[Love in Bloom]

Oh yeah, we must know the story...

Love the ring, the masks, and that tiny jewelry box is so pretty!

 

[vita*dolce]

oooh, the story.... well, it was given to my mom''s god-mother for her 16th birthday, and she gave it to my mom for her 16th, and my mom gave it to me on my 16th. my sister has been livid that it wasn''t given to her for the past 8 years, but this year i decided to get her one for her birthday since she loves it so much, and i found one that was strikingly similar, so now we have twins!

anyway, i love it so much, and wear it almost everyday. i love that it''s been such a big part of my family! if i ever have girls, i''ll pass it on to one of them. tradition, ya know?
