.....I Love The Small Packages!

Yesterday....this gorgeously wrapped small package came

in the mail. It made me really happy because yesterday

July 14 was my 21st wedding anniversary. It wasn't from Jeff.....

rather from LuLu Kellogg. I was anxiously awaiting this

package since the day I ordered it.

Here's what was inside....this awesome pendent. I love anything

with a fluer-di-lis. So I was smitten with this piece anyway.

What really sold me though....was LuLu found this vintage

drawer pull in the basement of her 1890's Victorian home.

Stories like that just get me....because as you are well aware I live

in a vintage farm house from the 1850's. I love this piece....and I am

sure it will always be one of my favorites.

I guess I just might as well confess....I have sort of been on

a spending spree. Look at this lovely.....(which isn't captured as

beautifully on camera as it is in person). This piece was created

by Kim Hanauer. It is created from a 1950's stretch rhinestone

bracelet with a gorgeous rhinestone broach attached. I love

it's casual....yet dressing look.....plus it is super comfortable. I

don't buy into the old adage....it's better to look beautiful....than

feel beautiful. I guess when you are 45 & married 21 years.....

comfort is a big plus! I hope you have enjoyed seeing my

purchases. Thank you to my lovely friends for

being so creative & beautifully talented.
