So, last night I was bored. What else is new...I'm waiting for the semester to start. Luckily, today my mom's boss needs some help next week so I'll get some hours. At least I won't be sitting around wondering what I can do next.
Anyway, here is the pic of my tiara. Funny story. I saw this tiara and fell in love with it-years ago. Occasionally, I would walk into the store and ask to see it. I'd bring my mom to "visit it" but that was as close as I got to it. The same lady usually was the one that would help me. Last December I had enough Christmas money to buy the tiara. I thought it was silly, ridiculously expensive, but honestly, it was perfect! In January the company retires old designs. I had done enough research to know that this January this tiara was going to be retired. Which meant if I was going to get it, I was going to have to do it now or I would loose it. Yes there was always ebay-and I looked there too b/c I thought that maybe I would get a deal on it. I explained this to -at the time- BF would said there was no way I was going to buy something to put in my hair on ebay and that if I wanted the tiara and had the money to do it to just buy it. I was a bit shocked that he was cool with this, but wasn't going to complain. A few days later I went to the store and the same lady that had always taken care of me was there. She asked if I would like to see the tiara. When I said yes and that I would like to buy it she was just as excited as I was! I told her how silly I felt buying it without and engagement ring, but that my BF said I could buy it. So, I did.
To celebrate the purchase-b/c what good is a tiara if you can't wear it. I had a friend over to have pizza with and we had a dinner party while I wore my tiara and she wore hers from New Years Eve.
So, without further ado, here is my crown jewels
I also have my "something blue." It's a mickey toe ring! I have another one that is a channel set of blue stones- but the pics didn't come out.
This weekend my mother and I are going to a bridal show. Should be fun.
