I missed my 7th Day of Happy yesterday! It just kind of got away from me.

As I was packing my jewelry boxes yesterday, I was going through my jewelry. Packing my jewelry boxes is no small task, I have 5 of them. Picking through each piece and remembering the story behind it, whether sad or happy, was nice. Not to mention the lovely newer acquisitions from elegantdreams made me happy.

-There is the hematite crescent moon necklace that a lovely customer at the art store was wearing one day. I told her I liked it, and she gave it to me right there, even though she had just bought it at a trade show.

-The black seed pearl necklace that was made just for me by another customer at the art store. I need to restring it, because it is getting weak, but it is still one of my favorites.

-The red and black necklace and red rhinestone bracelet that was given to me on Valentines day by an exboyfriend. It was unexpected, and I hadn't realized how good at gift giving he was.

-My collar, made with love by ohno_jonathan_o. I don't wear it much anymore, but I need to.

-My grandfathers security guard badge. I don't know why I have it, but it is in his jewelry box, and I like to look at it often.

Then there are the boxes themselves.
-My grandfather's box. It simple and clean and masculine.
-My upright cherry wood box that mom got me 10 years ago or so. It's not really me anymore, but I still love it.
-My little box that was a gift from my friend in Gallup. I need to call her, because she now has a son 1 day younger than mine, and I have missed her!
-The beautiful silver plated box that my mom got me 2 years ago. It has a raised woodrose design.
-And last but not least, the one I bought from ~n~. It is an upright with a mirrored door that has an etched rose. We all know how I feel about roses.

Sorry, rambling is over now...

since you forgot yesterday you should make it up to us (me) by extending this deal for another week or so. =D

I think I will try to make it an almost every day thing. I may not post every day, but I will at least attempt to post more often about the happy things in my life!

did I ever tell you that one has a little bit of a story? i may not have...Kelly gave it to me, it was a little sad, but it cleaned up beautifully, Kelly is in the habit of finding things, so I have no idea where it came from, or who gave it up, only that one day, kelly shows up on the porch, and gives me this poor sad dirty little (well, medium large) jewelry box and tells me, i dont know if you want this, but it didnt look like it should be left out for the trash picker, it did not look like he was right, but with a little water, alot of pledge, and some rub and buff, he was.

That is an awesome story. Thank you for sharing it. It makes me love the box even more.
