The best job ever and the coolest friends that I ever had were when I worked at a restaurant called the Heartthrob Cafe. It was in downtown St Paul, Minnesota and was so fun! Today we had a get together to catch up and reminisce. This is one of the many good things about facebook, finding people that you wished you never lost contact with.

Using a needle nose pliers I cut the binding down a bit then twisted and attached the ends together. It is not something for everyday wear, but it is unique and would be a great addition to a fun outfit.
