A Little Sapphire Blue Celebration


Last Thursday was our 32nd anniversary.
I know!  Hard to believe!



The Mister gave me this white and blue sapphire bracelet.
Beautiful, huh!? 
Sometimes he gets me gorgeous things and other times
I have to say thank you and then later admit that I wouldn't be 
caught dead in it.  Has that ever happened to you? :) 
Thankfully, he would rather I did an exchange and get something I loved.
But this time I loved what he picked!  And that is how it usually
is, but there have been a few exchanges over the years. lol...


I also got a dozen of these....
love the color!


I added to The Mister's vintage watch collection.
This one is from the 1950's.
He likes watches like I like bracelets!
And I guess we both had blue in mind....

  1. Happy anniversary to you both! Both presents are really gorgeous. And funny for the blue colour :-) we are married for 22 years but I doubt that hubby even remembers the date ... lol. So no presents here. I would love flowers though ... awww. Love your roses too! Enjoy your bracelet :-)!

  2. Happy Anniversary! Both your presents for each other are gorgeous. So now you can move on to tackle the next 32 years. Then there will be only one year left to your Iron Wedding...

    1. Your poor little one! How are his teeth healing?

      Delete
    2. Oh thanks for remembering. He still has to wear a dental protection as they are still bit loose maybe another months or two, so I have to blend all his food ... but the good news is that xray did show it is healing nicely and there is no infection! So I try to concentrate on this great news to try to keep the good vibes ... :-)

    3. That's wonderful news! Isn't it amazing that they can be loose but heal back up with some time and care? Glad it's going well!

    1. Thank you, Deb. It's always a little crazy nestled into all the Christmas stuff, but
      nice to celebrate anyway!

  7. You two are so sweet and so much alike with the gifts.
    The worst gift that hubby gave me, was a olive green rain suit, bib overalls and jacket. I kept it and our son wore to hunting!

    1. Not as easy to do if it's your spouse
      and he lives in your house.
      Might as well say it's not right
      and get it out of your sight. hahaha....

    1. He did do very well. :)

      He has collected old watches for years and it is a fun thing to do. He only gets ones that
      run well and wears a different one every day!

  23. 32 years? Surely you must be talking about your birthday and not your anniversary because you look much to young to have been married that long. Congrats!
