    Default Mama I'm home

    A new pearl supplier visited yesterday, and in his excitement, whilst showing me his wares, he thought he dropped one. We looked under the couch, & found an elastic band, moved the coffee table, & to my dismay, only dust bunnies to be seen. So this morning, I got in early, to vacuum. Imagine my surprise, when this baby emerged.

    I am mesmerised, by the pistachio, and the hint of emerald green. Do you think this one was meant to be mine?
    I cant help myself, I have to do the right thing, so I called him to tell him the lost was found. He cant get back til tomorrow, so I have a day to look again in wonderment at this beauty, and see if I can figure out a way to make it mine.
    My cynical self also wonders if this is a very shrewd sales ploy, because boy-oh-boy I really want it!

    Deeply breathe in through your nose, slowly exhale through your mouth. Do this ten times, all the time backing away from the pearl. When the pearl image pops in your head, think of something else, like chocolate. No, not chocolate, that goes back to pearls. Think of felting! Yeah, felting! If this does not work after several hundred tries, buy it! It is stunning.

    You might consider the situation this way... instead of you finding the pearl, the pearl found you! Now doesn't that make the decision obvious?

    This one has been making itself at home. Quite a gregarious pearl... It has found some friends.

    Oh purlgurl what a gorgeous pearl! I do hope you can keep it and that it won't become 'the one that got away'.

    If it speaks to you then it's mean't for you
