The lucky girl's birthstone is amethyst, hence the purple Swarovski crystals! I adore this cross. It is such a gorgeous piece of sterling silver. Her mom requested a matching bracelet too. The little crosses are so sweet!
My wegilia has pretty little flowers!
I have 4 of these which I bought through the mail 3 seasons ago and they are flourishing. Still clearly babies though! I originally had 5 but after attempting to move one, it died. :( I am a huge fan of variegated leaves which is why I needed these plants!
Some of my irises have opened!!!
I have a wondeful old neighbor who is quite a gardener. He is overwhelmed with irises and lilies and gave me tons of bulbs last summer which I planted. It is much more special when someone gives you flowers from their garden and then you get to enjoy them.
Remember last week's bouquet? The lilies opened up beautifully and took over!!!
Don't forget to enter the pearl earring giveaway in the post below! The lucky winner will be drawn Sunday 6/5/11. Link here.
New this week is a red agate and carnelian necklace.
I have always loved the look of striped agate! This is available in my shop!
I have to sign off with this picture of my housemates. They are never looking at the camera at the same time!!! Love the scary eyes!!!
Thank you for reading! ~Val

Your irises are lovely! They are may favorite flower :) I had a really warm week and mine bloomed about a month early (and all completely opened in 3 days when I normally get two week's worth).
ReplyDeleteI love your housemates. Mine just moves as soon as I go to hit the button on the camera... so I have a lot of blurry shots :)
Your jewelries are beautiful as always ...Beautiful flowers too!
ReplyDeleteKisses,

Everything is so beautiful, Val. That rosary is simply gorgeous. <3 Your flowers, too! Don't think I've seen such gorgeous irises before---you should be so proud! I hope lots of butterflies will be visiting you and your lovely blooms. ^__^ (Love your kitties, too. Give them snuggles for me!)
