lists...links and things that make me dizzy.

In life there are many things I am absolutely crazy about.

Like that man on the right

and incredible films like this one

I also have a weakness for manolo blahnik shoes but then who doesn't?

This is one of my favorite books in the entire world.

and as for food... a good creme brulee is also nice to lust after. Trust me.

So in my little wanderings of things I adore I began to look at jewelry.
I am a little spoiled in that area. My grandmother had great jewelry, My mother has fantastic jewelry and I have some fairly nice stuff as well.
I do like a little costume jewelry, but gosh darn...a nice stone in a beautiful setting is nothing to cough lightly at.

I am not keen on a lot of modern pieces. They seem cold and lacking personality.
So my heart is often lost to estate jewelry.

So let me share with the great world, some pretty things I found.

I saw this and immediately thought of my Grandmother. Her name was Ruby, and somehow I think these rubies would have suited her.

I then saw a very very nice piece of jewelry. My mother's birthstone is sapphire and I saw the ring to end all rings in terms of size. Boy what a rock!

this one kinda wowed me.

Geez, I am so easy.

To end the evening let's look at some more food.
Nothing finer then some rich coffee and sacher torte

no brain power

So far I have had tea and toast.

Then grocery shopping.

For now I listen to Burt Bacharach and try not to let my PMS take over the planet.
I think I am going to need quite a bit of wine and chocolate. Large large quantities.

An idea

Here is an idea that I want to throw out to the Great American Public.
Let's have a little dignity tomorrow and not make it a huge deal.
Let those who lost someone, mourn in private.
Let's turn off the ALan Jackson songs.
Let's stop waving the flag.
Let's just take a deep breath and carry on with life.


And Mr. Bush. just don't.
