Move over Tiffany...

I've had many a grand adventure this summer, this year, this decade. In all of those grand adventures, small moments stand out almost more fragrantly than the big ones. One such small moment was wandering in SOHO last month and coming across the most delightful jewelry store. It was an oasis for those of us who love to don a good pair of original earrings.

I was hooked the moment I saw them, but then the prices made me gulp just a little bit. But then the earrings made me gulp a lot more. So, I decided, being unemployed as I was at the time, being frugal as I was trying to be at the time, and being very aware of my bank account balance, that I would buy a pair. That's logic.

Do you ever do that? Do you ever get to such a stressed out point that you lose all control and spend $80 on a pair of earrings to make everything ok for just a moment?

I do. And I did. And I don't regret it. Because now I am employed and now I have the earrings. I wish I had a photo of them with me now, but I don't. I'll put one up soon.

Apparently GAS Bijoux is the latest rage in NYC and Paris and sweeping the world with its elegance. Take a look, you WON'T be dispppointed...unless you are. Simple. Pretty.

Something Green

Spring

Thoughts of Spring make me want to breathe in fresh flowers and read a book while sitting by the lake. To feel the sun warm my cherry-blossom cheeks and squint my eyes in the sun.

Thoughts of spring make me want to braid my hair like I did today so the breeze doesn't blow it in my eyes. To have my hair smell like sunshine and lavender.

And write pretty letters on vintage paper to send to my love ones far away.

And wear light clothes that make me feel like a woman...clothes that barely rest on my skin, clothes that feel like light wind and warmth and smell like lemon.

And eat fresh things that grow on local trees.

Then tie everything up with an easter-egg flavored bow.

Something Pretty...

Today I discovered something pretty on etsy. You should look at her creations. They are perfect for spring. I love the opaque colors. They make me happy. Spring makes me happy. Jewelry makes me happy.As Michael Scott would say: it's a win-win-WIN

Perfect little earrings to wear while donning a light white sundress--my yellow hair plaited off to the side, and a sparkle in my blue eyes. They are fresh. They match the color of my cheeks. I just might have to get these.

I think this green is a perfect Easter color. It reminds me of only good and simple things. It also reminds me of old English dames...and that makes me happy too. It also makes me want tea. I better be off to put the pot on. Wish you could join me.
