Tanks, Peacocks, and Vintage Jewelry.

Holy cow! It's been a very long time since I've blogged here! In mid November, I moved out into the sticks (funny, because I always swore I'd move to the city.) I love it here, minus the fact that I live like a mile from Fort Knox's firing range. What does this mean? Tanks roll down a street parallel to mine. I may be "out in the country", so to speak, but it's not nearly as quiet as one would think. Growing up, I could hear the echo of the tanks firing at my parents house, even though it was in the center of town. You get used to it after a while, so its not that bad...

Living next to the range is like 100 times worse, though! My walls shake sometimes, which is both sad and hilarious. Gotta love the newlywed "starter home"! It doesn't really bother me anymore... I've adapted, but when friends come to visit on training days (the days when the tanks are at the firing range) they freak out. It makes for great conversation :-)

On the plus side of all this, my neighbors have peacocks, and they frequently hang out in my yard. Pretty! Also, there aren't any street lights around here, so the sky looks amazing on clear nights. The peacocks, the stars, and the all around calmness of living away from the city makes the tanks SOOOO worth it.

Alright, now back to vintage. I just got a ton of new jewelry. I can't wait to get it all cleaned up and listed. Its mostly bracelets (both clamper and bangle), and chunky plastic bead necklaces. I'm sure hubby is THRILLED to see new jewelry...haha. He was so excited that I cleared a bunch of my stuff out. Little did he know that I was just making room for new stuff. ;-)

I'll try to have the majority of it listed in a week, maybe two, depending on what's going on in the real world.
