I love my rhinestone jewelry yet perhaps even more...I love knowing that I am wearing history. I'm reminded of my dear mother. My mom is still alive yet I lost her several years ago to the tragedy of Alzheimer's. It's a terrible disease and a very sad experience to live through. To find happiness inside, I have to think of my mom when when she was younger. I remember her wearing her rhinestone vintage jewelry. I adore looking at my pictures and seeing her pride show through.
Every day I put on a gorgeous necklace, pair of earrings, bracelet or a great pin...I think about the woman who once wore these beautiful pieces of art. I think about it being her special day. That day may have been the highlight "event" of her year..a birthday celebration, Christmas Ball or an elegant night on the town. She was dressed in her very best with every hair in place. The last thing she would do to complete her "perfect" look was to don her beautiful costume jewelry. In my mind, I see her in that mirror and feel her feelings of self satisfaction. It makes me feel GREAT!!!
It's a gift that just keeps on giving to me. I feel their joy every day. Lucky me though...I don't have to get dressed up. Rhinestones go with everything. You just have to learn to wear them with style.
Have an AWESOME day today.
