grandma's jewelry box

These are a few pieces from my grandma's endless collection of jewelry. Most of them have been around longer than me. I finally decided to take some photos of them while I was staying at her house this summer. We crashed at her house on route to vermont from NYC. (More on that later.) She gave me the necklace from Afghanistan and the turquoise earrings, which I can't wait to wear. 

stuck in a rut.

I never know what to do with myself in the beginning of summer. All the freedom is a little overwhelming. But I'm leaving for NYC tomorrow, so that'll keep me busy. We're staying for more that two days this time, so I'm getting ready for some major shopping. And museums. And plays. And food... I've been looking for vintage shops online, and trying to figure out what to pack. Always a challenge. My closet is about 12 times the size of my suitcase, and I want to make sure no one feels left out. And I have to make room for everything I'm going to buy... I can guarantee you, I'll be coming back broke. But with pictures! Finally found my camera charger, so I'm ready to go. Hopefully I'll be able to post while I'm there but we're not bringing a computer so that may prove to be quite a challenge.
