There are many things I love in life, and one of them is jewelry.
Why my husband is only just now catching on to that little fact this year, I don't know. I keep telling him, babe, listen. What do I want for Christmas? Smelly stuff, chocolate, a Fazioli piano, or jewelry. I'm easy like that.
I finally organized my jewelry yesterday. I have too many items to fit into my jewelry box anymore, so I now use the box that our wedding silverware came in. Creative? Yes. Functional? Mostly.
Any kleptomaniacs out there, don't get any brilliant ideas here. You will be sorely disappointed. While I might love jewelry, I never said I was a lover of fine jewelry. Most of these items are bargain shopped. The only high priced item I own is my wedding ring - which is on my finger and I never take it off. Partly because I decided after Taylor was born I was going to get it on my finger gosh darnitt, and it's been there ever since because apparently I still haven't lost enough weight to take it off without buttering up my finger, but also because I don't want to take it off :).
Two sentimental pieces though are my princess earrings from Will - can you spot them? And my pearl necklace that my Grandma gave me when I turned 21 (it was her's) - it is a vintage piece from the 1940's (upper right hand corner).

P.S. I have a stash of jewelry that I'm willing to donate to the first niece that wants them. It is random necklaces, earrings, etc that I no longer want or use. I will package them up all pretty like and mail them. Let me know.
