Okay, the leather and rhodonite bracelet finally arrived. It did get delivered to the other city and the kind person who received it put it back in the system so it could get to me.

The best part about the bracelet is the silver around the stone is very similar to my concho pieces (I have a pendant and ring) and so basically that completes my "rhodonite look".

The leather is the light tan, it will darken over time and although it looks great now, it will look even better as time goes on. It's a keeper - if you like rhodonite or have rhodonite pieces with a western flavor, it will fit in fine!

We'll see Stoney - at least your package had tracking. I think it's suspicious that my tracking doesn't work . . even called the P.O. and it didn't work for them. Glad you finally got yours!

So happy that pretty cuff worked for you Pistolino . . so different and unique. I do love rhodonite but I'm picky with that stone - how is your stone?

Hi everyone! I'm enjoying hearing about and seeing the pics of everything you all got! We were away at DH's nephew's destination wedding in Key West (BTW I was decked out in my turquoise! Smile), so I had to DVR the shows. I couldn't get all of them, but was able to get two of them. So after watching, I guess it's good I wasn't near a computer! Wink

Before we left, I did order and receive the Kingman enhancer. I love it. I also got the turtle insert. I wanted that, but debated on it. Two summers ago DS went to work with sea turtles with a high school group. He brought me back a silver turtle necklace on a leather cord that I wear a lot. I really wanted this one, but told myself I shouldn't get it. Then I showed it to him, since he's so interested in turtles. He really liked it, especially the symbols on it. So I went ahead and got it. It came today, and I'm SO happy I did. It looks great on my black leather cord, which I rely on a lot. I really should give my other necklaces a chance. {#emotions_dlg.lol} I added a lot of things to my wish list. I'm a turquoise girl, but those red coral pieces are stunning! I have the Tango necklace and wear that quite a bit.

Jug - did you get your ring yet?

So sad you missed all the shows . . and had to be in KEY WEST!! You POOR THING!Cool We did miss you here Beachy girl! Congrats on that pretty Kingman enhancer and the turtle insert . . what a nice hubby to insist on you getting that lol. The world would be a much kinder (and FUN) place if all hubbies were so obliging. Mine does love my SW and N.A. pieces and the symbols as well, but if he knew the price of some of my purchases . . {#emotions_dlg.ohmy}

I love coral too! Did not receive my coral cluster ring - don't think I will. It shipped out on Monday, Priority Mail - I should have gotten it Wed or Thurs. The tracking doesn't work, so I have a feeling the ring is either in "limbo" or on someone's finger. I have to wait until 7/20 before the Q will do anything. Oh well!

LOL - it wasn't DH - it was DS! {#emotions_dlg.lol} DH doesn't know about it - yet! Wink He will soon enough! No - he's really good about my purchases and does often tell me I should order something. Smile He wasn't around to see this, just DS. I was just worried DS' feelings would be hurt if I got another turtle since he already got me one when he was on his high school trip. He did research on Tortuguero Island in Costa Rica helping tag female sea turtles and tracking where they lay their eggs. I was thrilled when he said, "Mom you should get this" "cause I REALLY wanted to!

I hope your ring finds its way to you soon! Smile

Just love the pix - reminds me of ""Turtle Bay"" where I walk frequently. Redding is world famous tor the ""Sundial Bridge"" - it was designed by a world renown architecht so it is our main claim to tourism - anyhow - it's in ""Turtle Bay"" where they have wonderful trails - as you are walking you come upon a huge pond wheres these ""sun' turtles reside - (thus the name ""Turtle Bay"") - they are always nesting along the logs just like the ones in the picture - only more - end to end - always stop and watch them - I have a lot of turtle jewelry too - love them remember ""slow and steady wins the race""! LOL thanks for sharing.

Jug - Those turtles are precious! I don't think we have any here - at least I haven't seen any. A long time ago we were driving to church and one crossed the road in front of us. We have a dry creek bed in back of us, but it does fill with water once in a while. There's a development not too far away with a small pond. Maybe he was heading there, but it would take him a LONG time to get there! Wink

I loved your picture. What a relaxing place! Smile

CL - You're lucky to get to see them everyday. I had a pet turtle years ago when I grew up. I used to take him out and let him walk across my bedspread. He actually lived a pretty long time IIRC! Smile

The 36" turquoise necklace finally arrived today. It is another winner. When I saw it online, I thought I don't need this one as I have tons of turquoise necklaces. This changed once I saw the necklace during the presentation. This is definately a "wow" once doubled.

I am worried as to what new is coming in only a few weeks after the spectucular shows we just witnessed.
