Does your jewelry reflect your mood?

-
Mood rings were popular in the 1970's
Are you one of those ladies who wear the same pieces of fine jewelry every day of your life? Perhaps you have a special diamond necklace you wear on those very formal occasions. Since you are reading this blog, it is more likely that you express yourself thru the jewelry you wear. Your moods probably affect your accessorizing, and your accessories may even determine what outfit you wear for the day!


Today, I found this to be so in my own life. I was busy sorting mounds of costume jewelry from Goodwill jars that I have piled up in the guest bedroom. While this truly needed to be done, it was more an exercise in keeping busy.  My husband and I have been dealing with an upsetting situation. We had been in an organization for 20 years, but it became apparent that we had no choice but to separate ourselves.  As yesterday rolled around, the deep sadness began to clear a bit and I began to feel glad to be free! Onward, ho! The future awaits! I know God has something good in store for us.

As I placed jewelry in little ziplock bags, I came across a piece of jewelry I would never have thought I would wear. Before I knew it, I was wearing this edgy two-knuckle ring below!  I loved it! It was a "You go girl," kind of moment, I guess.


Try something a bit different, and you might be surprised! 
While I am not a fan of anything that involves ink, needles, pain or holes, it can be a lot of fun and even a bit cathartic to wear a style of jewelry that is completely out of character for you. (Perhaps, there is a side to you that nobody has seen!)

Until next time!

An embarrassing moment in the Dollar General

  This is one of those experiences that is only funny after the fact.  We came out to the car and couldn't stop laughing! But, the temperature in the car was not too chill before we went in...... It All started with those dumb coupons on your Dollar General receipt. You may have seen them or used them. $5 off $25 or occasionally $10 off $40, good only one Saturday. Dollar General is the only store remotely close to us. ( Hum  the Cheers song..."where everybody knows your name.")  Ken needed something for his grill-out tonight and he had a $5 off coupon. He asked if I wanted to go, but we had already gotten groceries. But, as I perused the digital coupons and saw a $10 off $40. Oh, boy!! So, I hatched a plan that I would buy $40.00 worth of food for meals and a few side items to accompany the meat in our chest freezer for only $30. This was a brilliant, money saving idea, and I was jumping at the bit to put it into motion. Going down the country road to DG, as we call...

A giggle from the past

Funny stories don't usually come via the Obituaries, but that is just what happened to me today. I used to question why people picked up the newspaper and went straight to the obits. Now that I am of a certain age, I understand. Daily I read the email obituaries from the local newspaper, or what is left of it.   Often, perusing the names of the deceased and their kin will jog your memory of someone or some event that you haven't thought of in ages.  Today, there was the photograph and long obituary of a lady from the church in which I grew up. Her late husband is the one who I am sharing this story about; it is 100% true.   This church was the largest, most affluent Baptist church in town. It was what you would call "high church," although absent some of the liturgy used in Methodist, Presbyterian and Episcopal churches.  You had to walk up a very large set of steps as though you were entering a Roman temple. (In later years, an elevator was installed for ...

"It was the best of times and it was the worst of times," ....really.  Now that it is over, we have laughed harder and longer than we have ever laughed in our lives. Yet, we could easily have been shot or, at best, arrested. It all started Saturday when we went on a spur of the moment little trip to Small Town, Virginia, to source some unique jewelry items for our Thursday night costume jewelry AUCTIONS on YouTube. We had hit a few antique malls and thrift stores, and we were headed back home. We had just pulled back into Tennessee when I spotted an "Estate Sale" sign in an older, unfamiliar neighborhood. Ken, who was in the wrong lane, hit his signal light and whipped into the right lane and turned.  But, he drove past the road where the sign was and we had to circle a hilly block to come back to the house with several cars parked around it. So,  Ken parked in front and we walked a steep incline. With each step I felt my sciatica knee pain worsen....the past fe...
