Wellllll this one is over-loaded :)) Remember that image I had with the box of pearls????? That was just a portion of 'just pearls', no other stones, gold , or etc.......
I do not mean to sound bragging or brattey..Just stating a f a c t .....how may can you wear ? It takes me longer to choose my jewelry than my clothes I will put it that way-
I am lucky but too much of anything is glutteny IMHO ....

The wedding ring I thank You to wish for me...and I would be grateful for that my dear...I would trade it all for that one ring :))

Hello again dear Nicki..... I don't know for sure about this 'hostess ' job ending but I mostly know the trip to get there would not be very smart in the winter time...

About the 'jewelry bussiness '..... Yes it maybe true and it maybe online or just rent a place ... We certainly have the inventory and do need an outlet...My Mom has the inventory I should say-ha!!!

No I would not have any need to be a client --I am over-loaded in jewely as it is - ha!!! It has been very nice but you can only wear so much :))
I have no need for anymore for the rest of my life ---except for maybe a wedding ring ? This is just wishful dreaming -LOL!!!!

Thank You for your well wishes of 'no stress' my dear---I wish the same for YOU today and always -
Much Love, and hugsssss,
Michele~

Wonderful, close-in image, Michele. Reminds me of taffeta (darling). Do you remember "taffeta darling" -- it's a line from Young Frankenstein. But I digress -- very nice image, dear Michele.

Hi Michele!

Yes, we are both very busy, so it is a treat to be able to find even a little time away from work and pop into UF!

Don't work too hard though, hon. Get enough rest... I know I am on burn-out when I don't rest enough. (Which is most of the time... lol...)

Happy Days and Big Hugs~
Aniko :)

Ohhhh I will Survive my dearest Nickie....I am just complaining as I don't work so much normally ---it's kind of a test for me :))
I am almost done with this work ---I may turn back to jewelry ...It is more my pace and I do love it .... I did not want to commit to a bussiness BUT..... it would be wiser than this because 'you are right ' I am NOT 20 yrs. anymore -LOL !!!!!!
I was happy to keep the pace up for this long tho---knowing I can >> makes me feel good...just to know ---Silly I know---but I will end it in the middle of Sept as I have to cross a steep mountain and it cost lots of gas so it would be futil to keep it up in many ways :))

Have some Fun at the festival my dear as it sounds very nice and a good place for some pictures too :)))

I wish You a wonderful evening and Happiness Always !!!
See You soon ,
Hug, Michele~

Nicki is right I am not 20 yrs. old anymore & most of the girls I work with are barly in their twentys :(( soooooo I can be proud I have lasted as long as I have at least ...haha!!!!

Hi Aniko !!!! Always a pleasure to hear from YOU !

I know You have been very busy so this means all the more to me your time to comment...

I promise to be by your portfolio asap...I have taken a new job which is killing me ---Just being a hostess in a very popular restauant but there is much more to it than when I accepted the position ......but then again there is much more money involved too:))
Anyway with Labor day Week-end I have really gotten behind..... I know that you understand this as YOU are one to always have your hands into everything :)))
I miss You and thank You and can't wait to view your images again !!!!!
Happy Days my dear , and many 'thank-you's'

Hugsssssss,
Michele~

Hi Liz !!!

Thank You so much for commenting on my image and your great support ...I appreciate it and I value it ....I am working lately nights in a restaurant and so this is my story of being behind in my UF comments and critiques...especiallly this last week-end being Labor Day in the USA....busy, busy, busier than I wanted to be :))

I can't wait for it to be over honestly and if not I am looking for an old folkes lounge where the pace is slow ....as this is insane work with young kids....LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today will be my last day and then a break - Whew !!!!!!
Anyway I appreciate your comments and your time ....and I miss you :))
Cheers,
Michele~

It's a very nice flower Michele, the details of the petals viewed perfectly, nice also the lighting here that cames from an angle - direction that helps a lot these details...good one.
Hugs!
