Pomp and Circumstance

It's been graduation season around my neck of the woods!

First we had high school graduation for the k-12 school I work at and my older daughter, Laur, attends. (actually it is past tense, 'worked at' as I am now a full time jewelry designer! woo hoo!)

Laur found the greatest dress on line and asked me to design a headband for her to wear with it. It turned out really cute and as a result I now have my first hair accessory in my shop!




















Next we had my niece Sadie's high school graduation.


Sadie is now off to Europe to travel so we gave her cold hard cash. It was about $1,000,000,000 if I remember correctly. (She better send a thank you note.)

My nieces LOVE my jewelry so I always give them a piece for gift giving occasions. Okay, they actually have never said they LOVE it or LIKE it ,but they always smile politely and say thank you. (Look, some crazy aunts give underwear or collectible cat figurines, so they should just count their lucky stars!)

So I gave Sadie one of my "Your Fortune Teller" necklaces so she can now plan out her future by seeing what her future husband's occupation will be and how many children she will have.

The girls were having a good time playing with it. At one point my niece, Jo, yelled out "Who has the husband machine?"

Well, that certainly got the wheels in my head turning. My soldering iron is preheating as we speak...
