A few nice things you do for yourself
and others
Can make a day seem so much better!
It can be just a little thing...
Like a sweater vest.

She bought a darling sweater vest at Sears that I just loved...

...Then...
...there's Kathy Alderfer's sweet jewelry I bought this December.
I saw her jewelry after visiting Anneliese's post, and purchased earrings for my daughters and a bracelet set for myself. They are indeed as lovely as they look online.
They're shipped ready to gift!
Amanda LOVES pumpkin pie ...so she got the pumpkin spice earrings.
Rachael LOVES peaches... so hers are the swarovski "summer peaches."
With my new sweater vest ready to wear and the bracelet set that just happened to match...
...it was actually FUN getting ready for work today.

I'm grateful for those early moments of fun before I drove off on the ice!

Hope you find a little fun in your week!

It's a great feeling to wear something new and pretty. And even greater that your daughter was able to do the same!

ReplyDeleteOh, Maria, How I enjoyed thinking of your daughter and you heading off to work in "matching" vests! Fun! I am fond of those peach earrings myself - may have to visit that site...
ReplyDeleteHope your first days back at school went well. My Grands only start again tomorrow (Wed) - they just left to go home. I'm recuperating...
The pearl earrings have me.
ReplyDeleteMaria, what a fun post! Thanks for the honor of being included in your blog. Glad you and your daughters are enjoying the jewelry creations!
