  • Overall Bling

    Sometimes I think it must be my Amish ancestry but I have a hard time wearing jewelry. Either it doesn’t feel right, or it sits crooked on my neck, or I constantly lose earrings….bracelets clank on the desk, power tools don’t feel safe…

    I’ve been wearing overalls since I was a kid, all through college in the 70’s & now, as I turn 70….still wearing them. Every day. Can’t understand why everyone doesn’t. 🙂

    For “jewelry” these days, I like to attach a terracotta clay ornament that I use as an essential oil diffuser. Usually peppermint that seems to help me focus.

    The ornament attaches easily with arthritic fingers. 🙂

    Changed the size of the attachment to 1 inch to make it easier on my fingers
