Meanwhile I’m off the island and planning how naughty I want to be!!
Meanwhile I’m off the island and planning how naughty I want to be!!
I'm on an island in the Ban Archipelago.
My island is named No Sparklies Until Christmas.
But I can see a ship far off in the distance. Every day it inches closer. It is piloted by Santa himself, his elves as sailors. The ship may or may not stop for me, it all depends on if I am good in the near-term. If I can stick to my budget, Santa may stop! If I'm naughty, and dine out too much, or buy clothes, it will leave me marooned on my island.
Me on Ban Island:
I see a ship waaay in the distance!
Santa, Santa, I'm here! Don't leave me! Come get me!!!!!
i have seen Christmas adds on tv .........
thank youOur neighbors put up their Christmas lights the day after Halloween! (Nov 1)
I'm still on Ban Island for the moment. We had some unexpected expenses (home repairs and an IRS bill for a mistake on our 2020 tax forms! Yikes!) And we're waiting on clients to pay us. Soooo....I have to see how it all shakes out before I know if I'm allowed any sparklies at Christmas. Its killing me!!!!
Sorry about your washing machine, and misplacing your bling. Sending good vibes in your direction for it to turn up soon.
I am on Ban Island too, after having committed to buy the whopper blue green Tourmaline from Jeff W.
Also, I need to keep some spare pennies back for my trip to Tucson and Arizona next January/February 2023.

Oh I’m hoping to go to Tuscon in 2024… see you there??
anybody else back on ban island
i just paid the council rates (property tax) but have another to pay and also the gas bill
looks like i wont be getting my pearl tiara/choker in time for the corination
@empliau, the green of those emeralds is amazing. I mean, they look like amazing stones. I once thought about buying tsavorites and drove a very nice vendor crazy sending me many (all of which I returned). Emeralds are just special. I have some I got in Colombia that are very small with color that is not very deep...but there are no inclusions and the green is a true green.

I don't want to threadjack. I have been on ban island for over a year. I do not even wear any jewelry except a cheap watch. But I still love looking.
I have one more payment on my dream pearl studs from Andrew Moline, and then it's Ban Island for a while. I'm going to go shopping in my jewelry box and the pieces I inherited from my mom. Her taste is so different from mine that many of the things I chose - like Elvis - are just not things I could ever wear, but some, like her emerald halo earrings, I quite love.
Elvis and emeralds:
i went for a paddle in the shallows
a bit naughty but what ever !!
i recently brought quite a lot of moss agate (that stuff is adictive, i just wanted to play with it)
anyway i took it in to get knotted and a clasp added today
but i think i can almost still include it in my rules of nothing new till everythng is werable as it gave a home to a silver Nordic pendant my Swedish friend had given me several years ago
this is the etsy picture of the moss agate but its much much nicer in person
of course its costing more to string it than it did to buy, but its just so pretty
Wow, if it is even prettier in person, I can't wait to see it strung! I love the variation in colors!
