new ring in peacock: i love this color, it's the perfect blend of green and blue without being to green or to blue.

here's a little secret about me: i have color issues.

it's true, as in the color purple makes me nauseous...you know, paint tube purple, meaning, not enough pink or red in it purple & paint tube blue, but not to be confused with cobalt!! i like me some cobalt.

no kidding!

**peacock ring is made of sterling & glass**

last sunday morning chris and woke up to a pink chick infestation....SOOO Sweet!!!  we have a sneaking suspicion as to who the secret bunny was but they won't give =)   thank you, thank you, thank you, for sharing the love with these wee little pink chicks.......what a fabulous surprise.  these little chickees make our day everytime we leave the house. we probably have 30 of them all over our front porch.  nothing like a little pink to brighten your (my) day!!!  i think they are multiplying =)
