I am laughing as I type. Your comment about wearing large necklaces… I am a person who loves simplicity in jewelry. Wearing huge necklaces was something my mom did. She loved being outlandish. And, if she was alive today she would love Heidi Daus. However, I do buy some of Heidi’s larger pieces. Some I have worn when visiting hubby and people do stop me when I wear them and asking where I found it. Hubby loves the Dazzling Duchess which looks huge, but is actually a simple display around the neck with flashes of color as it dances under the sunlight or a lamp that does the same thing. I admire Heidi’s artistry. Sometimes I just purchase a piece because of the artwork. Her rendition of Atlantic City brought back some of my memories when we used to visit the area in the middle of winter. One of my fondest memories was a return during the winter break and walking the boardwalk and being so cold, but kept on trekking and looking in the windows of the shops that were opened. We walked into one of those shops where I spotted a bear that was about 25-30″ tall and beautifully made. Fell in love with him, but thought it was rather expensive for that time of year, so walked out and decided it would be just a memory. Totally surprised the next morning when I found it next to me. I kept him up to a few years ago when I found someone in the family that loved him as much as I did. And now you know why I purchased that necklace. So, Taci, don’t be afraid to try something a little more outlandish. You might be surprised on how beautiful it looks on you. I never expected anyone to say anything. Totally surprised when they did.

Oodie, a big thank you for the Amber information. I love the lightness of the piece and was just a bit shocked about the packaging. I don’t know how you wear the large necklaces. My neck can’t take it. Maybe you all have stronger necks. Thanks again, it was very helpful!
Florida sounds lovely and i love your markets.

Sheba, hello! The dessert is lovely! Yes, I ‘m going to check on the Maddness. haha.

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening.

Hi and a good afternoon. Hmm….I see it’s still morning where you are. First, I like to thank you for the belated wishes. You really are not belated since I didn’t type anything until after. Our anniversary was real quiet. When hubby returns home it will be a complete opposite celebration. Getting ready for the visit. Oh, you all will be happy to know that as of yesterday I no longer can bring any food. Seems hubby has gained too much weight and needs to cut down. The only thing I can bring are soft veggies and fruit, and those need to be cut into bite size pieces. Hubby has a habit of putting everything in his mouth and then choking. He forgets that his esophagus is small. I have been told to feed him one piece at a time. It will be fun just to watch what he does or says.

On your amber. They do have a tendency to scratch because it is a resin made from trees that has become fossilized. The beauty of this is that the inside has many colors within that jumps out at you. Scratch marks on the inside and outside are quite common and actually, I believe, enhances the piece. I sometimes use those velvet bags that come with our jewelry from HSN comes in handy for jewelry pieces such as amber. I also purchase the Prestige Jewelry boxes that keep everything looking brand new. When I am on a trip whether by car or ship, I use bags that have pouches on the inside and two cords on the outside so you can easily bring those cords together so that nothing falls out. The center can be used for necklaces and bracelets, though some necklaces can fit into the pouches. HSN used to sell these . But in the last few years have not seen any, so have resorted to Amazon. These bags fit nicely in a carry on and will keep your pieces from getting pushed around. I hope this helps.

Enjoy your hike/walk today. Our temps have now climbed to 83 degrees with high humidity. No rain today, though that could change in a minute.

So pretty!! 🦋🦋
