Grouchy and Gorgeous at the same time.

I am the luckiest gal I know.  My good buddy Nat from Northshore Days makes beautiful, gorgeous jewelery.  And I just happen to have received a package from her the other day.  Nothing better than some new bling to start the new year.  Click here to go directly to her post on Stacked Pendants!!  Because that's what I'm going to be showing off and you are going to want one of your own.

When I saw this creation of hers, I fell in love.  It's unique and like nothing I'd seen before.  The beads are gorgeous and have a real nice heft to them.

Selfy alert!!

 I almost never take this necklace off.  And I get compliments wherever I go! 

Except when I wear this one.  I actually won this pretty piece in the"name this" contest she had on her Facebook Page and I was thrilled!  I love the hip combo of distressed bronze, the wing and key and the pretty red bead which adds a touch of color.

Selfy Alert!  Aren't you lucky a double selfy day here at the hearth.  ahem.  yeah. 

Of course I am wearing my favorite nasty sweater.  Look, it's cold and I try to avoid heating my house.  I wear sweaters instead.  Even ones that aren't beautiful.  Luckily I have beautiful jewelery to offset the rattiness of the sweater. 

And finally, because Nat's so rad, she sent my girls each a beautiful memory bracelet.  My Oldest cannot remember where she took hers off when she wore it the other day.  Grandma's, maybe?  sigh.  So, My Youngest became my reluctant bracelet model.  Prepare yourself for pure grumpy grouchiness...and a cute bracelet.  Seriously, somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

Won't you put on this pretty shirt so we can take your picture? 

I only want to wear my jammies!!!

At least put your hand down, how am I supposed to get your face?

No!

Just one little smile, with teeth?

nuh uh.

Thanks for reading!
