Jewelry with Meaning

Once upon a time, when I was a fashion forward city girl, I wore every accessory imagineable. Bracelets, earrings, pins, necklaces, and rings, you name it, I wore it. Things changed though when I moved to the mountains. By adopting a more relaxed, albeit plain attire, I also began pairing down the "bling-bling". Piece by piece, my everday flair dwindled to just one essential. The only thing you find me wearing on a daily basis now is a necklace.

Currently, I have a few different necklaces that I enjoy wearing. However, most of the time I will stick with the one in particular that is resonating with me the most. Although, I don't alternate too often. I have a well known habit of wearing things out when I really like them. For example, I wore one necklace, day in and day out, that my best friend gave to me as a gift. That thoughtful token means so many different things to me, and is one that will definitely remain in my top favorites. Always. But recently, as good fortune would have it, someone bestowed upon me a very special handmade piece that has quickly become my new favorite.

Meet my Birdie

This gift came from a lovely and talented lady by the name of Lisa Leonard, who is the creative mind behind Lisa Leonard Designs, a purveyor of simple yet sophisticated collectibles. Upon receiving my uniquely crafted work of art, I examined and reveled upon the hand-cut and hand-stamped medallion I held. You can instantly tell that Lisa devotes great care to her work. My little birdie even sings me a song! A little secret that you won't know until you own one yourself, is that the pearl accent she adds creates a melodic tink which resounds with every movement--I love the sound it makes. That sort of unexpected detail is what makes her jewelry so special, and as a result, a pleasure to own. I already want another one :)

Throughout Lisa's online shop you are sure to find many different treasures to add to your "I'm going to own that!" list. As a matter of fact, you will probably find a handful! I especially like her custom "mommy necklaces", they are the perfect keepsakes! Right now seems like an opportune time to cash in on Mother's Day--not that it's about the gifts ;). To sweeten the pot, she even passed along a coupon code to WW readers! So, if you are looking for a keepsake that is as wonderfully unique as you are, Lisa Leonard Designs is definitely the place to go.

'Twisting Tree Necklace'

Maybe you've noticed or maybe I've failed to mention the fact that I love, love, love TREES;
taking photos of them, wearing them, sitting beneath them, etc.
The Twisting Tree Necklace is something I purchased (a few weeks ago) the instant I laid eyes on it, especially since it was only $11.99, whata deal**! Unfortunately, I'm dropping the ball on you and the Twisting Tree Necklace is now sold out, but they did still have the rings available tonight when I checked. Which by the way, are equally as cute. Other items are available throughout the website, and as the name "ModCloth" implies they do carry items that fit in that genre along with others that are similar in taste. I was extremely pleased with the websites service, my ordered was processed very quickly and it was shipped faster than lighting!

**Maybe you would like to know that these are not sterling silver, hence the low, low price!
*This vinyl tree necklace to the right is next on my list if I get to it in time!!

"Favorite Things"

My New Purse:
I've gone to some great lengths to find a new purse that is big but not too big, and a purse that has enough pockets so that everything isn't scattered about in the depths so no one can possibly find what they are looking for when they need it. This purse fits that criteria perfectly! What makes this "blog worthy" is a) I've been looking for a new one for some time now b) I bought this one instead of another one that would have been more expensive. There are some slight variations between both purses but as far as I'm concerned they are basically the same but one was cheaper! See The More Expensive Purse here and notice that the only color options were green or red which I was prepared to deal with. Anyhoo, you can only go on so long about a stinking purse, but I just had to share. Oh and this purse I only paid $12.96 for with no shipping necessary!! Whata deal....
