Forks...cirlces....crystals

I know these three things don't sound like they should be related at all but in my jewelry collection they are! :)  I have a great bangle made out of a fork (yes...I mean a fork from your kitchen drawer) and I wore it today.  I LOVE this piece and am ready to order another one from the artist who made it.  If you're interested in his website, send me a note and I'll send you the link.  He makes great things from recycled, regular household items.  I have several of the pieces on my wish list!

The necklace is one I picked up at a Premier party and it had three chains on it...I wanted to be able to wear it in different ways so I took one of the chains off...added a lobster claw clasp to each end...and WALLAH!  a "new necklace" that I could wear with either one long strand and frame a shorter necklace, two strands (like I did today) or all three strands together!

The earrings are from a "lot" I bought on e-bay several years ago...have given lots of the the earrings away but kept a few...these I hadn't ever worn but they are great so I'm sure I'll be wearing them more often (well...after this challenge is over anyway).

Windy Wednesday!

Holy moly!  I can't believe the wind we had this afternoon!  If I didn't know better, I would have thought Riverton got moved down near Cheyenne!  Wow!

I went a little retro with my jewelry today...an enamel pin from the 60's (used to be Mom's) pinned to a mixed chain necklace from Initial Outfitters, big silver teardrop earrings from I/O, and a pretty spring-like scarf along with a hammered silver cuff bracelet.  Lots of compliments on my necklace...even from some young men who attend CWC (and they hardly ever notice stuff like that).

Beautiful spring day!

It was a gorgeous day today...I didn't want to be inside at work.  Would much rather have been outside enjoying the sunshine. At lunch, I even opened the sunroof for a bit--was a little chilly driving down the street but the sun sure felt good.

So far behind, I think I'm ahead!

I'm very far behind in my posting on this blog! I'm going to just go back and post the pictures that I managed to take on those days.

Last week, I made a trip to North Dakota to see my sister and her wonderful family! I had a GREAT time with my niece & nephew and my baby sister. I miss them so much!



Today's jewelry is a turquoise & silver set that I believe is an Avon piece. Haven't worn it in a while...Mom really liked it today so I think it'll go to her house for permanent residence. I have to make room in my jewelry box for the many new pieces that will be coming out in the new Initial Outfitters catalog in a couple of weeks! Can't wait!!!!

Monday, Monday, Monday

Spring has arrived on the calendar but not quite according to Mother Nature.  It wasn't exactly cold today but not warm either. 
The necklaces and earrings I wore today are an odd gold bead combination.  The gold cuff watch was a find on Dawn, Gina & my trip to Ft. Collins last year at Christmas. 

First day of spring!

Today is the official first day of spring!!!!!

So...in honor of the great occasion (and to reinforce my belief that it'll be warm enough for sandals soon), I had to dig out the orange polish for my toes and my toe ring!

Won't be long and I can dig out the many pair of sandals I have! Woo Hoo!!

Silver choker, silver & lapis earrings and a longer silver chain was my choice today.  

Long drive home...

Today I said goodbye to my sister and her family and started my long drive home from Dickinson.  I battled a head-wind the entire 300 miles to Billings.  I wasn't so sure they hadn't moved Billings! :)

The choice today was a long silver chain with the "swirling cross" pendant and big "swirl" earrings!  I love the earrings!

no idea...3/9-3/16

I didn't manage to take any photos of jewelry during this time...I can't even say why.  I just got out of the habit I guess!

March Madness Monday...

Turquoise and silver today...dark turquoise top, silver bangles, turquoise and silver necklace & turquoise earrings.  Glad that that dark tealy blue is a good color for me...its always good to like the colors that look good on us!

Had a wonderful conference call tonight for Initial Outfitters...it's a weekly occurance and each one just gets better!  Great information and ideas for success!  I am so happy with my new business choice!

Lazy Sunday....

Today was kind of a lazy day...I did my taxes, laundry, worked for a couple of hours, notarized two titles, and a few other things! Relaxing...right?

I'm also a bit behind on my posting so I'm going to post this and then go backwards and get caught back up.

It's getting harder to pick jewelry...I still have quite a few to choose from but it is getting tougher to decide what to wear.  The pendant I strung on this basic chain is one that actually started out as a "charm" on a purse I bought several years ago.  It fell off the purse and I decided it looked cool as a pendant.  Recycling!  The earrings go with just about anything.

Spring-like Saturday

I'm back-tracking now on my posts...it's actually the 6th of March and I am behind in my posting (imagine that?)  I have taken all the photos of the jewelry I've worn but just haven't managed to get my entries made here.

This necklace is one of those that changes colors depending upon what you put with it..I had purples on today so it looked more along those lines.  If you put it with black or gray, it looks totally different.  Almost a chameleon...a perfect addition in a jewelry wardrobe. 

TGIF!

It was a long week at work...don't mind working in the office alone but it does get lonely after a few days!  :)

Green & chocolate...

Chocolate pearls, green pearls, chocolate hammered earrings, and green stone ring.  I LOVE this necklace...can't wait to wear it again!

Holy Moly...it's March!

It is so hard to believe it's March already!  I picked out a bracelet today that I don't ever wear when I have to use a laptop computer.  The magnet in the clasp is very strong and has wiped out at least one laptop battery.  The pin was a Christmas gift from my sister Bert and the pendant is one I earned as a hostess of a jewelry party
