60 Days...and a Little Wishing...

Just a little while ago, I got off the phone. With a good friend of mine. One that I hadn't talked to, in way too long!!! Say over a month...too long. If we're being honest here, it's almost been 2 years, since we've seen one another.

This is the same friend, that I used to meet for lunch...oh, 4 times a week. We'd literally spend 5 hours chatting. Meet up for lunch, that would take us well into dinner. That friend. One of my friends, that I'm desperately missing right now.

The funny thing that stuck in my brain...was Christmas. Don't panic or anything. But it's only 60 days until Christmas. I know!!! Where has the time gone? And my friend, she wants to know...just what I want. Um, even I was stumped by that question.

For the most part, I'm super easy to shop for! Buy me a scarf, and I'm your BFF. Get me some candles, I'm over the moon. A pair of chandelier earrings, I might just jump up and down.

But my friend was looking for something more specific. I thought, and thought. Then I remembered what I had told this guy, just the other day. Anything from Stella & Dot, makes me happy! Heck, I sold it for years. Cause you know, someone had to pay for medical school. :)

I thought I'd make it even easier for my friends. Pick out a few favorites. And you know, get them started. Because, Christmas is just 60 days away. I'm not panicking yet. Are you? So let's get started...

First up, Serenity Stone Drops. In jade please. :) $49 for the pair. And I'd just love them so! You know me and my earrings.

Keeping with earring theme, how about these Charlize Teardrop Earrings. Priced at $34. I just adore the various shades of blue. :)

Next, well there are 2 things in this picture. The Soar Necklace, for $59. Yes, this is my favorite of the bunch. But don't forget about the Tree of Life Necklace. For $69. Another darling!

I'd adore the Chelsea Necklace. In gold. For $59. Isn't it just lovely? You could layer it with other necklaces. Or wear it alone.

One of the mot gorgeous necklaces that I've seen, and amazing values, is the Glint Flower CZ Necklace. $39 for years of happiness! Don't you think???

Another simple necklace that I just adore, is the Aura Coin Drop Necklace. Come on, it's gorgeous! And just $49. Even I'm tempted to buy this one. Because I could see myself wearing it, every single single day!!!

Another favorite of mine, is this Serenity Small Stone Pendent. It reminds me of my birthstone. And is just $49. Honestly, this necklace would make a nice "every day" necklace too. :)

Something a little more understated, Odette Infinity Necklace. For $39. I just adore the mix "of colors."

Along those same lines, is the Together Forever Necklace. For $59. I adore the mix of metals. The different sizes, also makes this necklace interesting. Oh, I think I'm in love!!!

But really, we NEED to talk about the Infinity Charm Necklace. A little pricey at $79. But it is adorable!!!

The last necklace, that I'll be talking about is, the With Love Necklace. For $69. I like it's simplicity. But amazing meaning. This is high on my list!!!

How about a a few bracelets? Over the last few months, I've really fallen in love with bracelets. Any kind really. But here are a few of my favorites. :)

How about something for $19? This Courage Bracelet is one of my favorites. I just adore the style. And the little charm.

The Hope Bracelet is one of my favorites. Really it is! It's $32. But my favorite quality, is the rose gold! I've been a fan of rose gold, since I was a wee one!!!

The Elizabeth Bracelet is just plain fun!!! With a little bit of sass. For $29. Don't you just love it too? I do!

I can't help but be a fan of the Luna Wrap Bracelet. For $89. I think this would be a nice piece to own. Something that goes with a lot of other jewelry. But the real star here, is the Sole Bracelet. For $39. I don't know what it is, I just adore it!!!

Don't think I'm a spoiled brat. Or that I'm begging my friend for anything. She asked me a question. And it got me thinking. Of a few things, that I would welcome into my life.

But in reality, I'd adore a scarf from Wal-Mart, or a pair of earrings from Target. Heck, a nice lunch would be nice too! Although, if this Mr. is reading...these earrings, this necklace, or this one, or this one, or even this bracelet...they'd love living with us too!!! ♥

Adding Summer Color!!!

I've been looking for some colorful accessories. Something to add a little fun, to my wardrobe. Here's the deal. 9 months a year, I wear black. Almost all the time. Then in the warm Summer months, I turn to white. I'm that woman, that wears all white. All summer long. Ugh! I know, I need help!

So I've been branching out. Buying colored denim. Which I LOVE!!! Adding some fun accessories. But I've been looking for some colorful accessories. Something like these...




A pretty fuchsia clutch. Wouldn't this be fun? The perfect bit of Summer color. To dress up a casual outfit. Or to add with a cute dress.



Oh wellies! I've been searching for some fun rain boots. We travel a lot. And to places where it's ALWAYS raining. At home, I have my own rain boots. That I wear to garden in. Or when it's raining. But I'd like some fun, and colorful rain boots, for when we're on the road. And these peach ones, are ADORABLE!!!



I'm a BIG fan of silver jewelry. And of turquoise stones. I'm from the southwest. So I've grown up around this type of jewelry. I ADORE this bracelet!!! I think it would add a lot of fun, to a white dress.

Now if I just knew where, these accessories where from. That's the only sad thing about Pinterest. It's hard to track down the source of the pictures. Have you seen these accessories? Or anything fun like them? What do you think of fun Summer colors? ♥

Little Rain Drops

I've ALWAYS been a big fan of rain. I'm giving the credit to my grandparents. As I spent years and years, with them. For many summers, I'd spend 2 months with them. In the mountains. They had a tin roof. And when the summer rains rolled into the mountains, there was nothing better then sitting on their porch. Listening to the steady rain falling. Watching, as it cleaned the Earth.

I still feel like that. When the rain rolls in, I feel like I'm 5 years old again. Sitting on that front porch. Watching as God cleanses the world. The only way, that really wipes away the filth. I'm drawn to rain. Forget rainy nights. I'll spend hours, just listening to the rain. Feeling a certain "peace" come over me.

Lately, rains have been seldom. Far between. Something that I've craved more and more. I just feel like my own spirit, needs some cleansing. And there is nothing like a good rain, that cleans a person's soul. And since we haven't had rain, I've searched out some rain inspired treats. :)



This rain cloud necklace, is so incredible! It's delicate. Unexpected. And so fun! Now if I could just find the seller...



What about this fun and colorful rain cloud? So fun! Another treat, that I'd LOVE to own! The colorful raindrops, just make me smile!!!



And this precious picture makes me smile! I can't find a source for this one either. :( But this is something, that I can try to replicate. Oh yes! I just need to head out for a canvas. I can't wait, to have a little fun painting like this.

It's funny, how much I like rain, rain clouds, rain drops...anything of that sort! Have you seen anything similar? I'd LOVE to hear all about it! Because I'm so serious, about purchasing some "rain" inspire items. ♥

I've Always Wanted One!!!

Have you ever had anything on your "Wishlist," that you've wanted for years? Something that you swear, you're going to buy. But never do. Something that screams at you. But you seem to ignore it? For me, that would be a "Pocket Watch Necklace."



I found this picture on Pinterest. With no source. WHAT??? If I could find these sweet watches, I'd buy all 3! Without thinking twice. Because when I was 7 years old, I walked away from the most gorgeous Pocket Watch. At a yard sale. And it still haunts me. To this day!

Have you seen anything similar? Anything on Etsy? Or maybe you know where this picture is from. I'd appreciate the help! I'm a lady on a mission. To buy a watch, that reminds me of my Grandpa! ♥

Coral Necklace

I'm a HUGE fan of big jewelry. Big, bold, and colorful jewelry! While looking for some decoration inspiration, I came across this picture. Isn't this necklace gorgeous? I'd LOVE to have it for Summer!



I'm a HUGE fan of Pinterest! I LOVE to be inspired by all the pictures. But it aggravates the heck out of me, when I can't find the source. Like for this necklace. How can I buy it...if I don't know where it came from? Well, have you seen this necklace anywhere? I'd LOVE to buy it! Summer is just around the corner. ♥

Fun Jewelry

It's been one of those days. Family issues. House problems. Overwhelmed with studying. I never got in touch with a friend. And I just didn't feel well. Ugh! So I took a deep breath. And had a long talk with this guy. Which ALWAYS makes me feel better! Seriously!

Sometimes real life can get you down. Family issues, weigh on you. Make you feel, like you are carrying the weight of the world, on your shoulders. And sometimes, you just need a distraction from all of that!

Earlier, this guy went to get us dinner. He insisted, that he was in charge of dinner tonight. Honestly, it made me feel good. So I had about an hour, to do a little searching on the internet. And I came up with a few things, that I really like. :)



First up, is this cuff. It's so interesting. There's something about the shape. And the metal. I really enjoy the "handmade" feel of this piece too. The only thing, that I don't like, is that I can't find the source...



How about this bracelet? First of all, it's purple. My favorite color! And the design is nice. Simple. Something you could wear every single day. I like the knot detail. It just adds a nice bit of interest to the piece. Oh, and I've been wanting a leather bracelet. But this bracelet, well, it just seems more interesting.



And lastly, we come to this necklace. I'm sorta in love with it. :) The idea of a chalkboard necklace, it just intrigues me. What else can I say? I've never seen anything like it.

And that's my little bit of "internet" shopping. Even if I didn't buy anything. And I fell asleep. It distracted me, and made me relax a bit. This guy let me take a long nap. And tonight, we enjoyed a quiet dinner at home. Catching up on our favorite shows. Let me tell you, it was a great distraction from our "real life." ♥

Homako

Love this Etsy shop! Homako has the cutest pieces. They're all handmade. With some pretty cute and original ideas. Actually, they make me, want to start making jewelry again. Oh, that used to be so much fun! Anyway, take a look at Homako's Shop. All I can say is, Eye Candy!



This is one of my favorite necklaces in the shop. Don't you just LOVE this style?!?!?! And the colors! So cute! I'd LOVE to buy it. But $32! A little much for me. Considering it's made out of felt. Oh, but I do LOVE it! I think it would like so cute with a white t-shirt, jeans, and a cute blazer. Maybe I'll convince myself to buy it. ♥

So Pretty!

I'm LOVING this necklace! Does anyone know where it's from? I hope it's from an Etsy Shop. Or something like that. Because I seriously want one. Yes, I do! I just don't know what it is. But lately, I've really been drawn to fun pieces like this. I'd appreciate any help trying to find this beauty. ♥

Pretty

I really want to make a necklace like this. Maybe a little smaller. With a bit more fancy gems. But I'd really like to make something like this. I've had it on my "to-do" list for a while now. But I seriously need to make some time. I think it would be a nice piece to have for summer. ♥

So Pretty

Isn't this just the prettiest thing ever? See, crochet doesn't have to be all about granny squares and baby sweaters. It can also be about cute jewelry pieces. Yes, I have this necklace on my Wishlist. Maybe I'll get inspired, and make me one. It shouldn't be that hard. Right? But isn't this necklace just beautiful? ♥
