Love in a jewel

 


So many shops in Westport that are down the main street. I couldn't help but notice the sign on the left advertising a jewellery shop. I'm not much of a jewellery fan, in fact anything I wear including ear-rings has to be almost surgical steel as I'm allergic to most types. In my years of retail I've seen many people adorned to the max with jewellery such as many rings on fingers, not my thing.

I've had a very quiet week. I was meant to be working extra days but I've been hit with a head cold which pushed me into making an appointment with my doctor to get my next flu vaccine booked in as I'm overdue for a renewal.  Hopefully will be feeling alot better today and tomorrow.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

I really like the NZ shopping street photo. I used to wear a few rings and earrings but they annoy me now.

Amy, that is quite a few modern stores for such a small town. Wikipedia said, "it is the oldest European settlement on the West Coast." This lady is looking at the finger jewelry the wrong way, up too close to her eyes. If she would pull back the elbow back a bit and put her hand outright in front of her she could see it to admire better. Of course the ad maker has a more appealing look at the woman this way. :)

Pity that you have allergy towards jewelries! I don't like the jewelry shops in Australia either.

Amy, Westport has quite a few modern looking tor for such a small town. Wikipedia said, "it is the oldest European settlement on the West Coast." To see the Jewelry better, the lady should pull her elbow back and extend her hand palm down. Of course that wouldn't allow the woman to act so chick.

I like the palm trees across the street.
As a teenager, I had seven piercings, four in one ear and three in the other but now I don't wear any jewelry. The sign in my photo translates to Fantastic Animals. It's referring to mythical animals like dragons and griffins.
I love rings but only have three with real jewels. I used to wear more jewellery when I was working but not now unless I'm going out.

More than one ring per finger? I admit, since I work from home all I wear is the wedding ring.
Hope you feel better soon.

I never had my ears pierced, and find other jewelry mostly "in the way" as well - usually only wear them on special occasions.

I have surgical steel ear-piecings and a nipple piercing too. Stainless Steel Watches I´m not allercig either. Bit of leather to go with those and I´m good. Not much of a jewel person myself either.

Love the charming photo of Westport's shopping street.
Once upon a time, I was a big fan of necklaces.
Now, with the passage of years, I've come to realize they only accentuate the wrinkles on my neck!

Happy Monday, Amy!
Not a jewelry person either. Among the many things about which I can say 'I'd rather spend on something else." Cute little street for window shopping though!!
