This ring was my first winner in a jewelry design competition.
In 1996 it won first price in the Maine Jewelers Association Design Contest.
The center stone is a 8x16mm Brazilian Pink Tourmaline.
After 13 years of wear and tear, it is a little beat up but still looks good.
It is currently back in the shop for a good cleaning, re polishing and tender care in general.

A rainy day, a pressure headache for him, called into work for me. Not a good or bad day, really, just another quarantined day. Grateful for what we have while acknowledging that this is hard. Who's with me?
Yet another tilt shift.
The 2006 FA Community Shield was a football match played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on 13 August 2006 between the 2005–06 FA Premier League champions Chelsea and 2005–06 FA Cup winners Liverpool. Liverpool won the match 2–1, with goals coming from John Arne Riise and Peter Crouch. Chelsea's only goal was scored by their new signing Andriy Shevchenko.
The match was the last Community Shield to be played at the Millennium Stadium during the reconstruction of Wembley Stadium. 56,275 people attended the match, which was refereed by Martin Atkinson.
Two beautiful dark blooms.
The peony is the only genus in the flowering plant family Paeoniaceae.
They are native to Asia, Southern Europe and western North America but grow very well here too, Peonies are actually very easy to grow; once established they can tolerate drought and suffer from very few diseases.
Colours range from pure white through baby pinks and palest peaches to clear deep pink and darkest rich maroon. There is also a pale yellow but it is rare.
Peonies are only available between late May and early July, so get them while you can!
They are very thirsty flowers, so make sure you top up the vase or bowl.
The Greeks believed they could cure over 20 ailments and were found in every monastery garden.
Peonies have been cultivated for over 2,000 years, more for their medicinal qualities than for ornament.
The Japanese protect the earliest peony blooms from the snow by protecting them with individual small thatched shelters.
Some geishas used to wear special peony colours.
The Chinese name for peony is "sho yu" which means "most beautiful" and they idolised this flower.
The common thread is that the flower always denotes luxury and indulgence.
Wishing you all the best and thank you, M, (*_*)

Hanging out with Amy and Holly. We watched some people racing and felt like winners, by not having to participate.
I didn't realize how impactful making this portrait would be for me. The job insecurity is hard, still, knowing this is what must be done for the greater good, for all of us matters most. The t-shirt was what I happened to have on, and the light, well, may we ever turn towards it.

Post after work run. High 40s, no wind, and a decent hill workout. 8 miles later and a long day at work was put into perspective as the sun set.

I got to sneak in a lunch date with this inquisitive guy, peeking at me from under his stroller cover, and his mama. In my return to a more traditional 9-5 I've lost some of the flexibility and freedom that freelancing provided. I've gained other things I know (read: insurance we can afford that actually pays for my seemingly endless doctor's appointments and my husband's mental health needs). I know this. I'm grateful.
But I miss scheduling my comings and goings independent of a larger organization. On early fall afternoons walking to our town center for midday tacos has all the appeal. Combining that with getting time with a friend midweek infused a hectic few days with some levity. Good conversation, yummy food, baby snuggles... the good stuff. I love that this project reminds me, again and again of it.
Where's the good stuff in your life this week?
