Princess for a Day

It's been a very busy week for me because not only did the C.O.D. Spring Semester end, I also attended a graduation dinner and awards ceremony for the COD Radiography program, where I helped my friend and colleague present some awards [Editor's note: Just call me "Vana"], AND journeyed to Governors State University to deliver two health-related presentations as a part of their Changing the Face of Medicine traveling Library exhibition celebration. WHEW! When I arrived home late Saturday afternoon, I was feeling a bit ragged around the edges as the "let down" phase hit me.

My spirits were INSTANTLY boosted, however, when I opened my mailbox and saw that my bridal tiara and jewelry set had arrived! HUZZAH! I only ordered it on Wednesday--talk about fast delivery. Since my dress is rather unconventional, I decided not to wear a veil and, instead, wear a gold tiara with matching jewelry. After all, 'tis my special day, so why not be a totally pretty princess? *thoughtful look* Although, upon further contemplation and for the sake of being completely honest, I'm not sure about the pretty part nor do I really have a claim to royalty....hmmm....*shrug* OK, let's just say that I now get to be a really hip chic in an awesome tiara on my wedding day! *grin and a giggle*

Here is the tiara:

And here is the jewelry set with a close up of the necklace:

The flower motif is very similar to the flower pattern in a cream brocade fabric that I want used in my dress as well as the decorative pattern on our hexagonal wedding cake.

What say you M'Lords and M'Ladies? Doth they please thine eyes?
