Gardening


My garden.






It's no secret that I love flowers. And I love gardening.  A few months ago, I found this necklace by Ann Taylor, called Electric Garden. I was absolutely charmed by it, and got to thinking.

With a little bit of this and a little bit of that from my own stuff, and a few other bits from Michael's, I started to lay out a design.

A coworker, who makes jewelry, said she'd put it together for me....just the way I wanted it. And after a few tweaks and little adjustments, here is my own vintage garden necklace:


I'm crazy about it.

We spent this vacation day thrifting and going to estate sales before laying around on the beach all afternoon. Could I have this life please?
