Love and People



This is a beautiful video. I wish I could make something like this.
Maybe one day. lol

Today I visited the Lia Sophia Catalogue looking for some jewelry items.
Once in a while I like to treat myself. lol

Well I found this beautiful Solace Ring made with Abalon.
I love delicate looking things like cameos and this ring was very appealing to me.
I thought it would be very expensive but when I looked it up, it was only 58.00 dollars. Totally reasonable.

I think this company has come a long way and is really beginning to know its' customers likes and dislikes. Worth taking a look see.

And while we are on jewelry, after the Bin Laden demise, Obama and his wife are invited to spend time at Buckingham Palace.

I guess it might be the Queens way of thanking Obama for maybe warning them about what was happening in Pakistan thus postponing William and Kates' Honeymoon.

It was very nice of her, considering Prince Philip is known for his quotes and gaffes which might not be very considerate or flattering or exactly polite lol Joking of course.
