Project Object #1

Jewelry box sold to me as an herb box. It's the blues and whites that appeal to me--I've always had blue bedrooms, in every house I've ever lived in. Reminds me of traveling, reminds me that I don't have to be grounded in a way that's limiting. I can house or nest, but keep my head in the clouds or thinking of the next thing to do. 
Since it's small too, I don't feel tempted to buy more jewelry. My mother's mother collected charms, wore charm bracelets and you could hear her coming. She exclusively wore navy, black, and browns too. I imagine her sometimes and think about having some kind of "signature" piece, having something that's distinctly me. I wonder if that's still a practice in our culture or if it's somehow compromising to have a "thing" be a part of your identity, but there's something romantic or alluring about the idea of being "herd" coming. 
I'd love to see these necklaces popping out of the drawers.
