When he and his brother were born, I was in the hospital for ten days. Their father brought a lavish bouquet of exquisite roses- and a jade silk teddy, figuring I'd have had enough of hospital gowns. That didn't get worn for awhile; beautiful but impractical.

The aim of the review was to put together various pieces and see where the gaps were - earrings that had no necklace or bracelet partners, etc. Matching was not the goal. My tendency is to buy something lovely then get home and realize it doesn't fit with anything else. So this review - I even used a table in Word to record everything - was a big help. Now I know what to look for plus I was able to weed out a few things that hadn't been worn in years. <br /><br />And to your point about looking outside my comfort zone, I'm thinking of something sparkly...what next!LauraHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402103522466794364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-74939590360134775512016-02-09T08:57:08.036-05:002016-02-09T08:57:08.036-05:00Susan: For me, the hard things to get rid of were ...Susan: For me, the hard things to get rid of were the 'real' but not notably valuable pieces, like silver earrings and too-delicate necklaces made of semi-precious stones. Fortunately a friend mentioned that her church was having a special "elegant rummage sale" to fundraise for a childrens' breakfast program. I donated several shopping bags stuffed with little-worn items. (And for her help, I offered her the choice of an item she liked, and one for her daughter, too.)<br /><br />Maybe your church will have a similar event, or you may find a good place for them in a (true) charity store.<br /><br />All: Yes, we are overjoyed; thank you!<br /><br /> Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-82342426478588984282016-02-09T08:34:05.864-05:002016-02-09T08:34:05.864-05:00Bienvenue Émile!

Congratulations to his parents as well. <br /><br />I gave away some good quality 1980s costume jewellery some time back, cleaning out my jewellery box and a drawer. Don't regret it, for one thing because I was allergic to it! I took it to le Chaînon, and had an appointment with an employee there who knew the value of such things. (Le Chaînon funds a centre and a transition house for women in crisis). <br /><br />My taste would definitely tend towards the second, but not all the colours. Usually silver. lagatta à montréalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610410709900333230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-78915263074738573322016-02-09T08:22:14.649-05:002016-02-09T08:22:14.649-05:00Congratulations.

He is adorable. I know the family must be so happy. <br /><br />Today's jewelry message comes at a good time for me. We are readying ourselves to do a whole house reorganization (a la Marie Kondo) and my jewelry box will not be excluded from scrutiny. I can already thing of a number of things that are no longer right for me and will be going away. Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12756033682201519150noreply@blogger.com
