Oh my goodness, I have missed so much! I had no idea it's been more than a couple of weeks since I have checked in here!!!
@Nina95 Thanks so much for posting that TSC discount link! Now I have a dilemma since
Bloomingdale's Friends and Family is coming up in about a week with 20% off, and I have some points that would give me a little more off. I really, really want something directly from TSC, though!!! Of course, she has things that Bloomies doesn't, so I need to do some research!
@etoile de mer I love your pictures of the starfish worn on the long oval chain! Gosh, y'all are really tempting me! I thought the sea star pendant would satisfy my desire for one, but I have now changed my mind on that! But I am only going to allow myself one large amulet (

).
@restricter Wow, what a beautiful ring!
@MyDogTink Love the red cord with your heart!
@Vermeer The multi-colored sapphires on your bracelet are so pretty!
This is a random comment about VCA and TSC. I love a lot of VCA. It is beautiful, classic, feminine, timeless. It is also very high priced at this point, sadly. I was frustrated with their lack of supply over a year ago and decided it was time to add some yellow gold pieces and I went to my long time love...TSC. And you know what? I am totally content with my small VCA collection and enjoy wearing the pieces I have. But I don't have the desire to add much more, because I absolutely love TSC.

Her pieces are such works of art, and they are also beautiful, classic, feminine, and timeless. I do feel they are a better value in terms of the materials, too. I am trying not to go overboard because I really want a collection of pieces that are very special to me and ones that I will wear and hand down. I get a compliment every time I wear the Tree of Life locket or the Pineapple amulet. People have no idea what it is, but it is seen as beautiful for what it is and not due to a designer name.
