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...
