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!
