Celebrating for our Daddy has always meant Bloody Marys. When we were little girls, Daddy served up our own Virgin Bloody Mary’s spiced just for our growing tastes, while the ‘grown-ups’ enjoyed the real deal. So on this and every Father’s Day, we will mix up a pitcher full of Bloody Mary’s and drink a toast to Grandy and the best Bloody Mary on the planet!DSC06696. Tom Stoenner’s hand blown glasses show off the prettiest Mary of all!

Toast Dad!

ALSO – back to the question of the week – what to wear? (Don’t tell that it’s still a question) Anyway – back to the questions – wearing black? There’s Andrea Barnett’s impressive vintage style necklace with many, many beautiful stones.

Totaly different look – Connie Bates’ Fahrenheit pewter mesh chain necklace with blue stones along with some fabulous earrings with blue beach glass stones.

3 cross + color close

This is my own style layering – three striking Andrea Barnett necklaces, the orange cross, the turquoise cross, the bronze medal - all on seed bead necklaces. And tucked up under there are some fabulous bronze dangle earrings – because layering is so CURRENT looking.

I’m sure there are more choices – what if I decide to wear WHITE? DO come back and we will look at what I might wear with white. Oh, and maybe what the graduate will wear?
