I had my picture taken by a co-worker.  My office contains boring backdrops and bad lighting* and asking a co-worker to take a picture of you is... awkward, to say the least.  So thanks, co-worker, for helping me out through all the awkwardness.  And sorry, readers, for having to look at this so-so picture.  I tried to hide it’s faults jazz it up with Picnik.

I really wanted to show off my newly purchased ring.  Last week I attended Shecky's Girls Night Out and John Clayborn was the gem of the show.  (No pun intended.)  His work is well, his work, for starters, and it is beautiful.  I love how organic the jewelry is, he lets the stone's beauty shine through and no two pieces are identical.  I don't know about you, but one-of-a-kind jewelry is my favorite kind of jewelry!  Most of his pieces are a little on the pricey side, but you can pick up a ring from his "Colors" collection for $20.

* To be fair, the boring backdrops and bad lighting are only on this particular floor while using a camera-phone.  The foyer of my building is GORGEOUS!
