What are you looking forward to right now?

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Getting my cheery amber strung
Its been on a slow burner but ive desided its my next repair
I brought it as a set 5 years ago but the earings and braclete were ugly and the necklace too short
it was originally one long necklace someone chopped up to make into two sets
im thinking what i paid recouped her cost
The braclete was so ugly with gross fake gold findings and the ugliest earings ive ever seen and the necklace had ugly tiny dull garnets between the amber - but i adore the amber
Anyway im looking forward to wearing this, this winter as a longer necklace

My beloved sisters and I all live far apart so each year we have a weekend getaway together and it’s in May! Really excited to see them.

Going out with my kids to do fun stuff that we haven’t done for the last 2 years

I look forward to dining out again as soon as it's warm enough to enjoy outdoor seating.

This morning I was looking forward to the one cup of coffee a day I'm permitted (acid reflux and anxiety).

Tomorrow I get another ear piercing. I think I'm done after this

I think I said this about a month ago, but I'm still waiting for, and looking forward to some warm weather!

This might be the first time for me mentioning this here - but we're currently clearing out and closing down our little Opal home business due to opportunities in other areas at the moment that we've had. 6 years of operating for us but with life going in it's current direction, it's time for us to pull down the shutters for now on our little business. We may come back to it one day but we just don't have the time anymore to give it what it deserves. This isn't bad news by any means, just that we have limited hours in a week to do everything and we are finding that gradually there is more for us to do and less time than previously to do it.

As pleasurable as running the business has been, I have always had it in the back of my mind with things I need to get done and deadlines etc causing myself more stress than I probably need to give myself tbh.
I'm looking forward to the first day where I can wake up and not have to think about upcoming cutting jobs, social media, shipping etc. But with so much stock to clear out and other things going on - it won't be for a little while yet.

A 9D summer holiday with my 2 boys in end July.
Too many destinations - can’t decide yet!

Looking forwards to getting a text from my SA telling me the earrings I paid for have finally arrived

Moving into our new home & welcoming our baby which is due this summer! We've been trying for months to snag a home here but where we live the housing market was already so expensive, but we put in one last offer & got it! It's within walking distance to our oldest's elementary & has the cutest neighborhood club with a pool, pond for Littles and playground.

I was raised on a ranch, basically and so having a backyard was important to me. This home comes with some land, lots of old growth trees and cherry, plum, and raspberries! Theres even a stream running through it. I plan to grow a lot of our food! It will be a learning experience! The owners also purchased a new salt water hot tub just months before they decided to move so that will be so nice.

It feels like after so much patience & trials & tribulations, our family is moving into another Era of our life and it feels so sweet. The home will be our place to till it and the baby is the culmination, the first fruit of it.

Congratulations @LemonMoonLex! Enjoy this happy time in your life with your husband, child and the new baby when he or she arrives. Jewelry is nice but nothing can compare to the happiness you are describing. This new home sounds like a perfect place to raise your children and make beautiful memories with your family. I’m so happy for you.

Hold tight! You'll get there. We've finally got some sun AND it's reached the 60s today. I'm in heaven!

Looking forward to the new part of motorway Transmissions gully
Its at least 3 generations in waiting
We used to live at what is now the very end of it
all those years living o
Two street back from the motorway but having no on or off ramp for 5km in both directions was very frustrating

 

[jordyonbass]

Thanks @MamaBee and @Garnetgirl !!

I'm still going to be cutting at home but it's all for my own personal collection now, might even be able to share some of the beauties in my own collection if @Ella gives her blessing one day! (might not be allowed just yet )

 

[MamaBee]

I’m looking forward to two things! I’m going on our first vacation since before Covid.
1. We’re going to the Outer Banks with my son and family. We rented a house on the beach with room for everyone. The boys get us sick so I hope we don’t get sick this time! Fortunately it’s never been Covid!

2. I’m looking forward to the reset of Winter, my 3.01 F VS1 ACA, in a tapered baguette setting. She’s with David now.

 

[AnastasiaBeaverhausen]

19 days til school's out.

 

[Brigid]

I won the Satsuma vase and now I’m looking forward to it arriving safely so I can add it to my collection!
Unfortunately, the painting sold for hundreds over my expectation & I wasn’t quick enough - not meant to be!

 

[Slickk]

I promise I will share when it arrives!! I’m super excited but also nervous!
School finishing up is almost as exciting as new bling

 

[MamaBee]

Thanks @missy! We leave on Saturday after spending a night at the Maryland house first on Friday. It’s an hour shorter by car from there.
@Slick1 You know you have to spill what you’re getting!

 

[Slickk]

@Slick1 You know you have to spill what you’re getting!

Have a great vacation with the fam!!
@missy and @MamaBee Not sure if I can add LGD stones to the thread of bling we are waiting for? But I’m putting it in a tapered bag setting too! In fact, it’s the same size as your Winter!

Thank you! Not that David this time. David from DbL which is where I bought the stone.
