Turquoise is my favourite stone ! I have "tons" of jewelry with this stone, bracelets, necklaces, earings, most of them I bought in Egypt where it is very very cheap. I also bought a ring from American Indians (at that time) in 1971.
I love your new header it looks so peaceful !
I was quite busy lately and had to catch up a lot after my holidays in Italy !

Hi Anni. Did you get all your chores done? You must have...you're blogging again.

I love the amethyst geode. Amethyst is my birthstone as well as my favourite stone. It has protective qualities...apparently.
