This exquisite little pendant arrived in the post this morning, sent by the delightful Marianne as a gift for me. I have known Marianne since her teens, and am very fond of her; she is a friend of the Lovely Son, and they have maintained their friendship over the years despite taking very diverse paths in life.
Marianne and husband Rob are jewellery designers, and have a chic little shop (and a tempting website, Saunders & Pughe - do look!) in Corbridge, Northumberland. Their photographs do justice to their delicate and beautiful creations in a way that mine just can't.
She had worn a similar pendant, with an aquamarine (mine has a peacock pearl, something I hadn't seen before) when she came for dinner the other night, and I had admired it, particularly the tiny, perfectly-detailed gold acorn, never thinking I would have one of my own. This was a hugely-undeserved but wonderful thank-you for a dinner, and a lovely, very special surprise too.

how sweet is that...and how dainty too...it's lovely.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a peacock pearl...
You're a lucky person. What a nice gift! I wonder if she'd like to come to dinner with me next?
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that you have such lovely friends because you make a lovely friend... and mum, dogs mum, cats serf, allotment placator extraordinaire etc... x
