I have never posted a picture of myself on this site before. I’m shy like that. In fact in a few days (or maybe in a few hours) you might return to this site and the photo will be removed—because, like I said, I’m shy like that.
But for now I have decided to post a picture of myself. Why? Because I received a package from the very talented Crystal B. the other day and inside was a yo-yo (a yo-yo being a very cute headband). I showed my friend the yo-yo and she asked, “When you wear the yo-yo, will you please take a picture of yourself wearing it and send it to me so I will know how to wear it?”
“Sure,” I replied.
So with no further ado.
Here is the yo-yo from an aerial view:
And not only am I wearing a yo-yo in the above photo, but I also have on another piece from Crystal B. I am wearing a lovely double-chained necklace from her shoppe. It is one of my favorites. The blue brightens most any outfit I wear. And I love the little birds which are holding the strand of blue flowers. Very vintage and fun.
Okay, enough about me. Rather, let's focus on Crystal B. and her gorgeous jewelry! Here are just a few more favorites (and by a few I mean several because there are just too many to choose from):
Dainty little gems aren't they?
I happen to own this "queen bee" bracelet and I just adore it. It really is so unique and it is the most perfect shade of pretty pink
Aren't these bobbi pins just fun and whimsical?
This vintage brass carousel actually has horses that turn, so cute.
Oh, Crystal B., how we love your jewelry!

Kiery Wilson
Kiery Wilson: my hair is extra long, brown with a little wave to it. I love it! I just wish I worked somewhere where I could leave it down!
Lindsay Leach - (I must first admit that I vainly looked into the mirror before adding my description). My hair is a deep dark brown. I tend to keep it long b/c my boyfriend loves it like that & so do I. It's naturally wavy, but I like to straighten it for a sleeker look. I love it right now...except that I'd like to get some bangs in with the layers. :)
Kiery Wilson: I love the Dion bracelet! as well as the necklace for Nie Nie
Elizabeth Eyler: I would love the Collier-Laura necklace--so dainty and pretty!
Elizabeth Eyler: My hair is long, very straight, and dark. I love it long and hanging loose, although I generally wear it up in a bun at work to keep it out of the way.

Leilani Villegas
Leilani Villegas: love the necklaces: calandra, collete, nanette

Cori Platt: My hair is brown with blond highlights and is shoulder lenth. It's layered and I'm trying to grow out my bangs, so I'm not sure if I love it right now!!
Crystal Marx
I love the Petite Fleur Adelle Earrings and the Bobbi No 31 and the Collier Gabriella and the Bracelet Dion...need I go on?

Kimberly G.
Crystal Marx. Done.

Nancy Rogers--status quo
Jennifer Matthews
Lisa Boshell: I like the tiny flower studs. So sweet.
Jeanne Gwin: As I grow older it is more and more difficult to find the hairstyle that is attractive and up to date but appropriate for my age. I have settled on a style similar to Crystals. And like Crystal, my hair has lots of "No Ooompf" so the yo yo bands would be great for me. I love this style and probably won't ever go back to perms and aggravation!!
Lisa Boshell: My hair is brown, straight and thin! But I just got a bob and it's pretty dang cute.

Kimberly G. My hair is down to my waist & it's reddish Wavy/curly. I wish it was straight & love it when I straighten it. But it's way too thick & gets tangled all the time.

Dillon Sostrom
Jennifer Matthews - My hair is dark brown and long I do like it at this length but I am in dire need of a trim. I usually curl my hair or leave it straight.
Linsey Gines
Lynne Marie Jacobs
I am Kendra Goodrich, and I currently sport a short "mommy do" to accommodate my crazy life with a toddler and newborn. It is short, dark brown and curls slightly at the bottom (not because I've had any time to curl it, but that's how it looks after a quick shower and some mousse. It looks great, takes zero time to do and is keeping me pretty cool in this hot weather. Who could ask for better hair?
Lynne Marie Jacobs - I would love hte Dion bracelet, bobbis 31, the cute red & pearl earrings....so many cute things!

Linsey Gines: Collier-Emily

Lindsay Samples: My hair is the longest it has been in years, but with an 18 month old it is easier to pull it back out of my face this way.
