Got off a little early. Took my broken necklace to the local, art jewelers who fixed it nearly eight years ago. Fantasized about getting a little something pretty there, but it's all beyond my ability to rationalize. Fixing what I have is enough, silver and beautiful. Enough. One day, maybe, I can have a huge splurge, perhaps when I retire. When I say huge... I'm not talking a month's wages. Never wanted an "engagement" ring like that. No lover of gold or diamonds. But good design? Perhaps a nice opal? That level of luxury. Less now than ever, but the attraction to beauty remains. Not so important, but, maybe, just a little over the line of practicality, would be nice?

no, it is important. beauty in our lives, whatever form it takes, is very important. not expense, not luxury, but beauty.
nice bowls!
A heap of bowls with memories of where they were found and of good food eaten ? I've got one too ... A more lasting pleasure than twinkly things .
pc,
I do have a houseful of beautiful, which makes it ok.
S&S,
A little gleaming, though.
Imagine the racket you could make with a couple of wooden spoons and all those steel bowls!
Maybe you could get something beautiful AND practical. Copper cooking pans, maybe?
Nimble,
Yes, but I'd hate to frighten the cats that much.
Cat,
Wearable art is so appealing for me. And this jeweler's shop has been around forever, with really original designs. Always thought... someday, you know?
of course you do, and lovingly chosen over the years which beats one-stop-shopping some people do. but something lovely around your neck is a different thing altogether - IF it strikes your fancy, and it seems to have done exactly that.
