For the big ring fans. If this isn’t your thing, scroll on. 😊

Present from my husband - and I love it. 🥰 It is 11 ctw, I have had the middle stone for awhile, but 2 side stones were added for each of our daughters.

Not asking for opinions on it being too big.

My grandmother died two years ago and left me seventeen boxes of doilies she'd crocheted over forty years, each one wrapped in tissue paper with a date written in pencil on the back. Some were from the seventies, intricate pineapple patterns she made while watching soap operas. Others were from the nineties when her arthritis was getting bad and the stitches got looser, less perfect. I didn't know what to do with them because they felt too precious to use as actual doilies but too important to leave in boxes in my attic where nobody would ever see them.

My living room has this one long wall that's always been empty because I could never afford the kind of art that felt meaningful enough to hang there, and one night I was unpacking another box of her doilies and crying a little bit because I missed her so much it physically hurt. I started thinking about how she spent all those hours making beautiful things that nobody really looked at anymore, just functional objects that sat under lamps or got stained with coffee rings. She deserved better than that. Her work deserved to be seen.

I bought wooden embroidery hoops in different sizes from someone who makes them from reclaimed wood, and I started stretching her doilies inside them like little pieces of lace art. Painted that wall deep teal because white felt too stark, and then spent an entire weekend arranging and rearranging seventeen doilies until the pattern felt right. When I finally stepped back and looked at the whole wall together, I started sobbing because it looked like my grandmother's hands had created this enormous mandala of time and patience and love that had been invisible until now.

People keep asking where I got them and I tell them about Grandma, about how she made each one by hand with thread that cost almost nothing. I started selling my own framed vintage doilies through a shop because it turns out a lot of us inherited boxes of our grandmothers' handiwork and didn't know how to honor it properly. Every time I look at that wall I can almost

My friends and I went out for dinner, and we left $20 tip on a $250 bill. The waiter didn't take it well and told us we shouldn't be going out to eat if we can't afford to tip at least 50%. Now we're wondering if $20 isn't really enough. That 20 bucks was all the extra we had.

My mom left me this dresser when she died and I can't stop staring at it tonight trying to figure out if I'm about to make the biggest mistake of my life. She kept her yarn in these drawers, all organized by color and weight, and she'd sit right here working on custom crochet doll orders from her shop. I'd come over after work and she'd be measuring out patterns, her reading glasses sliding down her nose, completely absorbed in getting the proportions exactly right for whatever character someone had requested.

I started seeing someone I met on a dating site three weeks ago. First date went well, he came back to my place for coffee, and the second he saw this dresser he said I should either get rid of it or paint it. Just like that, casual as commenting on the weather. Said the wood was too dark and dated for the space. I smiled and said maybe, sure, but the minute he left I sat on my bedroom floor and sobbed for an hour. This dresser holds every memory of watching my mom work, of learning from her, of the quiet afternoons when her hands moved and we didn't need to talk.

Now he's texting about our next date and all I can think about is whether painting it would somehow erase her. Would it still be her dresser if it's white or gray instead of this honey pine she polished every Sunday? The logical part of me knows paint doesn't change history, doesn't make her less present in these drawers that still smell faintly of wool and lavender sachets. But there's this other part that feels like he's asking me to sand away the visible proof she existed here.

I found this woman who restores vintage furniture and asked her opinion. She said furniture holds the energy of who used it regardless of finish, that sometimes a fresh coat actually honors the piece by keeping it functional and loved instead of relegated to storage. But she also said if painting it feels wrong in my gut, that's my answer. I don't know what I'm going to tell him. I just know I'm not ready to hear someone I barely know tell me what to do with the last

I am seeking honest opinions on a $15 dress from the 70’s that I found at Goodwill. Although my friends dislike it, I am drawn to its unique character and the historical context of being made by women in a U.S. women’s union. Given its affordability, I would appreciate unbiased feedback, as I want to look beautiful on my wedding day and am concerned that the dress may appear matronly.

To the woman in the Hobby Lobby bathroom. If my hands weren’t full of children I would have applauded you. As your son gave you the back talk of the century, you stayed calm and collected while adding 10 more push ups to his already growing number. We need more parents like you, who aren’t afraid to parent their own children because of what someone else might think. He said “Mama, this is the bathroom floor, grossssss”. She said “maybe you shouldn’t have been acting obnoxious. (They have soap for a reason.) 10 more.” Random woman of Hobby Lobby, I love you. 🙌🏼💖 Keep on raisin’ them boys right! -I have since found the Mom through the power of social media and she promptly thanked me for posting this, says she appreciates the support and positive comments, and we’re hoping to grab coffee sometime... while supervising push ups that is. 😉

MOB Dress Help🌹🥰
I apologize in advance because I'm having a hard time deciding what to wear.
My sister is getting married the first week of November in Las Vegas. The wedding will be held outside at 3pm in a beautiful garden with an indoor reception. Her colors are burgundy and shades ranging from blush/rose gold to pink and mauve. This is important because I want my dress colors to "stick together". My sister doesn't like "regular" MOB dresses (she says they're too flashy), but she wants me to wear something in her color scheme. I feel a little uncomfortable because I don't like blush/pink/rose gold against my skin tone, but I also feel like I shouldn't wear burgundy because that's the color of the bridal party dress. The US is semi-formal/casual dress code. Am I overthinking it? I've narrowed it down to a few different styles. Just trying to figure out if I'm heading in the right direction
