I haven't worn them since July. I miss them, and I swear I keep meaning to get them resized, but it just never happens.
So today at the farmer's market, I splurged on a heart tray to keep my rings in, so at least they're not shut in a cabinet. The older man making them sits and crafts all these beautiful wooden items while he sells and today, he let Luke touch the soft wood as he was carving.
After I bought this, I told him to have a good day. He smiled in such a way that his wrinkles made his face look so lovely and said, "If I don't, it's my own fault!"
The $20 that I spent on this beautiful dish already seemed so little, but his words to me? The way they were so needed? Those were the best gift of all.

"If I don't, it's my own fault!" I think that's what I needed to hear today, too! I was a grumpy-pants last night, and I am seriously wishing I could rewind.
But I can only make a better choice to "have a good day" from here on out. So that's what I'm going to do!
How beautiful! I would love to have the kind of skill to make that. And I need to remind myself to have that kind of attitude.
I have the opposite problem with my rings after my daughter. I could get them on and off the whole pregnancy, but I can't get them off now! I just keep ignoring it like magically one day I will be able to get them off. :)
i saw those pretties there this morning,what a great idea.
i hop you are having a great day
Sounds like a nice old man.
I love it!

That it's beautiful! What a great attitude the man has! :D
My grandpa used to say that. :) And *you* just gave *me* a gift by reminding me. :) xoxo

[my friend, liz, saw you there! and i missed the peonies. where are they?!]
And the fact that Luke was involved makes it that much more amazing. LOVE IT!
I missed you there, but I did see Donya and family. That man does beautiful work. Glad you treated yourself.
That's a beautiful bowl! Did you know that at Helzberg's you can get ring sizers put on your rings? My mom did it with one of hers and it worked out nice.
This is awesome.
Erin, I LOVE that tray for your jewelry!
How is the farmer's market in your parts?
Excellent! I approve! :-)
I love the tray, but those words, they say so much more than their meaning, don't they?
I love that the most, I want to be that, amazing the places where we find inspiration.
Love that little tray. Handmade is the best.
Our engagement rings are almost identical! How cool to see someone else who has such good taste in jewelry! :-D
