O/T - new pics which the previous post was deleted

CLICK if you want to see me decked out in our favorite designer's jewels and my DBGD chewing on Miss Judie's coin pearls. These were taken 4/17/12, my 66th b-day, as a memento for me. I thought I'd share them for those who may be interested in my budding Ripkanista.

I sure hope this doesn't get deleted also.

Kappy, thanks for sharing those pics. The baby is adorable and already knows her jewels. Love your combo and the two Rose Opal bracelets look just fabulous worn together!

The pics of your DGD remind me of the famous pic of Jackie Kennedy with her John as an infant, playing with her 3 strand. In his mouth too! LOL

You BOTH look beautiful. Your DBGD is such a doll and so bright and alert. Thank you for sharing you special day with us. DBGD is demonstrating her good taste in jewelry. {#emotions_dlg.laugh} I bet she is going to be helping you pick out jewelry very, very soon. Family, friends and some nice jewelry, it doesn't get any better than that!

The cuffs were perfect paired.

Kaplan, your DBGD is a beauty, and so are you! What fun to see you wearing the earrings you called in about. I am sooo tempted by the smoky/citrine version but trying to stick to my jewelry buying diet a little longer...

Thanks for sharing! Very sweet, both of you together. Like indy, I thought of the Kennedys.

Hi, Kaplan, I peeked the other day. The picture reminded me of the picture of Jacqueline Kennedy when John, John grabbed her pearls in that famous photo. Love that picture and your DBGD is gorgeous! I can see in the pictures how happy she makes you!

You Sisters are so kind to me and my DBGD. I'm sure you realize that I am way beyond prejudiced "FOR" all of my grand children, but the baby holds still and lets me "eat" her feet, and then laughs. :) Thanks so much for all your wonderful comments.

=====

HeyltsRJ - The earrings I wore for the pics were the pink ombre, not the citrine/SQ which I spoke last on the air with Miss Judie. Both of them are fab earrings and you'd love, I'm sure. Just wore the kissing cousin, the amy, yesterday. SO comfortable for a larger earring. Thanks for the kind words.

=====

Indy, luvmyjewelry & Pamula - I thought of the slight resemblance to the famous John-John pis with Mrs. Kennedy too, but was too modest to even mention it. :) The baby does have excellent taste on teethers, that's for sure! She is so petite, but so full of energy. Such a joy and privilege to be able to see up close her development.

Thanks for clarifying, Kaplan. I will report back when I succumb to the citrine/SQ!

Pug & gem - Thanks so much. She's a Ripkanista in training even if it's only teething.
