Druzy Love
Inspired by mother nature... and beautiful druzy-ness... a new treasury! :)
And so to make my own pair of earrings similar to those above... I just purchased a strand of these lovlies on Etsy. Yesssss...
I've loved the beauty of a druzy since I was a little kid. I remember in elementary school in Colorado taking a field-trip to Keystone Science Center -- an outdoor science camp. We explored the wilderness, and I bought my mom an amethyst druzy stone in the gift shop. She kept it for years and years, and now it's floating around our condo somewhere, along with my other collections of crystals and druzies.
A fond memory... I think that was the first thing I ever bought for my mom on my own accord. I'm still drawn to the natural sparkliness of druzies, and they also remind me of her.

Favorite-ness...
I heart Etsy. It's been one of my favorite web sites to play on since my bicycle crash, and today I used credit to pick up a couple cute things I've discovered during my time off...
This "Made in Oregon" t-shirt is so adorable...
and added bonus -- there's glitter involved, here. :)
And how cute are these rings? Peanut butter and jelly...
found while looking at "grape" items on Etsy for that treasury in my last post.
In the meantime, I've been reading quite a bit... and trying to get out of the house a little more, too. Squires pointed me to an awesome web site... www.paperbackswap.com -- I've joined and been mailing out books and getting free books back in the mail. It's awesome! This week I received'Wuthering Heights' and 'The Other Boleyn Girl'... and shipped out 5 books in the last week, too. Still to come -- 'The Devil Wears Prada'. In addition to that, Patricia sent me a few books.. and Jen also sent a trilogy of fun Chelsea Handler books. This morning I finished 'Are You There Vodka, It's Me Chelsea'. Fun times. Now I'm working on 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo'.
Speaking of booze, tonight I had my first dose of hard-A since crashing my bike into a cement pillar -- a lovely margarita at a random Mexican joint on 82nd. Yummm... and yay!
Now if I could just get a decent night's sleep. It's been insomnia central for me... first from coming off the narcotics, now seemingly from resting so much, not being drugged up, and being uncomfortable. What a fabulous combination! Hopefully I'll be able to get some good rest before I plan on heading back to work Monday!
In the meantime today I was a vertically-moving machine on my crutches. Woot!
Goodnight-ery...

Color me *P*U*R*P*L*E*
Got some good news today... can start using crutches immediately (as I can handle, anyway), and can start putting weight and attempting to walk starting October 1st. Yippeeee! I'm also planning to go back to work (starting part-time) next week... Good day!
So, I made a treasury... enjoy!
Happy Wednesday evening... <3

What a lovely day...
...for a rainy wedding! Despite the dreary weather, Ben and Teresa's wedding ceremony proceeded outdoors yesterday afternoon at Skamania Lodge in Stevenson, Washington. The bride was stunning, the groom was stoked, and the guests were soaked!
Enjoying the view from my fab wheelchair...
The happy, newly-married couple!
(Note the photographer dashing around with his umbrella, too...)
An indoor reception... :)
...and a wonderful time had by all!

I'm loving...
...Jamie Joseph jewelry right now! I first discovered this designer when my good friend Preston bought his girlfriend, (and one of my best friends), Melissa a Jamie Joseph ring this year. Uhh, jealous much? :) How cute... and note white cocktail ring on her right hand...
