It doesn’t happen all the time but about once a week now, I am regularly seeing my older self. Sometimes it’s an alarming realization that I haven’t had Botox in a year and the wrinkles have reappeared 10 fold. Other times it’s a glance in the mirror as I step out of the shower and see my mother looking back at me. Last week it was watching my Dad climb down from the combine with a gait much more like Grandpa’s than I wanted to acknowledge.
I don’t want it to sound like I am just trying to look 20 FOREVER or that I want my relatives to be ageless along with me, this runs deeper than that. This is about facing the fact that we all have expiration dates.
I remember telling someone back when I was a wise old teenager that I didn’t feel any older than when I was 12….. oddly enough inside my brain it’s not much different, but the mirror and my loved ones show otherwise.
So I will post this hideous picture that made me realize I may be too old to sport a pony tail. The moral of the story simply being, it helped me realize I am old….. and even though I like to post the pretty pix, these might be more useful to us all.

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve gotten back from Las Vegas which played host to THREE major jewelry market shows (My first adventure as a “buyer” at market). I’m just now writing about it because I was enjoying keeping that little experience all to myself. The thing is I keep seeing things I want to comment on from “Market” and you guys know nothing about it. Here’s an example.
Tonight, I’m watching “America’s Got Talent.” It’s not a must-see TV event, I just have nothing better to do. What caught my eye…Sharon Osbourne‘s EARRINGS!! Seriously, I’m like, those look just like the little ditties I tried on in Vegas, (and took pictures of!) 
I LOVED them, but can’t remember how much they are. I don’t think we bought them but I wish we would have. They had another super cool pair that had black and chocolate diamonds too, but I must admit the all diamond had more ZIP. They were three dimensional which really made them stand out. Dang, might have to find me a pair after all, I mean if Sharon’s rocking them, the rest of us should be too, RIGHT?!
Did I mention I saw Candy Spelling at one of the shows? I didn’t want to be too “stalkerish” so I took a picture from like….WAY FAR AWAY, but I thought I’d share it with you anyway. Can you see her? Trust me, it’s Tori’s Mom. She’s the one with her back to us, shopping. I know it could be anyone!
Here’s a really good picture…..It’s jewelry designer, Steven Lagos. He was one of the nicest designers we met, and I picked out a few of his new collection for myself! I’m dying for them to come in I want to see if the jewelry was that good that I had to have it, or whether Lagos was so nice I wanted to support him. Either way, I’m going to sporting his stuff like a billboard soon, and chances are you will too. Oh and I found other stuff for you too, more when it all comes in!!
