a gift

I did a lot of window shopping today.  I walked away feeling tired and frustrated.  A friend asked me to accompany her on another shopping outing later, around five, and I agreed.  She wanted to hit up Gap's summer clearance sale for dress pants.  While there, I found this amazing, humongous minty green scarf with a pretty yellow pattern.  It was originally thirty, cut down to eighteen, and with the extra 50 percent off clearance, she bought it for me at six dollars and some change.  I didn't ask her to do it.  She just took it out of my hands and bought it for me.  I thanked her a lot!

I will wear this a lot!  

I played with the color balance but I can't quite capture the minty-grassy-emerald-ish green of this soft, lovely scarf.  And it's HUGE.  I can wrap it all the way around my body twice, and tie it.  

THANK YOU SO MUCH, S!

Jewelry Projects With Metal Findings

So obviously my insomnia has been paying off, and obviously these earrings were not meant for me, as I previously stated in A Writing Closet that I am allergic to metal.  So... anybody want?  

The picture of the top earrings isn't so good, but the lighting was bad and unfixable.  They are a yellow bead between to white spoked beads.  I think they resemble daisies, so I'm calling them Daisy Earrings.  The second pair I feel are very architectural.  I called them Piled Up Earrings because they remind me of piles of rocks on a beach.  Like so: 

These rock "sculptures" were piled up by my Uncle Ken one day in August of 2006 while we were vacationing in Bay Point, Ohio.  I took the picture.  I miss that place.  I miss the peace it always brought me.  I hope I can go back someday soon.  I haven't had a proper vacation in.... years.  I think this picture was from my last proper vacation, and before that it was somewhere around middle school.  

Well folks, I'm off to bed.  it's one in the morning and I have an early, friggin' loooong day ahead of me.  Peace out!
