Day 97 - blue diamonds

These were definitely another present from my grandmother. And a familiar diamond shape in a familiar arrangement, although this one goes up to 4, not just 3, and not quite 11.

I had actually been wondering where these were. I did a vague stock take a few weeks ago, trying to work out which earrings I'd worn and which I hadn't and suddenly realised these weren't on the mesh. Which was odd. And I love these so I started to worry. Then the other day we moved into the theatre for the play I'm in that opens next week (A Midsummer Night's Dream; I may have mentioned it a couple times) so I dusted off the old cosmetic bag to transport the reams of stuff you need to be on stage. I hadn't emptied it since the last play I did, which was the end-of-year pantomime the Masque did last year, Once Upon a Time.com. There were four pairs of earrings in there.

I find earrings everywhere it seems. This challenge is so going down!

Day 96 - Harry Potter

OK, obviously these aren't actually Harry Potter. But they are lightning bolts, so I consider them to be my Harry Potter earrings. My nice geeky Harry Potter earrings. Which came in handy this evening since I was going to a geek party:

Day 95 - gold rings

I'm a big fan of these earrings: big and ostentatious, just the way I like 'em, but also light enough to wear for long periods and they make a lovely tinkling sound when I shake my head.

Day 94 - pink feathers

Fairy earrings! Well, in as much as they are similar in feel to the costumes that the fairies wear in A Midsummer Night's Dream. We had a full dress rehearsal tonight and holy crap! This show is b-e-a-Utiful! I don't think I've been in a show before when I've been this excited for an audience. I've been in awesome shows at the Masque (this is my seventh), but there's something special about this one. Next week Friday can't come fast enough.

Day 93 - purple mother of pearl

These are a pretty pair. They go with quite a lot because they are mother of pearl and so have a range of quite different colours in them.

I seem to recall that I got them from a friend in Grahamstown. The same friend who, coincidentally, just sent me this true story:

Day 92 - S fronds

I didn't post these yesterday (a serious slip on my part for which I am so sorry). In my defence, we had our first rehearsal on the stage last night for the seriously stunning show that I am serendipitously a part of: A Midsummer Night's Dream (on at Masque Theatre from 12 to 20 June!).

Here's a sample of the splendid sartorial sights that are in store:

Day 91 - peacocks

I think I also bought these from Cape to Cuba when I bought my blue circles from waaaaay back on Day 6.

Today I was very much wearing them in a vain attempt to pretend that winter has not well and truly arrived in Cape Town. The weather finally forced me to wear long sleeves and closed shoes this morning, which means even I have finally had to admit that the Starks were right all along. I shouldn't really complain (though I will), because it is June. We had an amazingly long Indian summer throughout April and May so we have been very spoiled this year. I can only hope the winter will be a short one and I can be back in shorts and slip slops by September. Wishful thinking.
