Rings and Pins, Part 2

OK, here are more - there are still a stubborn few items that won't let me get a decent photo, but here are most of the rest.

I love this ring, I got it at a flea market here in VA.

This is another VA flea market find, I can't seem to get a photo that really shows just how big this one is.

Derek and Brian gave me this one, it's not "vintage" but it's what I wear on special occasions.

Got this one at a flea market in San Francisco. It looks like an agate.

Another owl - this ring is from an antique mall in Sacramento.

Yet another VA flea market find.

My friend Catherine got me this one as a gift - so cute!

Another of the church rummage sale 3 for $1 rings. It's small for my taste but the colors are cool.

I love this ring. I found it at a tiny flea market we stumbled upon while driving around in Maryland a couple years ago.



Got this at the same time as the owl ring - I think it's wood but I'm not sure.

VA flea market again - this seems like some kind of fossil.

This is fun, it's kind of Asian-inspired.

This is a fun pin from one of the many CA shopping expeditions.

Got this at a little thrift shop in Alexandria. It was the only cool thing in the shop!

Another CA antique mall find.

Rings and Pins, Part 1

Here are the photos that weren't blurry, or weren't as blurry - it turns out it's harder to take photos of rings and pins than you (or I!) might think. I'll take more tomorrow - I'll try outside, maybe the flash is throwing it off? Who knows, this technology is beyond my capacity!



This is a small ring for me, and it's a real cheapie - I got it with some others at a church rummage sale (just visiting the church - ha ha!) in Virginia a couple years ago. 3 for $1 - can't argue with that! This one is sort of patriotic, too.




I got this ring at one of the local flea markets in the Alexandria area, not sure which one anymore. I call it my pirate ring, to me it looks like something a pirate would wear. And yes, I wore it to Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. :)



These two I often wear together just for fun. Derek got me the one on my middle finger at an antique mall in the Bay area, and I happened to find the other one at a flea market here in VA. These are close to giving me the dreaded fat finger look, though, so they may have to be semi-retired until I start eating better or something!



This is my most recent pin. I got it at an antique store in Gilroy, CA on my last visit to CA back in May. Derek and I hit tons of these places on that visit, but didn't have tons of luck finding things.



I love this pin, can't remember exactly where I got it but it was with Derek somewhere in the Bay Area.



Derek got me this one as a present. It's totally fun to wear on a sleeve.



This I got in a tiny antique store in San Jose. It's about an inch wide - tiny and cute!

Some photos for you!

Here are some random photos I thought you might like.



This is Buster, the "older" cat. He is a sweet kitty, he loves to follow us around the house all day, and he likes people food, so he always wants to see what you're eating in case he wants you to share.



This is our baby, Pico. We both love both of our cats, but Pico is Al's favorite. Pico runs the house, if you want to know the truth. He doesn't care about people food, but he loves to be brushed. Both our cats are from Texas.



My hair! I swear there's hair of every color, from dark brown to blonde, with red too just for good measure, and even some gray!



And just because I know you can totally understand, here are some cool Japanese miniatures.
