MY NEW NECKLACE

I spent the summer of 1997 in Russia and the one souvenir I brought back was a little cross pendant. Lacking any artistic (Lisa, are you proud of me for not saying "creative"?) ability, the cross sat in a drawer for years on end.

I finally sent the cross to Linda and asked her to make me something with it. She's one of my artsy craftsy friends and makes awesome jewelry, so I knew I could give her free reign to surprise me something I liked. While I've bought her jewelry for other people, I've never had any of my own. Until today. Check out the beautiful necklace that arrived in our mailbox today!!!




Greens and browns. What's not to love?! I'm boycotting regular clothes today, but the necklace is staying on til bedtime. We'll just pretend that it goes well with the blue and white jammies I've been wearing since last night.
