Syttende Mai! {and OOD 5.17.09: Green and Gold}



First of all today, May 17th,  is a national holiday in Norway celebrating the signing of Norway's Constitution in 1814.  I am of a very Norwegian background and though Hubby was born in Denmark, he is half Norwegian.  So, Happy Syttende Mai!

Maybe I should be sporting red and blue, but I am already dressed and have about 15 minutes before we're off to church, so green and gold it is today.  The gold bracelet I purchased at Target yesterday... they seem to be re-doing their jewlery wall... simple silver tags on the jewelry, new designs trickling in.  I tried on this new stretch beaded bracelet and it was a must-have.  I love the textured, aged, hand-made look.  I can't find it online but on the back it says "Bracelet Gold/10817" and it was $12.99.

Happy Sunday!

    Jemma Ruby - LOL yes! I was surprised to see yours too!! Supposedly I have a distant relative who's signature is on that Constitution or some document to do with it... I think that's the story anyway! :) Oh and thank you for the compliment :)
    mrs.a - thanks - I have not gotten the TB Reva Esp. yet but they are next on my list!! :) I think I saw the necklace you are talking about too... very nice! :)

    They were just emptying the jewelry wall last time I was in Target. Now I know why! I will have to look for that bracelet. I love it! Hope you had a great weekend!
