a few of my favorites

you know how sometimes you have certain things that you just love so much you think, "it's pretty enough to take a picture of"? well, that's how i feel about these things. i just keep looking at them and thinking what little dreamboats they are. little do they know, their time in the spotlight probably won't last for too much longer, because when chris and i get back from our trip, i'm going to have lots of seashells, sand dollars, and other little treasures a deserted beach has to offer. until then, here are a few of my favorites...

the first favorite is a little collection of feathers i found (turkey, seagulls, crow) and displayed in a vintage metal flower frog. the second favorite is a pair of earrings erica surprised me with (i plan to introduce her and her lovely shop once it's stocked again). next is a ring i made from a slice of amethyst. i actually think i like looking at the stone more than i like the idea of wearing it! last is a little sampling of my amethyst stone collection. sometimes i think i should have been a geologist, but then i remind myself that i would want to keep everything, so i'd actually be terrible at it.

what are some of your current favorites? and do you randomly take pictures of possessions that you love so much or is it just me?

chris and i leave for our trip this saturday, and if we have an internet connection on the island, i'll be sure to share some pictures with you. i'm super excited!
