Yes, these are earrings. Anyone remember the days of rotary phones? It was a bleak time in my life. All of my friends had push button phones in their houses. Not in my house. No sir. We had 2 green rotary phones & I really wanted a third phone in the basement. So my parents purchased one of these black phones from the back of a magazine. It weighed a ton. And it was a pain. These earrings will not be a pain. You’ll look cute in them. From CuteAbility, $4.00.

Buy the set of 4 cards…they’re awesome. From Cherry Moon Photography, $12.00.
