January 18, 2010: Simplicity?

As I was thinking of simplicity and the simple things in life, I had difficulty thinking of something to photograph that would enable me to write about it. I settled on this piece of jewelry.
I love brooches. I wear them on the lapel of my blazers. Brooches are probably my favoite piece of jewelry. This one is extra special as it is the first Mother's Day gift I ever received. The diamond represents my birthday month, my husband's is emerald, and my son's is aquamarine. All set in the tree of life....family tree. Something so simple but yet so meaningful. I am blessed with a creative thoughtful husband who understands me.
A lovely sentiment and a lovely picture! I love brooches too! I have a few very special pieces that belonged to both my grandmothers. They are the one piece of jewlery that can be used from generation to generation!
ReplyDeleteThanks yo....I inherited a couple of my grandmother's brooches but don't wear them often. I need to take them in and have the clasps repaired. I agree they never go out of fashion from generation to generation.
