Wanted to try both but haven't. Not a lot of places to learn on the farm, so with most all of my stuff, it is self-taught. The computer must be filled with information, but it and I have a terrible relationship. donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974379645841145390.post-68728130690323055192017-01-28T11:20:49.803-06:002017-01-28T11:20:49.803-06:00Oh, MY!!

The baby boots and the perfect wind-blown bonsai---how you capture all the shapes and shadows, especially with that mouse-hair brush---that's beyond me. Thinking SMALL is a great gift in this case, for they are simply charming in their Lilliput proportions.<br /><br />And the JADE--what a lovely thing, jade. The beads, unlike always warm pearls, seem always to be cool to the touch, aloof and royal in their round gleam.<br /><br />And you can continue to explore your art closets and cupboards, your what-nots and bibelot cases and etageres, turning out their contents as long as you have time and patience---they're a source of great treasure and interest. With your taste and eye for the unusual and wonderful, I think we'd all be agog for the contents of your purse.<br /><br />rRachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974379645841145390.post-27338764727269074392017-01-26T14:30:59.636-06:002017-01-26T14:30:59.636-06:00Thank you Gayle.

I didn't remember all that detail. I've been looking for a small jewelry box that is clear with different little drawers and cubbies, but can't find one small enough for my little collection. Hopefully I will find one someday as now everything is in little bags scattered everywhere. I don't know of Ted Muehling. I'd love to see them.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974379645841145390.post-56914166258966256802017-01-26T13:40:28.473-06:002017-01-26T13:40:28.473-06:00Donna, adore your necklaces.

After losing a gold bangle during my retail days I sort of went minimal. Just my watch and pearl earrings. Every now and then I will change up the earrings to some of my favorite Ted Muehling, but mostly just keep the jewels in their boxes.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974379645841145390.post-4400263788840986902017-01-26T09:29:00.884-06:002017-01-26T09:29:00.884-06:00And I forgot to say thank you very much.And I forgot to say thank you very much.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974379645841145390.post-20019846122913628832017-01-26T09:27:11.831-06:002017-01-26T09:27:11.831-06:00Sandra, thank you so much.

The remainder is costume jewelry I've bought just for fun and travel. I've been editing again lately though, just had too much. My goal is to keep a few special pieces, and hope for a pair of substantial diamond studs (I'm tall so tiny ones just won't work, haha!) which are always beautiful and can be worn anywhere at anytime! <br />My most loved piece is the ring which Sir Winston Churchill's daughter Sarah gave to my mother as a friendship gift when they were in the Royal Air Force together during WW2. It's like a seal with the young Queen Victoria's head - a big conversation piece always when I wear it.<br /><br />Happy day dear friend - Mary Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974379645841145390.post-31862262324227008542017-01-26T06:07:18.079-06:002017-01-26T06:07:18.079-06:00Necklace, brooch, rings, the chunkier the better, ...Necklace, brooch, rings, the chunkier the better, pile 'em on! Nothing is especially valuable. I wear a necklace almost every day. I like them short and often have them shortened by the maker to sit comfortably close to the nape of the neck so that they don't bang about. I sometimes buy a ring or a necklace while on holiday. I've got jewellery from my mother and grandmother and love the memories attached to all the pieces that I've got.Share my Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817611851604816123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974379645841145390.post-67718021528999159782017-01-25T19:07:19.959-06:002017-01-25T19:07:19.959-06:00Minimal jewelry here, though I have a few good pie...Minimal jewelry here, though I have a few good pieces, but rarely wear them.
