I wasn''t sure if this should be hangout or SMTR, but since it''s not MY bling I thought hangout was a good compromise.

I spent part of the holiday weekend at my friend''s. Her husband is studying to be a chef and cooked us this RIDICULOUS amazing breakfast.....eggs florentine (the best hollendaise sauce I''ve had in my life), waffles from scratch, bacon, etc. Honestly, he has always been an amazing cook, but after this year at Cordon Bleu he''s out of this world! We also sampled some opera cakes and other pastries he''s been making in baking class. HOLY MOLY.

After breakfast, we were looking through random pictures and my friend mentioned that she''d tried to get a good shot of another friend''s e-ring. I (being the PS dork that I am) commented after seeing the blurry pic, "oh cool, east-west marquise with a micro-pave halo and 3-sided pave shank!") At which point they both stared at me for a moment like I''d forgotten to take my meds or something

Kidding--they know I''m a jewlery whore. But she was lamenting that she didn''t take good bling shots and I explained the macro thing.....and took one with her camera to show her, and that was it. She then pulled out the jewelry box and I went to town doing a photo shoot with some of her fabulous collection!!! FUN FUN FUN FUN for me!!!!!!

Her lovely wedding set: a .91 (I think) RB from T&Co with channel-set eternity band

An INSANE pear that belonged to her grandmother. It has no bowtie and sparkles like mad.

Oh, those were rose-cut melee in the previous sapphire ring, btw.

And here are 3 generations of bling:

Well I''m psychotic for eggs benedict, and I''m sure that Florentine is similar...I''d happily marry whoever would could make a really good eggs benedict for me.

Now food and bling. Doesn''t get better then that. And the rings are gorgeous, gorgeous. Thanks for sharing them with us!

Hee hee--eagle-eyed Kaleigh.......

It looks great, huh? (If I say so myself) I have LOTS AND LOTS of shots to put in my thread, but.....it''s like I''m procrastinating starting my own RHR thread......I have to resize a TON of pictures, but I will get it up there, I PROMISE!!!!!! (These pics were already small so I was lazy.)

what gorgeous stuff!!

Eggs benedict is my all time indulgent breakfast because it is really the only breakfast food I do not make myself. (though I rarely make waffles either, love them too!)

I LOVE hollandaise and bernaise too...add that to bling and I am a happy girl! (I think brunch is my favorite meal!)

shut UP! Your hands are by no means nasty! Especially when they''re adorned with all those fabulous rings! Thank you so much for the eye candy, and even the breakfast food shots, although I am so not a breakfast eater (don''t tell my mom!). My favorite was the diamond surrouded by emeralds and diamonds, even if one emerald was missing. Love them all, though--thanks again!!!

Ya know what I love more than anything is Bacon. I could live on it. Rarely eat it but god is it yummy. Blueroses, when you feel up to it please start a thread for your fabulous RHR. I think your Aunt would be thrilled at what a great job you did picking out a great setting for her fabulous stone. You will be able to wear this ring and always remember her, keeping her close to you....

.....cause that one''s MINE!!!!!!


I''ve been shrinking down photos forever, but I''m about to go finally start a thread!!!!

(And Kaleigh, I''m telling you, this bacon was insane--better than usual, and bacon is usually AWESOME!!)



Thanks for all the comments, guys--it is so fun for me to have at least one "real life" friend who likes bling too, so I was thrilled she indulged me!!!
