Really. It snowed. Can't you see it? It's like Where's Waldo...just keep looking for it.
The only light pink I could find for this 3rd Sunday in Advent was in these earrings. I did use my pink purse, but forgot to grab it for the pic.
My mom always brings me the best "I got this for myself but it didn't fit" hand-me-downs. This winter white sweater was the latest and was perfect for a cold icy morning. This pic is courtesy of Sully - the kid has some mad 3yr old photography skills..
He also grabbed this one of my mom and I. Isn't she lovely? :)
Not only did my mom bring an awesome sweater, she brought a bag of my Grandmother's costume jewelry.
I couldn't hold back the tears as I went through each piece. I have vivid memories of her wearing so many of them and am so grateful for such an incredible treasure. I can't wait to wear them.
Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!

You look so chic, as always! I thought and thought about what pink to wear, but gave it up and went for the orange and being on time to Mass instead. Those jewels of your grandmothers are beautiful! I'm sure you will enjoy wearing them and remembering her.

And isn't grandma costume jewelry the best?!? I hope day I pass on my trinkets to some granddaughters who think its crazy and cool!
Tell your mom I like her hair :-) I love it when a lady keeps her natural hair color. I think it's very classy and dignified!
