Big Pearl, little pearl



I’m a big fan of pearls. First of all, the pearl is my birthstone. Second, they’re just a timeless, classic piece of jewelry. Hubby gave me a strand of pearls and matching earrings for our anniversary and I wear them all the time. To work, special events, even with a T-shirt while doing laundry. Love them.

Recently, I came across jewelry designer Meg Carter via the fabulous blog, Summer is Verb. Meg is based in Alexandria, Virginia and she features several pearl pieces. I found out she was offering a special during October – buy one piece of jewelry, get another valued at $65 or less free, in honor of her birthday month. So, I quickly logged onto her site and ordered from the “Towne, by Meg Carter Designs” collection. I loved the fact that she featured a quote by Audrey Hepburn on the page (You had me at Audrey). So, I indulged (I know, it’s a compulsive addiction that must be treated – I will be shredding at least one credit card this evening) and purchased a pair of the “Big Pearl, little pearl” studs and then requested the “Big Pearl, little green" studs as my freebie.

They arrived yesterday, but because I didn’t open the front door last evening, I didn’t realize they were there. So, this morning as I’m rushing around the house getting ready, I found them on my front step. Yea! What a happy surprise to start the day off right!

So, if you like pearls, or you know someone special who loves to wear these darlings-of-the-sea, stop by Meg’s site. She really does great work.

It’s Thursday, kids – we’re almost there!
