Green Community: Camelot

Yesterday, Mr. Sweet Greens, Eben and myself spent the afternoon at the theater. We were sent tickets to see Camelot (The Musical) from one of our local theater companies. It was fabulous and we really enjoyed it. I am always amazed to see artists perform for three hours straight and be spot on the entire time. The cast was extremely talented, the score was fab and it was a lovely way to spend the afternoon.

Do you support your local performing arts?

Earth Friendly Etsy: Yellow Finch Designs Recycled Jewlery Giveaway


I have had a long time love affair with vintage jewelry. I remember being a young girl and looking through my Mother’s jewelry box and admiring and trying on all of her silver jewelry from the 1960’s and 1970’s. I thought they were so beautiful and fun. As an adult, I love to visit my Nana’s house {Jayson’s dear grandmother} and look through her beautiful collection of Tiffany jewelry. She has so many lovely and fabulous pieces. If you read Sweet Greens on a daily basis then you know all about my love of vintage jewelry, you can read about it here.
