Happy Easter






It's semi sunny and I'm sure all the kids will be hunting for Easter eggs. Above is a 1981 wedgewood jasperware blue egg with lillies.

While poking around I ran across this old catalog for sell. it's in poor condition from 1912.


It does have some great images of necklaces. Where's my time machine pendants for 13 dollars?


Here's a necklace from around that time perhaps a little early. The detail work is great.




Now it's time to go hop along the road for the day  (really that means driving to go do laundry)

The Colors of Pearls


I wore some colored freshwater pearls to work. It's amazing not just colors we can produce with dye but natural colors that exist.






Here a chart I found that explains some of the different types of pearls.

Happy St. Patricks Day!


The image above is a Calla Lilly that is in our front yard. The photo was taken on my iPhone cropped a bit and then I used Camera Bag App.  Here the original.


I realized today except for a few pieces of jewelry I really don't own allot of green clothing. And if you don't own any green clothing either Green vintage jewelry is an easy find.


And as always just in time for the holiday another hair change. Yup back to the red and a cut to reshape.


Bye bye Brown. Hair never looks as good as when you get back from the Salon (below).


Here a few other shots of the Calla Lilly
