Spelling it out with style

s.w.a.k.jpg

Girlie post alert!

I've stumbled upon a couple of delightful pieces of jewelry, and since they are tangentially related to reading, I'm sharing them with you. If you need a little more testosterone in your reading material, I'll try to get Dave to write a review of one of the many books on baseball we've been receiving lately.

Until then, you're stuck with Pretty Things that Nancy Likes.

Item 1: This beautiful necklace I just bought at Doubledutch Boutique in Hampden. It's a LETTER, in an ENVELOPE. Delivered by a pretty brass bird. It's just about the cutest way to let your favorite reader know you love her.

Item 2: This one's a bit more equal-opportunity. My good friend Miss James, formerly of the BaltAmour blog, presented me with a birthday necklace this summer, with beautiful floral scenes painted on the back of Scrabble tiles. Of course, I completely geeked out all over the place.

While I'm not entirely sure which store she purchased mine from, there are many gorgeous tiles to be found on etsy.com, including at It's All About the Print.

I'm sure that very soon, ever aspect of my life will be covered in letters. I think I'm OK with that.

Oh, and also? GO TERPS!
