A Most Unexpected Find

It was a rainy Saturday. Allan was scheduled to shoot pictures at a Mother's day event at John's Pass. I was off and had just gotten back home from a CCW Mass and brunch at our church. Thought I'd go have a look around the shop while Allan took his pictures. Didn't really need anything. But I do love the hunt!

I looked at Vera Bradley, Brighton, and John Medeiros. I visited with my favorite sales people. I had a hot dog.

I wandered over to look in a Pandora display case and saw a simple silver bangle bracelet with a single sparkly bead. It was perfect. The saleslady told me that a china jewel box was included in the price. I had never even considered a Pandora purchase before and now I was kind of excited about it.

I can purchase additional beads and charms to wear on this bracelet at a later date. Or just enjoy the simple charm as is. But I do love having it and glad I started with a complete piece and not looking at the millions of beads and charms!

Also kind of nice having this outing documented with pictures taken by my husband. He gets just as excited by these purchases as I do. Now he can add to my collection, too.

One last picture! This ring wasn't purchased from The Bronze Lady. But it is somewhat new. And Allan loves posing me with it on. We had a custom ring made for my original diamond from my engagement ring. Gail, from our church, met with me several months ago and took on this project to find a perfect design and then got it made. I am SO happy with the results. Prettiest ring ever! Don't you agree?
