Silver Jewelry

If your little girl is still playing dress up in your heels, know that it won't last long. When she's 10 or 11, you'll begin to notice her growing disdain for....well, everything about you.  After that the last thing she's going to do is borrow your clothes. Whatever your body mass index, whatever your style, she'll never leave the house wearing your jeans. 

Anyway, the generations living in my house never met in my closet, but if you have a daughter, one thing you should know is that one day she will come for your jewelry.

Looking at her tangle of knotted chains, loose beads and frayed leather bands, she will remember the box hidden away in your bedroom. Your stuff, your heavy sterling silver pieces wrapped in felt and your gold keepsakes. Bracelets. Necklaces. Earrings. A little rush of understanding will come up and she will suddenly know what 200 grams of sterling silver will do for skinny jeans.

You're little girl is growing up. ~ Carolyn in Mexico.
