Signs of Spring..ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

A wonderful day in smalltown northern California...

Ate my lunch along the "Riverwalk",

read my book, closed my eyes, watched and listened to the ducks,

what a glorious day off. 

So restful, so peaceful, so thankful for the beauty, so good, so god!

St Pat's Day Blessings

I will always love St Patricks Day.

Its my son's birthday!

And we were lucky enough to have a great dinner

with two awesome friends.

I am blessed! 

And now he's 18, do you think I can start charging him rent?

The luck of the Irish

I am a member of a yahoo group: Altered Couture, and 

I of course have to read blogs from the fab people in it.

So I came across this blog:

http://debvandetdesigns.blogspot.com/ 

And entered a drawing..and 

LOOK what I got in the mail Sat:

Deborah not only gave me this wonderful Celtic necklace and matching earrings,

but look at the packaging-complete with my name on the front!

What a treasure!!!

Thanks so much Deborah-I will wear this with pride on Wed, and post more pics then.

Many layers

I never was much in to layering before...

but, loosing weight, and that it was 45 degrees yesterday 

(and on the coast w/our moisture-COLD!)

I have learned how. 

Plus I am missing some of my lighter weight clothes, and am working

on different ways to make them work.

 And more jewels for you to enjoy!

Catching up....Hi there!

Here's the outfit that went with the "birthday earrings" in the previous post.

Im still having fun with outfits, and still loving turquise, so thought I would give you peek.

Here I am on Valentines day at work. Sorry so washed out , took the pic in the front window at work, because, heck I matched the sofa!

This skirt was long and very full, so I chopped it off, leaving the lining longer and adding lace at the trim.

I 've had this lace bling for quite a while, and thought it helped jazz up up this plain jane.

But a skirt with pockets!!! Such a find!

And last, yep, my colored world. Dont you love how my outfit matches my new armoire?

I am totally addicted to more turquise in my wardrobe and surrounding me.

Bittin by the jewels

Yep, I've got the Jewelry Fever.

The first pic is my earring stash in lovely little , but cramped shell boxes that I have collected.

Too small, unorganized, yep a mess.

The second..ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Pretty, easy to find, plus a lovely way to display all my favorite shells and memories with my earbobs.

 

These earrings were my "birthday" earrings.

Every year I go to my favorite beady-bead shop

and make a pair of earrings. This year my son went 

with me (I know, how patient!) and helped me with these, and 

treated me to this pair. 

So along with being easy to access, I get 

to look at all my earrings, and the lovely memories that are associated to them.
