48/365: Rings, vol. 1

Here is antoher one of those things that makes me happy: Rings!!!

I love them!  I buy them, I put them on my Christmas list, I love to browse them in shops, in department stores, in catalogs and on-line.  They just make me smile!  In college, if there was a vendor selling rings in the union, chances were pretty good that I would stop to try on as many as I had time for and I would usually buy one!  Fun!  I still enjoy stopping by one of those black, velvet lined boxes filled with sterling silver circles of happy.  If you've ever been to a craft show with me or an art fair, you have probably had your patience tested while I stop to get a look and a fast try on, I love it! (And, thanks by the way, for not killing me for this obsession and for continuing to go to these events with me--you know who you are!)

My latest rings just arrived in the mail today--I am SOOOOO excited about them, I bought them on etsy.com, a website that serves as a shop for vendors of handmade items, kind of  like an arts and crafts fair on line!  I can browse at any hour of the day!
I realize now that I see it, my skin really needs some lotion!  Yikes! So much for my dream of being a ring model! :)

These were on my Christmas list this year and I really spent a lot of time looking on line for them until I found exactly what I wanted.  The stones in the ring are our birthstones, and there are the thinnest simplest little spacer rings in between them.  Gorgeous! I am certain I will probably bend them and I am praying I won't get them caught on anything or have one fall off and get lost, but I'll be careful! I was thrilled when I got the email that they had shipped and I stopped at the mailbox this evening, hoping to find they had arrived.  It is so nice to find and receive just what you wanted, I feel very lucky...
