And hello again to the wild and woolly Coffeeshop. Happy New Year, belatedly. I was a-roamin' this great land, from the deserts of AZ to the beaches of DE.
Leo, hope you're feeling better. I enjoyed the pics of the vintage watches. Lisa, Karis, Wes, Bill, etc, greetings. And to Mikki with the crashing ex-husband, Salud. |

Sounds like.
It was a wonderful holiday period break. I've seen parasailing Santas in the Caribbean at Christmastime before, but this year it was saguaros and red chiles. Not a problem. Hope the girls had a great Christmas. |

Glad you had a nice break. Did you go to the Grand Canyon? Eat yummy food? Some of the most memorable Mexican food I ever had was in Albuquerque. I'd love to go back.
Christmas was good... but glad the girls are back in school to allow time for a new obsession - finding a ring for my right hand to go with my watch. I'm going to the vintage jeweler guy today with camera in hand.... might have some goodies to post when I get back. |

As for a sports car(one of the best designed and almost hand built) as a toy, to drive in the spring and summer through early fall(I live in the Midwest...think winter)I would prefer a Hardtop E-Type Jaguar with a V-12.....I know convertibles are fun but their strength and integrity are compromised without having the frame for the 'roof' of the car. I have a very good and close friend(known since 1968) who is one of the top specialists in the country for working on E-Types.....so getting it worked on would never be a problem!!! Take it easy.....Leo

Lisa, not the Grand Canyon sadly, but Sedona and Scottsdale, so I had my red rocks. We thought about going north but there was already some snow in Flagstaff and it was supposed to be laid-back trip. Achieved.
Karis, I was reading an airline mag about an old ranching family in AZ, and a daughter of the family was named Karis. I thought of you, with that memorable and pretty name. Is it common the Southwest/West? Anyway, I was envisioning a Daytona-wristed cowgirl on the sweeping desert plain. :) |

Scottsdale. My goofy brother lives there. I guess he still does, anyway!
Here's a few pics of my fruitful jewelry search... this place is an antiques shop, but the owner has a special interest in fine jewelry and one of the best collections of vintage stuff in town. Some of these are old mine-cut diamonds from the late 1800s. Men's rings - one of three displays: Sorry for the blur... This was on the woman's wrist who worked there. She bought it from the shop. It's a 1920s full carat stone, mine cut. She was a good hand model.... here's an amethyst in yellow gold that I really liked, but I wanted white gold. A London blue topaz in 14K white gold. I adored the color. Mikki, didn't you say you liked amethysts? Here's a closer look at the one above. A dainty blue topaz. A bit too dainty for me, though. Crusted with diamonds. Pretty shape. Can't remember what this stone was, but setting is white gold. I like the horizontal settings, though this one was a bit too delicate for me. I wore both watches to match with rings.... this is a citrine. I kept coming back to this one. My birthstone is a sapphire, and while this is a topaz, the deep color really drew me in. This is the one I decided on. It's set in 14K white gold. Does it look okay with the watch? The proprietor, Randy. He said to let you guys know he does ship! |

That is an astounding ring display! So many, so pretty. I thought estate jewelry all went to the East Coast to die, but apparently not.
I LOVE the choice of the deep blue topaz. I didn't realize it even came that dark in coloring, like sapphire. Agree with you that it should be a nice big size for a colored gemstone used to balance your bold watches. Yes from me. PS, that 1920s old mine ring looks almost exactly like my engagement ring. |

p.s. I do think your choices are very very nice, and they go so well with the bold watches. Coolness abounds.

I just added a really awkward shot of my old diamond ring...I am not boiling lobster red in fact. But you get the idea.
Love the gemstones here, Mikki's too. |

No, it's a good pic... shows the ring beautifully. Is that a vintage tablecloth peeking out from beneath your hand?
