I express my self thru the jewelry I wear. I love it and collect it. One day I may have pearls and a black dress on the next some funky chunky beaded bracelet. I have antique victorian pieces to modern pieces. I at one point had a arm full of bracelts each was a symbol of a religion. A jewish star the turkish evil eye a ghandi qoute on one. All of which to me symbolize my openess to except all no matter who they are or what they believe.
My husband started me with my collection and my obsession and some may think its a material item but to me I feel it says who I am and how I feel. My favorite pieces are my fleur de lis. My family are in the New Orleans area so before it was a cool symbol I was wearing them. It has such a big part of my heart I wear it to share with people who I am.
When I travel I always pick a new piece not just for me but I buy for friends too. Then when I see them wearing it I am reminded of where I got it. Here is a site a patron gave me today of jewelry she makes it and has such a passion for it and I of course found pieces to buy as gifts. Jewelry is her creative outlet and when I talked to her I could tell how much happines it brings to her.

One of my favorite things to do with my collection is give it to friends and family. When I see my friends struggling I look for something as unique as they are and give it to them.
My recent collection is beach glass and the jewelry has yet to be made. I have collected pieces and other items from the beach and I am going to try and make my own or have custom made pieces for all of my nieces. Jacob told me about beach glass I swear he is such a old soul! Him and I go to the beach and collect pieces and put them in a jar. Each piece has a story much like my jewelry collection. I figure why not place it on chain and let someone express themselves with it. I just wanted to share it with all of you and I hope to hear of your hobbies collections and how you express yourself:)
