Hello, HELLO! It’s time to link up for the Inspiration Workshop!, where each Thursday we meet to share our take on the weekly prompt for a little added inspiration. Thanks to everyone who’s here to join in with the linky party — I’m soooo glad you’re loving the workshop :]

THE PROMPT ~
This week’s prompt is YOUR INSPIRATION ~ where you pick the prompt/share whatever you’d like! I’m especially excited to see the topic you select AND to read through and pin some of the photos you share ;]

MY INSPIRATION ~
The prompt I chose for this week was JEWELRY! I am very much a “less is more” gal, so below are some of my favorites, aka: the pieces I find myself wearing the most…

button button bracelet by Lisa Leonard

itty bitty flowers headband by Gussy Sews


rosette bud earrings by Allora Handmade

linen love necklace by Pretty Things by Meg

my engagement + wedding rings

I’ve noticed that while I loooooove to look at jewelry I don’t feel comfortable wearing a lot. Is that weird? Or do you feel the same way, too? {please say you do.} Want to know something silly about me? I think big, chunky plastic rings are F U N! Any time we’re at Forever 21 you know I take a look at their selection. Hah!< How about you? What piece(s) of jewelry are you in love with?

NOW IT’S YOUR TURN!
Join the linky party below with your interpretation of the prompt you chose by sharing your blog post with us!

Gussy Sews Inspiration Workshop!

    Thank you for the party! I love jewelry and I only like to wear a couple of things at one time–so maybe we are both weird?:) My favorite pieces are my wedding band and a silver pendant I have had for over 20 years.

    I don’t own a ton of jewelry, so I don’t wear it much. I have a favorite green ring that I bought when I visited Romania and I have a Mercy House Kenya necklace that I wear a lot. Oh, I also have a wooden bead necklace wrapped in fabric that I love to wear….so easy to make as well.

    I used to be a sign language interpreter so I couldn’t wear any gaudy {you could also replace that word with–fun, quirky, sparkly, glittery, or not-boring} rings or jewelry…hence why I didn’t have any. Now that I’m not doing that anymore, I am having fun bulking up my jewelry collection. The Allora Handmade earrings are on my wish list for my birthday! ;-)
    Have an awesome day!

    i don’t wear a lot either. I only wear my wedding ring and another ring on my right ring finger! I switch out rings because I just inherited beautiful rings that were my Grandma Alice’s! I had them cleaned and resized!

    I also buy earrings that are classic and can go with several things. I’m simple, not flashy!

    I have bought a few pieces from Lia Sophia, big silver earrings of different shapes.

    I also love the piece I got from Everyday Keepsakes with the sewing machine. Love it!

    I’m away visiting family and while I have some sewing that I brought along, I think this is the first Inspiration Workshop I failed at and didn’t post… bummer. I love your jewelry inspiration, your button bracelet is perfect… I, too, am a less-is-more gal. While I have a few simple pieces I gravitate towards, I will, on occasion, switch to something a little more bold… but tend to feel awkward, like I’m not being myself… I’m much happier pairing fun and pretty accessories like bags and wallets to myself than jewelry…. go figure! :-)

    LOVE your inspiration Gussy! I don’t wear a lot either. Actually pretty much the same as yours, I wear the necklace and bracelets I made, my wedding ring and that is about it on a daily basis! I have that necklace in mustard from Meg too! LOVE inspiration workshop!!!

    I used to work for a Swarovski, so I own a lot of jewelry. On a daily basis, I only wear a few pieces that I love – my wedding ring (which is also my engagement ring) and a pair of stud earrings. I own statement pieces, but feel most comfortable wearing something simple and understated.

    I also love to look at all the beautiful jewelry out there, yet I wear very little.

    I am glad there is someone I can relate to! Most of the time jewelry is annoying for me to wear and most days I just have earrings (a gift from my husband when we were dating) and my wedding ring on! Then if we go somewhere I put on a cute bracelet, different earrings and another ring (that goes with the everyday earrings he gave me.) By the time I get home I can’t wait to get them off! I wish I was comfortable in jewelry because there is always such cute stuff I would love to wear. I’d love that sewing machine necklace that you have posted about, I just know I wouldn’t wear it! Ugh. :)

    I was just having the same exact thought a few minutes ago when I was getting dressed. I have tons of jewelry and love to look at it… but I don’t pile it on. I have a personal rule about not wearing jewelry on more than 3 body parts at a time (yeah I know that sounds weird). I feel to worn down if I have something on everywhere. Usually its earrings, bracelet, ring. In that case I won’t put a necklace on. (I don’t count my wedding band because I don’t take it off.) I am a huge fan of chunky rings and statement bracelets. Also depends on what I’m wearing.

    P.S. I am supper excited about next weeks prompt because I happen to be leaving tomorrow to stay at a beach house.

    It’s perfect time to make a few plans for the long run and
    it’s time to be happy. I have read this put
    up and if I may just I desire to counsel you few fascinating things
    or advice. Maybe you can write next articles relating to this article.

    I desire to read more issues about it!
