It's Celebration Time!

Hello my fellow jewelry lovers! It is that time, once again, to delve into the mystery and intrigue that is: self adornment! Today is especially important in that it is the one day of each year that yours truly is celebrated! That is correct my faithful ones.... I have once again lived to see another birthday!

Since today is my special day, I shall celebrate by wearing uber nice jewelry. I think a matching set of earrings, necklace and bracelet will do the trick and I know just the ensemble... I have a cute set made out of grey Czech glass cat face beads (how appropriate) and pink clear beads. I have been saving this for a rainy day.... and I think my birthday definitely fits that bill.... not that I mind getting older, but society dictates that women must fear aging... and I am never one to disappoint society!

Along with wearing my special jewelry, it is tradition in my clan to have a special birthday dinner. As a youngun, that meant that Mom would cook the dish of my choice... as an adult (so I'm told) it means going out to a restaurant of my choice. I haven't decided yet... last year it was sushi, so I don't think that will work this year. Perhaps Italian? Probably not Mexican.... I can get that any old day here in San Antonio.... well, whatever I choose, I am sure to have fun, because that's what kitties do!

Now, my possums.... it is time for our favorite part of the blog!!! How do you celebrate your birthday? What jewelry do you save for that most special of all days and to make it more fun.... what are your traditions in regards to dinner, gifts and entertainment? I am looking forward to your comments.... I am sure there is someone out there who will surprise the pants off of me!(figuratively, that is)

Until we share again,
Kittie :-D

Where Are the Stories????

Okay everyone,

In my first installment, I told the story of my love for jewelry. Now I want someone else to contribute. Please provide a comment on how you started being a jewelry lover! It doesn't have to be long.... just a sentence or two or more if you are so inclined!
I had some very kind words of encouragement from you, but now I want to hear more!!! Try asking yourself some of these questions:

1. What is it about jewelry that I love?

2. How long have I been wearing jewelry?

3. Can I pass a jewelry store without looking?

4. Can I go ONE day without wearing some form of jewelry?

That should get the ideas flowing... come on.... let's hear it!!

Until next time!!
Katie :-)

For The Love of Jewelry

Welcome everyone!

I have decided to take the first step and create my own blog. I am serious about jewelry and I want to share that with others who are, as well.

I can't remember when it started, but for as long as I can recall, I have had a fascination with jewelry. I used to dig through my mother's costume jewelry as if it were a pirate's treasure chest. I would try it on and generally admire the sparkle and shine.

As I grew older, I was able to obtain my own jewelry... grandma would buy me cheap rings or I would go to neighborhood garage sales and find cast offs. I remember my first "real" necklace... it was a birthday gift... a sterling silver chain with a cute filigree pendant and a genuine pearl in the center. I thought I was a princess! I still have that necklace someplace, I just don't know where...

Now I create my own jewelry... all self taught. I am nowhere near completed with my training, however. I want to keep expanding my skills because there is so much to learn!

For anyone else out there who feels the same way that I do, please let your voice be heard! Blog, comment, chat, or whatever...

So long for now,
Katie aka Kittie
