Moon River

I like very simple, plain jewelry. Some people like a lot of flash, but that's not me. I don't do gaudy well either. I like silver over gold. And I like it to have a personal connection.
My wedding ring.
My grandmother's pearls.
They are like a warm blanket of love.
Speaking of that warm blanket, when the little man was younger, one of our favorite bed time stories was Guess How Much I Love You. It is a story of how much a parent loves their child-and the child loves their parent. There is love as high as they can reach, down the lane, to the river, to the moon. As the little bunny falls asleep, the story ends with the classic lines:

"I love you right up to the MOON," he said, and closed his eyes.

"Oh, that's far," said Big Nutbrown Hare. "That is very, very far."

Big Nutbrown Hare settled Little Nutbrown Hare into his bed of leaves. He leaned over and kissed him good night.

Then he lay down close by and whispered with a smile, "I love you right up to the moon - AND BACK."

Since he was 4, I have told my son each night as I tuck him, under a warm blanket, that I love him to the moon and back.
The Vintage Pearl (which has some beautiful things) has THE perfect mother's day gift for me: a personalized necklace saying I love you to the moon and back.
I don't normally covet, but this is inspiring me to covet big time. Check it out here and see if you agree with me:
