As you may know – “Where Bloggers Live” is a group of ladies from around the country who post about their homes (inside and out), towns, and generally their lives. Be sure to check their links below to read about some of their childhoods…
This month is favorite jewelry – which is only difficult for me because I have a LOT of favorites. My mother managed a jewelry store when I was growing up so I spent a LOT of time there. I learned to appreciate diamonds and gold jewelry – but I love costume jewelry and have lots. And, of course I have a ‘herd’ of elephants. Who knew there could be so much elephant jewelry.

- This one has to lay on it’s side for you to truly understand it – see the Iris
-
- Sterling elephant butt – #3 son gave me this for my birthday when he was 10 years old
This little “Pearl Harbor” pin was sent to me from my Daddy when he was in the Navy – I was around 4 years old. VERY special pin!
Remember I’m old – jewelry has always been a fairly easy gift from family and friends , sooo there’s quite a bit. I’ve worked on sorting recently.
Saw a chart in one of my very old cross stitch magazines and thought that it would be a great place to hang my long ear-rings that have become so popular. It’s right next to my dresser and just over the elephant hanger.
The next ones are some that are really close to my heart.
-
- My great aunt’s locket – her initials on the front, date on back 1882
-
- Diamond cross from Chuck for Christmas years ago
-
- My grandmother’s locket – from the 1880
-
- Gold cross belonged to my Great Grandmother – 1870
You understand I could fill a book with my jewelry but I think it’s time you checked some of my blogging buddies for their take on this month’s “Where Bloggers Live”.
