365 Days of Pearls

[baby nurse]

Thank you, BAS, GemGeek, and Katbran!

Day 210:

Pastel shades of gold today. Freshwater Keshi rope from Pearl Paradise and freshwater dangles. I have two pairs of these earrings, ones that are more lavender and these which are more gold with green overtone.












Sometimes I like to tuck a strand in and enjoy seeing the bits that peek out. Less is more ; )

 

[CathyKeshi]

I have never seen a strand of FW keshi with that coloring ... what was it called? So much gold! Gorgeous

 

[SunSeeker]

I've never seen that color either! Love all those golden pastel tones!

 

[baby nurse]

Hmm, maybe it's the fluorescent lighting I took the pictures in? I'll take a picture in natural light tomorrow. They are quite gold with lavender and peach, a bit of cream. Very metallic.

CathyK, I think PP just called them metallic multicolor Keshi. They sold them a few years ago during the Black Friday sale when they had all those loose soufflés and soufflé pendants for sale. They had quite a few of these Keshi ropes but they sold out within 3-4 hours.

I have some other Keshi necklaces but this one has the nicest shapes and luster.

 

[BAS]

a) I was JUST thinking of wearing that strand myself. I haven't worn it forever.

b) TUCKING IT IN?! Since when have you been doing that, to expose just a tease around the collar...?

 

[BWeaves]

I've never seen keshi like that, either. Gorgeous. I always think I don't like keshi until I see someone else wear a strand, and then I wonder what I was thinking. Except, the strands of keshi I've been sent were always dull and lifeless, which BN's strand is definitely NOT.

Thank you, Cathy, SunSeeker, BAS, and BWeaves!

Day 211:

Tahitian Keshi and iolite necklace and Tahitian/tourmaline dangles from Kojima Pearl.

 

[Lugana]

I like how you pair clothes with your pearl pieces baby nurse! What a lovely delicate iolite stand as well))

BWeaves, I agree that most fw keshis look pretty lifeless to me.. but when it comes to metallic luster - those are like fires! Love bn's keshis))

 

[Cicadalady]

So pretty with that sweater!!!

 

[battah]

Love love love these combos, BN! That golden keshi strand is just so gorgeous. And I adore the tourmaline Kojima earrings - beautiful.

 

[KaySD]

I just love that keshi necklace - it's delicate and powerful at the same time.

Purranha I LOVE this picture!! She was the softest, most adorable little ball of fluff and she's my favorite hen . I've had to bring her to the vet several times these last few weeks for foot issues and the vets marvel over how relaxed and content she is.

Then and now pics-- yes!! I love to see baby pictures of people's pets compared to how they look now! Here is a recent one of Hilda : )




And since we're on the topic of Hilda... I brought her to the vet a week ago for some ongoing foot issues. Amongst other things the vet wanted me to cover the affected foot with a bandage, a bootie, a sock. "Something". So I went to Walmart and found these.




When I was in line at the checkout, the cashier ran everything through and then held up the little socks. "Awww, these are SO cute!!" He was so enthusiastic that he showed them to the people ahead of me who hadn't moved on with their bags yet. I wondered if I should just let them enjoy the socks. Me: "Yeah. They're for my chicken." **silence**. I think there would have been more common ground had they been for a dog or cat lol.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Hahahaha! Love the sock story, and Hilda was SO cute as a baby.

Day 212:

Metallic drop pendant and earrings from Pearl Paradise.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Hilda's foot in the sock-- too cute!

 

[CathyKeshi]

Okay, from now on you are Chicken Nurse to me ... who else would brave WALMART to buy tiny socks for a chicken!?! Our hero and dear friend

I remembe having my finger on the BUY button on that pendant ... so beautiful; I'm so happy it belongs to you!
