Misanthrope is our host this week for fun Monday…our assignment:
- I hope this one hasn’t been done yet. Do you have a piece of jewelry or other item that holds great personal significance for you, and that you wear or keep with you every day? Show us a photo of your talisman, and tell us why it is so important to you.
Years ago, when I was working, I wore earrings! All the time earrings. I have my ears pierced –twice on each lobe. In fact, my goal was to have 365 pairs of earrings. But hey…times change. I decided when Bud retired, I’d quit too. And that meant not wearing earrings daily. With that change in life, I stopped wearing a lot of jewelry also. Except for my wedding rings, I am rarely seen with much ‘glitter and glamour’. But I do have favorites. Cameos and butterflies. Since I’ve posted a couple of times about cameos, I thought I’d show this butterfly ring Bud bought me for a Christmas gift one year, that I continue to wear daily [well, it's taken off for some household chores, but it's put back on when I'm done]. It’s very unique in style; I’ve never seen one like it even today. The butterfly wings are pink and imperial lavender topaz, the body you’ll see small diamond chips with two tiny diamonds on the side of the body. [fyi...I used to be able to wear it on my third finger....not anymore! I am doing good if I can get it on my pinky finger. Life and fat cells have settled that!!! rofl]
