too much pretty

Okay. So this girl walks into Boheme yesterday and she is wearing the most beautiful necklace. I mean, I literally cannot stop staring at her neck and I can feel her getting uncomfortable. Finally, I say, “I’m sorry. But your necklace is so beautiful, so unusual. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Can I ask where you got it?”

And she told me about her friend, Ananda Khalsa, who makes the most gorgeous jewelry.

See what I mean?

She paints teeny tiny water color paintings — doesn’t use a magnifying glass or anything to do so, apparently — and also does her own metalwork. I want one of these — so desperately. I say that a lot on all these purty things, but I am dead serious. I am going to save all my grimy coffee pennies and get me one because I am in love with them. I want to make out with them during a boring movie right now. I want to watch sunsets and go on hot air balloon rides with them. And then I want to just lie there and watch them while they sleep, snoring their gentle watercolor snores.

So happy.

So very gorgeous.

  1. Oh tracey. Those are so breathtaking.

    I love miniature things anyway … but those are just GORGEOUS.

    Do you think if I paired one of those necklaces with a plunging neckline I would finally get the response I desire??

    No, just kidding – they are totally beautiful.

  2. I thought you would all love them! AND I had a sneaking suspicion that dear Nightfly would say he’d get one for his fiancee. He’s that kinda guy. 😉 I think she’d love it, NF.

    sheila — hahahaha! most definitely. maybe, though, she could just simply paint some appropriate little hints in the frame. you know, for those certain slow-ies.
