They shone, clear like flowers undone

For the first time, now for the first time seen.

                         Boy, was it ever hot and humid today! All these layers were most

unnecessary, but after getting dressed I was steadfast in wearing

this outfit (such a lousy idea). So, due to my stubbornness, I sweated

profusely all day. Now that I've painted you a pretty picture of my day...

Lately I've been seeing people rock vests with dresses and I really

like the look of it. My pining has put me in a conundrum however, for

I don't own any vests and I have yet to come across one that suits my

desires. Hah, that's the trouble with thrifting sometimes (or always);

it's a lot of searching and hunting, often through junk, to find the gold.

Then again, that is half the fun. So until I come across a vest that suits

my desires I'll have to make due with what I've got. I rummaged

through my closet and found this; I think it suffices, for now.

I'm excited to show off my latest DIY jewelry project: the leaf bracelet.

Being the hoarder that I am (I prefer to say landfill reducer) I have

a bunch of unwanted jewelry just sitting in my craft box, including

these large leaf tiered earrings. I'm big into studs and had no use for

these, so I took them apart and one of the things I created was this 

bracelet. The leaf only had a hole in one end of it so I had to create a

hole in the other end. I have jewelry bits lying around so I created a

band a finished it off with a lobster claw. I think this has to be, by far, 

my favourite DIY jewelry project to date, I mean you probably

thought the DIY project was the beaded bracelets, nuh-uh! (Yes, I

proudly patted myself on the back after this one)
