Day 30: Jewelry

Most of this jewelry I never wear.  Some of it was a poor purchase choice on my part, but a good bit of it was given to me without me actually in mind.  One of my grandmothers in particular is a repeated offender in this.  Each Christmas, she sends five things: one thing for each Olinde grandson and three of the same thing--in different colors--for the granddaughters.  The selection is hit or miss.  I love the watch she sent one year, and the purse from another year, but most of the necklaces she sends just aren't my style.  Let's be honest, anything from HSN probably isn't so much my style.  So, I have two choices: hold on to everything I get, in the spirit of being a good and grateful granddaughter, or let the unused pieces go, still grateful for the love but not necessarily the necklaces themselves.

Choice made.
