For my most recent birthday, my fabulous kids bought me a lovely silver and turquoise necklace as they know how much I love turquoise. And my love affair with turquoise actually began when I was a teenager when a very close friend bought me a gorgeous turquoise ring which I still have. She bought it for me at a festival and I have great memories of that time and life in general. I was on my way to adulthood and there wasn't much of that teenage angst. I had great mates and fun times, life was good. Every time I look at that ring, The memories of that stage in my life come flooding back, so it's definitely one of the most precious things that I own.
What is the most memorable and cherished gift you've ever been given?
For my thirtieth birthday I got a beautiful vintage taupe silk dress that was given to me by my aunt. It was just perfect for my birthday afternoon tea party with friends who I had known for such a long time. Whenever I look at that dress I have memories of a great birthday with totally amazing people. But the dress has extra special significance. It was the last gift my aunt gave me before she passed away. The dress reminds me of her and I will treasure it forever. ❤️
