The kids head back to college this week. It's bittersweet. Yay for them, they like being around the friends they don't get to see during the summer..... but the house is always so quiet once they go back. Not that they're loud, but people make noise you know. Water running while brushing teeth, taking a shower, doing laundry. Various sounds from phones, computers, stereos and game systems. Teasing. Me because they're so much taller than I am, each other because they can. It just gets quiet.
But because it's back to school, it means I've been busy with birthdays and paperwork and melting things lol
I had the pleasure of being featured in a treasury and one of the other featured shops featured the treasury on her blog and of course me too :) Yay me! So...... go take a peek!!!

August = Peridot
Rough start to the month, my in-laws seem to be imploding, 'nuff said.
AUGUST! The month of my birth! Peridot and Gladiolas. As you can see though, Peridot was not always THE stone to wear......
For most of the 15th through 20 centuries the stones for the month of August were as follows: Sardonyx, Carnelian, Moonstone and Topaz ......hmmm I like Moonstone! As long as we're on the subject, I like Topaz too!.......
Then in 1912 all save the Sardonyx were dropped and Peridot was added.
Finally in 2013 Peridot became the sole stone for the month of August.
I like Peridot, I do, I'm just saying maybe we could give Moonstone another chance GRINS
I have in my shop TWO items in peridot, and many more green in color.
pssst I have Moonstone too! and Topaz!

Wear a sardonyx or for thee,
No conjugal felicity;
The August-born without this stone,
`Tis said, must live unloved and lone.
