(45) halfway

Today was a good day over all.

The rain was quiet and peaceful.

Got some things done and wrote a letter to 

a dear MI friend.

Tomorrow I am going to the mall for final make up things,

as well as looking for earrings to go with the necklace.

I showed someone a picture of the pretty necklace I got for 12$ at the 

VNA rummage sale and they commented that maybe it 

was real and were garnet stones and that it could be worth a few

thousand dollars; I am very relieved to say that I looked at it again

and it is for sure paste/costume jewelry and not real. 

(There is paint on the back side of all the "crystal", etc).

I would have been stressed to have real jewels with me 

for a wedding (it's not in our city even!) and 

am so glad that they are exactly as I thought, 

simple pretty vintage costume jewelry,

all I ever wanted. 

Not a fully clear picture,

but this is the necklace with the silver dress I will 

be wearing to the wedding! 

I love the vintage nature of this necklace,

that is just fun and no pressure of having it being 

a necklace of great worth! Whew!

May God have mercy on us.

I know we need it so desperately.
