five

I can't believe I have missed 5 weeks worth of jewelry pictures to upload! Between getting engaged :), my friend Meredith's upcoming nuptials, new babies coming, getting a new position at work, birthdays, trips, and a million other things in between I have not made time!  The time sure does fly!  Its hard to believe Nanny has been gone for 6 months.  There has not been one week missed in our jewelry adventure.  In fact, most days we both wear one of her pieces and I imagine it will always be like that.  It just seems like we have always gotten dressed wondering which piece will look best...or more likely- desperately trying to find an outfit to go with a certain piece we are dying to wear.  A co-worker of mine commented that he noticed the picture of my grandmother I have on my cell phone and that he thought I looked just like her.  I have to say, the more pictures I get of Staishy the more she reminds me of her.  What classic beauties!

I wish I could pick a favorite of Staishy's picks but they are all absolutely lovely!  I think I may be partial to the silver chain because it was classic Nanny- especially with that top!  The multi colored stone necklace is so pretty too and Staishy said her skirt matched!  I love the autumn colors.  In the third picture Staishy is wearing a white bead necklace that I think may have come from Hawaii.  I think they are sort of a formal Hawaiian bead necklace but I could be making that up.  Either way, they are absolutely beautiful!  Nanny's pin and necklace combo are so fun!  The simple gold chain was classic Nanny and then for that statement piece!  :) Staishy said she had so many compliments on it.  Last week Staishy wore Nanny's blueish-grey pearl and silver earrings with her caged pearl necklace.  I have a white pearl version of this that I can't wait to wear.  Such a neat take on the classic pearls.  Staishy said she wore these for a presentation which I have no doubt when perfectly! :)

One of my favorites that I wore has to be this bling ring of Nanny's- I believe it is a smokey quartz.  Beautiful!  I couldn't help but stare at it!  Another fun piece is this black bead necklace.  I know its just a costume piece but I have worn it so many times.  Sometimes I just need a little something extra and this necklace works perfectly for it!  I absolutely loved Nanny's burgundy bead necklace.  I loved the way the beads were strung-they were sort of snake-like and heavy.  The quality of these pieces are amazing considering their age.  I felt so pretty in them.  :)  I have been so excited to show off some of Nanny's pearls!  Staishy was so sweet to let me have so many sets of them.  I have worn them a couple of times but haven't been able to get a good picture.  I put these on for a job interview and immediately felt a hundred times classier and I felt better knowing I had a little piece of something familiar.  They must have been lucky because I got the job!  For Halloween week I wore Nanny's ship earrings.  I wasn't quite sure when I would pull these off but it came to me that these would be so fun for this occasion.  I really must get some new locations to take pictures.  This makes it seem like I only hang out in my living room, bathroom, or the car.  Well...this is pretty much the case hehe.  Next weekend is Meredith's wedding and I will be wearing a cobalt blue bridesmaid's dress.  We are wearing gold jewelry and I have had months to plan which piece to wear but have yet to make a decision!  I will be posting my selection next Sunday!
