Pilgrim

There is one store locally I cannot pass without going "just looking" .... ok who am I kidding - I usually end up buying something, hence my need to make a detour sometimes simply to avoid it :o) Oh darn, now I can also find it at an airport, where I often have to kill time.

They sell Pilgrim jewellery - one of my weak spots. I have several rings and necklaces from Pilgrim (think I bought my first piece in 2003), but the piece currently around my neck has been there for the past 2½ years, not likely to be changed to something else anytime soon. The latest passion is charms for a bracelet... and I just browsed their website... really shouldn't have done that!!

I already own a silver Buddha charm and a pink/gold scooter charm - both relating to something I love, but now I spotted a pink handbag charm, a pine cone charm and a deer charm and a.... uhu! Hopefully I don't see them in a store anytime soon, as I will just have to buy them - LOL :o) There are other charms, that I find nice - but they are not something shouting out my personality, which they need to do if I am to wear them.

Now, what is your weak spot, when it comes to something girly...??

And there it was.....

I just walked by a store in an area of the city, I don't usually go to....and there it was... my scooter.... Have forgotten all about it - and just seeing this in the window brought back childhood memories...... I just had to buy it - and it didn't cost much :o)

Remember bugging my parents and family to give me one of these, but noooo - got a red firetruck, a red London bus etc... but never the scooter.... I loved red... and I loved scooters ever since I watched the movie "Roman Holiday" with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck on tv - makes me smile when I see the scooters on the streets in Italy - and when scooters in general just had their renaissance a couple of years ago: everywhere you looked the Vespas ruled.
