y2kitty,
Welcome! Lovely choices in pearls! They are beautiful on you! And we didn't even have to beg for the neck shot! lol I love that leverback earring finding you have on the silver Tahitian baroques.
The living room in my old apartment had 20 (or was it 30?) foot ceilings and their were windows on all 4 sides above the 10 foot mark. I used to get the best pictures there because there was so much light yet none of it was direct. These pictures are from when I lived there. I have some other stuff, but I struggle to get good pictures. Maybe I should go knock on the door of my old place and ask to use the living room for 10 minutes.
I love your neck shot. Is your Tin Cup 16 inches? Are you pleased with how it lays on your neck? I've been contemplating a similar purchase but unsure whether I want 16" or 18". It looks lovely on you.
