Thank you! We had between 6-10 inches of rain in the area yesterday and it's raining again today. Major flooding going on here.CatMom, oooh, your GSS pearls and diamonds are lovely! And so, so perfect for a sunshine-y pick me up during dreary weather.
Love the Koa beads and Tahitians together jeg. What a great rope.Thanks so much, CatMom and lary007!!
SurfnSci, your colorful Tahitians are gorgeous! I like the unique design you created with your pendant, too!
CatMom, thank you for posting your sunshine! Your pearls and gems and outfit brought a bright sunny smile!
BWeaves, your dad must love seeing you enjoying your mom’s pearls. Pretty layers of white!
I love watching local TV when I’m in Hawaii because they wear pearls and shells and flowers. All my favorite things. For years, the pearls of choice have been very dark Tahitians. I see lots of dark studs on people at work. On this trip, I noticed several people at work wearing white studs. Too big for Akoya, so possibly SS but more likely FW because of the gloss. On one of the shows I was watching, a woman was wearing a strand of Koa beads with a section of Tahitians in the center. I decided I had to make myself a rope, so I bought a strand of Koa wood beads from a vendor at one of the farmer’s markets. I don’t have very many extra T’s left, so my section of T’s is not at all matched. I made it into a rope so I can display the section of T’s differently. Wearing it with a strand of silver blue T’s from PP, and a leather bracelet from SF that I added a T dangle to.
