I
noticed that I did not have a snowflake obsidian eyeglass chain in my shop with
gold accents (only the silver). This is one of my more popular selling stones.
I do wonder if the people who name some gemstones are doing drugs when they
come up with the names. I have yet to see any “snowflakes” in this stone! Available at Miss Val’s Creations.
Boston
Boston
is such a great city. Here are some random photos from the last couple of times
Jim and I went into the city.
This
macaroni was street art placed in front of Quincy Market. Who
doesn’t love mac n cheese?
This
covered walkway is along the harbor. It is a great place to sit out and watch
the action, listen to street musicians, etc.
This
is the Old State House full of history. It was built in 1713 and is now a
museum.
Behind
this fountain in the Boston Public Garden is the new State House which is in use today.
This
photo was taken from the Garden. This is where super rich Bostonians live (the
Beacon Hill neighborhood). A few of the former residents of that neighborhood
include Louisa May Alcott, Robert Frost, and Senator John Kerry. The water
gushing off to the side is from a water park in the Garden for the kids to play
in!
I
just love the architecture of the brownstones. Many date back to the 1800s.

I
love the windows on this structure that look like portals on a cruise ship!

This
temple is beautiful. It looks out of place but that makes it even more
interesting to look at!
What
is a city without pigeons? Yup, they are
everywhere.
Enjoy
your weekend! We are expecting rain but that is ok because Jim and I are
celebrating our 2 year anniversary! Our first date was October 2, 2010. It has
been a wonderful 2 years and we will be happy just staying in watching movies,
cooking, enjoying wine and great conversation.
Dates do not get better than that. I couldn't ask for a better man!!! J ~Val
Bom dia! que demais haha

e bom fim de semana
Funny name but beautiful stone! Hope you have a lovely anniversary weekend :D
ReplyDeleteHi Val,
ReplyDeleteHumm I'm with you on the naming part. The eye glasses holder is very pretty. I almost went to Boston when I was in MA a few years ago, but went to Plymoth instead. I enjoy looking at the pictures of you and Jim's outings. Have a wonderful anniversary this weekend.

Ha! snowflakes in these stones - too funny. I have some of this stone is a large flat shape and it does look like it. But the rounds must not show up as much. Lovely walk through Boston. I also like when I see old, out of place buildings in amongst the skyscrapers ... looks strange, but with a story to tell.
ReplyDeleteGood to note! I have only worked with this stone in round beads so its name always baffled me. :P
DeleteHi Val!
ReplyDelete"snowflakes" is indeed an unusual description for this marbled bead! I get that with fabric names a lot ;-)
Boston looks like a great city with plenty of historical buildings!
Have a great weekend,
Duni
p.s. not sure the b&b pudding will work with gluten free bread, since it requires a soft type of bread...
Hi Duni, Thank you for the tip. I will not be trying this with the gluten free bread! I can only imagine how funny some fabric names can be!!! ~Val
DeleteI have not been to Boston in years, It's nice to see photos of it again. I love all the old buildings and architecture. Your eyeglass chain with the obsidian beads is very cool.

Just to let you know Val, some of my snowflake obsidian have snowflakes on them ;o) Maybe I will try to take a picture for you ;o) Love your Boston photos ;o) Take Care ;o)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Stacy!!!! I would love to see a pic of the obsidian with actual "snowflakes" on them. :)
DeleteLOL! I wondered why you mentioned snowflakes for the name of the piece! That's too funny about the name...and namer...of the stone :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Have a great time celebrating this weekend :)
happy anniversary...looks and sounds like a wonderful trip...good for you!
ReplyDeletethat is a gorgeous chain..it is black, snow is white. funny!
Happy 2 year anniversary! Hope the stay at home date was fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the blook of those brownstone buildings.
Hi Val, I often wonder the same thing with paint colors, lol. The names often crack me up. Your chain is pretty....I can see the snow falling now or not. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Boston, I used to live there and have many wonderful memories. Boston is where I met Chris as well, which will always be the most important meeting of my life. Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures of the city.
Enjoy your week.

Hi Val,
ReplyDeleteThe eyeglass chain is so pretty!
I love Boston and seeing those pictures reminds me that I have not been there in quite awhile.
"Happy Anniversary" to you and your husband!

It does look a little frosted! Beautiful stones, at any rate, that make for a lovely accessory. Boston is wonderful too; and yep -- I just had mac n cheese last night!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I wonder about the snowflakes too!! :-) The gold beads are a wonderful accent.
ReplyDeleteI really love visiting Boston. Big city, yet small enough to feel at home. I will actually be traveling there next weekend for Parent's Weekend at my son's college. So looking forward to it.
I wish you and Jim a very, very Happy Anniversary!!
xo.
Happy Anniversary to you and Jim! I'm so happy for you guys. Boston is also on the list of places that Mr. A and I want to visit.
