4th of July Necklaces!

No, I am not advocating hanging a string of lady fingers around your neck and setting them off!  Fireworks are illegal in most cities and states, so don't break the law.

But Hallmark has come up with a similar effect (without the subsequent burns) with their 4th of July/Bastille Day necklaces.  It is a thin chain of red, white and blue stars that will flash (in three speeds) at the press of the button.  Very festive looking.

Fran, of Fran's Hallmark, took great pains to show me the two extra batteries in the back of the package and cautioned me to look for them before pitching it.  She further warned that when those batteries are dead, buy the replacements at the 99 Cent Store.  She cautioned that in other stores, the same batteries will cost $6 or $8. 

Each necklace is $6.  They may be available at other places, but I know for sure Hallmark has them.  And am not shilling for Hallmark!
