February Monthly Photo Comp Discussion Thread..!!

Kathy, thank you xx but I know it's naughty of me ..... :hehe::hehe::hehe:

For what's it's worth, Sis bought me the black silk robe, the long crystal necklace and the perfume .... love you Sis xxxxxx

Must come up with something a bit more sensible ..... :flag::lollol:

 

No!!!

 

:lollol::lollol::lollol:you little devil Dave W :lollol::lollol::lollol:

 

Well, I really feared the end of the month would come and I would not manage to take a single picture for this comp, which was a shame since I really like the theme. I told my hubby I wanted a hand for a picture, quite literally, and he started panicking about scratches, broken nails and whatnots, blimey, hard working men are not what they used to be :D

(btw, I did NOT get roses, grrrrr)

 

You always come up trumps, Ivory ... or is that hands up today

Roses ... never had them in 41 years. Carnations twice (which are my favourite flower because of the spicy scent) ... on my 21st/our 1st (same day) I had red and white Carnations on a box of chocolates and on my 40th/our 20th I had 40 red and 20 white long-stemmed Carnations delivered to me at work .... quite a shock and very difficult getting them home in an Austin Sprite sports car ... I couldn't see to drive ... :hehe:

Flowers are beautiful ... as we all know ... but they mean nothing if there is nothing 'behind' it ....

I must say that jewels, in particular rings, were in place of the flowers .... diamonds are forever (and other gems) ... :luv:

 

Hands up,most definitely. Don't shoot! :D

Funny enough, I don't wear any jewels exept the occasional silver trinkett you get at craft fairs for 5 euros, wear for a few weeks, and then forget about. That is why it is a soretrial that the hubby is not a flower man! :D

The loveliest gem I posses is cabochon aquamarine that the jeweler was giving away practically gratis because it is "defective", meaning that it has a flaw,andthe colour is more green than blue... but it was exactly the same green shade of the eyes of my lover, and I loved it on first sight. A friend set it in silver for me (it's a rather alternative setting, I agree). Even wrote a poem for it:

I bought an aquamarine
the same green as your eyes
I don't know yet
if it is beautiful or scary
The transparency of your irises in the sun
chained in lifeless silver
