All My Pearls

[waimeamomi]

Almost, at least most of what I have right now. I did break down and put in a few rhodochrosite beads for the mouth. This is my new avatar! Pictures with pearls anyone?

I was so wrapped up in looking at the pearls that I didn't see the "whole picture" until the others posted.
Doh.....

Are these the pearls you have for yourself?. You're lagging (snigger). I've got a disgustingly big pile. Better not point it out to my husband, heh heh.

Hi Kathy,

At least you can tell him it's just a strand you are testing for comfort or some such!

 

[Cathybear]

LOLOL... I'm testing a LOT!! I did have them hanging on the wardrobe door, but that made it a bit too obvious how many I had; now some are in silk pouches and the ones I wear most are piled in a pretty bowl on my bedside table. Not quite as obvious just how many there are. Of course us 'pearl collectors' could tell at a glance, but he hasn't noticed (or at least he hasn't commented).

Yes, Cathy, you know my tactic is to keep Hubby in the dark!

 

[Cathybear]

I do NOW!! lololol

 

[Amrita]

That's cute, Sheryl! And lovely pearls too!

 

[jerin]

Me too lol!

The same was the case with me - it is so interesting just to llok at the single pearls so the whole picture was lost to me until I saw the other posts.

If I were a photographer it would be possible for me to keep hubby in the dark - unfortunately it is he that is doing the photographing so I can post on the forum - so if he would like to he would be able to see just how many strands I have - luckily he has not mentioned it so far...

 

[Cathybear]

Better just to keep quiet and he will think it's normal to have lots of pearls! lol

 

[pearlescence]

..but it is normal

 

[Nerida]

Cathy - you can always put the cost of your own purchases down to marketing & advertising - seems to work for me - I think I keep my husband in the dark, but seriously I think they are probably all very aware of how many pearls we have!!

And yes, Wendy, you are right, it is normal!

 

[Cathybear]

My husband is an accountant.. his motto: "don't keep the merchandise"
How silly is THAT!!! I ignore him! lol
Some pearls speak to me so how can I let them go?

Thanks everyone! Her name is, Pearl (of course). Remember, I just got the pearl bug this spring. There is very little in the picture that is mine to keep, mostly they are mine to sell, with the object being to earn more to keep. I just dropped my daughter off at college, so the keeping part is a little farther in the distance, ouch. I am in NYC and with some help from my PG friends will add to the pile this week. That will also help offset my costs for being here, since it will also be a buying trip. I also have some other things up my sleeve, and hope to have my website refilled from the summer's big sell out in Michigan. Maybe I'll have to give my avatar a friend! Anyone else for pearl pictures instead of pictures of pearls?
