I'm not jewelry obsessed, really I'm not. I don't even wear much jewelry these days, but I do like silver and turquoise, I always have. I'm sure most of you know that the 2010 Color of the Year is turquoise. I didn't know there was a "color of the year" until I did my post a few months back about my turquoise couches and someone was nice enough to share that info with me...but I am frequently a bit out of touch.
Just ask my kids :-)
In preparing this post, I thought I'd share this tidbit of info in case any of you are as uninformed as I was :-)
So for today's Friday's Pretties hosted by Joyce at I Love Pretty Little Things, I'm sharing a couple of pretty pieces of turquoise jewelry. The necklaces were made by my nephew Nathan and his wife Missy. Nathan finds and cuts the stones, and Missy adds the silver. They live in Arizona, which makes it a bit more convenient for finding the beautiful turquoise :-) My photos really don't do them justice. They are absolutely gorgeous!
The bracelet is an old favorite of mine, given to me by my friend's sweet mom.
Thank you for all of the birthday wishes for my little boys. You are all wonderful! Oh, and btw, for anyone who might remember and be wondering, the IRS said they are all our kids...again :-) Yeah!

That's interesting, just this week as I've been doing some scrapbooking, I made the announcement that my new favorite color is the shades of turquoise!

Hmmm, tuquoise is a fascinating color - i often see it in my dreams. And it makes other colors shine and glow. The indians say turquoise stones are healing for your lungs.

Do Nathan and Missy have a selling blog or website.
I love turquoise and silver. I have a few pieces I have had for years.
I can't believe if they were your kids in a different year that they would not still be your kids this year. Not to smart of the IRS.

ReplyDeleteJust beautiful!! I didn't know there was a color of the year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all of the beautiful jewelery.
Ooooh- such beautiful pieces, Marcia- I LOVE the cuff bracelet! I've always loved turquoise jewelry too, and since I only live a couple of hours from Cherokee, NC there has always been an abundance of Native American jewelry shops around here. (Which is wonderful! :)
ReplyDeleteThe color has always been a favorite of mine!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is some very pretty jewelry. That heart necklace is so beautiful! I always gravitate to heart necklaces. Not sure why?? I have quite a few!! Many were gifts, I guess they knew I loved hearts too!! :)
Have a beautiful weekend! Blessings to you,

Hey Margie.. so glad you stopped by.. You said in your comment that God had saved your marriage to .. did you and you husband separate or did you head strong like we did and get divorced..
ReplyDeleteHad we both slowed down enough to listen to God we probably wouldnt of divorced,but it was a battle of who could out do the other.. what a mess.. But God is Good and he specializes in Mess's and he cleaned us right up..
Well so glad you came by,, and nice chatting with you.. God bless you and your family.. cya soon
