Today, I am showing some me' pearly whites...no silly not that...my pearls!! I seem to have an attraction for pearls, maybe because they are my birth stone. Early in my childhood, my parents were always generous, giving me pearls of some sort for my birthdays, Christmas, and special occasions.
I was trying to think of something different for the first White Wednesday post of 2010. I decided pearls....Pearls are thought to symbolize purity and spiritual transformation. Because they are of the sea, they have watery and lunar elements, thus balancing emotions. They are said to absorbs thoughts and emotional stress. It is said that wearing pearls enables one to accept
love...love of thyself and love of others
.So here's to our first White Wednesday of 2010 and lots of love!! And go check out lots more sites for WW!!
I found this awesome art-deco pearl and rhinestone bracelet a few weeks ago at a local flea market. It was at the bottom of bucket along with some tools! Sweet, huh!

Hi Gale, I have loved pearls all my life. In the 80's I always had a strand around my neck. Now I just wear the bracelets and rings. All of your pearls are gorgeous and anytime you would like to pass them on to me...I'm open to it.lol I adore that little baby shoe with the pearls. Oh so pretty, along with all your pictures here. Love the statues!!!

It's funny - I've never been a fan of pearls and yet I love them in settings, on other people, as vintage items - I can't figure out why - I love the different color tones - the beiges, the creams and pinks - strange isn't it? Beautiful post.
Gale, these are just stunning, I especially love that pink pearl bracelet. I gave each of our daughters a strand of pearls for their wedding day. Just love them!
love ya,
Debra
