Piaget, watches and jewelry...since 1874.
A watch brand of quality...they are still creating masterpieces...see them here.
It's a simple black leather box...
made in Switzerland the home of watchmakers for centuries
I do not own a Piaget, or a Cartier, or even a Rolex.
My timepiece is a humble one
and I do not wear a watch often.
I have an armful of sterling bangles jangling and dangling from my left wrist.
When I need to keep tabs on time I wear this,
A large dial which I can read without glasses!
The band is brown leather it is a Swiss made ESQ
If memory serves, it is a man's watch, and I bought it for a modest price.
I wear a vintage gold chain link bracelet or my gold bracelet with diamond hearts when I wear this for dressy occasions or if it's casual the watch is solo.
What do I keep in the box?
...an assortment of earrings...
my daughter made me some of these.
Others were made by friends,
a few are as old as the hills!
My classic pearl studs were a gift from my dear mother...
they were worn non-stop until my first diamond studs made their appearance in 1984.
Some get more play than others, I have my favourites.
I just remembered that my heavy gold hoops are in a safety deposit box...
I tend to wear my diamonds every day....2 paris of studs.
Or a pair of studs and the channel set diamond U- shaped hoops.
I am wearing these now.
This weekend I plan to get into my new book...
It sounds like fun...I've read a few chapters already.
There's a wind of change blowing in here at the Bungalow and I can feel it.
I am drinking lots of water with fresh lemons as I am upping my hydration....
I am soon to start a walking regime.
I have been inspired by Janet
(who BTW has radiant skin!)
over at The Gardener's Cottage
Enjoy your Weekend.
Go Hostess! And BTW, your ESQ looks just like my Rolex Cellini so I think that makes you the smart one:).
ReplyDeleteYou are so energetic Hostess, I simply can´t compare my doings with yours. Sigh. I checked the blog you mentioned and I have also noticed, that less makeup on does look better these days.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend! I love SK so thanks for reminding me she has this book out too!
