Necklaces

A couple weeks ago I lost my favourite necklace. I was so upset. It was this really great subtle silver chain with a small pendant on it that Brad had given me years ago. In fact, it was probably the first piece of jewellery he ever gave me.

It was 11:30 at night when I realized it was missing. We ended up in the park with flashlights. Early the next morning I was back out scouring the grass in earnest, and to no avail. I was/am devastated.

On Friday I came home from work and there was a package in the mail. I am expecting a couple of Etsy packages and thought it was one of them, although it was coming to the wrong address. I glanced at the return address - the UK? That's weird.....I was sure the shops were in the States.....total confusion.

I opened the package and pulled out a slip of paper:

....and encountered Brad grinning away. Right away the tears came and I asked him "What did you do?!"

What he did was buy me two amazing pieces of jewellery from my favourite Etsy shop of all - Owl on the Sill.

I've had my eye on this necklace for ages. (Seriously I marked it on January 10th and have coveted it, and the rest of her shop ever since.)

I've wanted a pair of wire wrapped earrings for a long time, and hers are the best. She always seems to have the proportion of wire to stone just right and the stones she uses are so pretty. These deliver, they are gorgeous!!

Now I'm finding myself choosing what to wear based on what will match my new jewellery.

I have the best husband ever.
