My Gift


IMG_0968, originally uploaded by PaulaK.

This is what my dear husband gave me for
Christmas. It is a pendant, cast from a real pea pod, with 7 pearl "peas" for each of my children. Amazingly, he didn't order it or anything, just found it when doing his traditional Christmas Eve shopping.

My sweet baby A. has developed a bit of a temper, and while writhing, hitting and scratching at me she managed to grab it and break the chain the first time I wore it! It was a little too long anyway, but somehow a trip to the jeweler's is never top on my list of errands, so I fear it will be a while before I get around to having it repaired.

Oh, I hope you can get that fixed, that is such a cool necklace! (Well, until the next lil' pea comes along, lol.)
