Earring collection

I have lost my everyday pearl earrings.
Have searches all over but no sign of them. Trying to find another pair to wear so I tipped out my box of earrings & paired them up.
I love dangly earrings but sadly they don’t suit me…I think my ears are too low or my face not long enough!!
Of these ones on the worktop I bet I only wear three pairs of them regularly, all stud ones.

Three good things:
1. A lovely memorial service for the late Duke if Edinburgh this morning.
2. I bought a new ironing board. My old one was heavy, wobbly & noisy. I haven’t used an ironing board for year as I had my ironing press when I did B&B but I got rid of that & had to resort to my about 50 year old stand up one. Might look forward to a bit of ironing now!
3. I have discovered a third Amelanchier tree in our garden….@busylady
Oh dear, did you have the Pearl earrings on your trip? I am the same way, I wear two or three pairs and that’s it. I sure hope you find them!

sorry about your losing the earring Pat, this photo though is really artistic and rather beautiful , Faved

Oh no! I wonder how they have been lost? I like to change my earrings, but don’t bother now as they don’t get seen properly when you have to wear a mask all the time.

What a lovely selection Pat. You seem to like the pearly ones! Peter bought me a selection of coloured pearl earrings for Christmas and almost straightaway I lost one of the backs. Hope you find yours soon, or at least go through the others and wear a different pair every day!

Thank you for your kind words. I know the earrings are in the house somewhere …..I picked them up & put them down somewhere but where…..they could have rolled off wherever I put them. I do tend to wear my Pearl ones every day but also wear the blue stud ones in the top right when it’s summery…my daughter in law in NZ sent me those. I also wear the Pearl ones on the gold stems which are next to the blue ones plus the Pearl small drop ones in the top centre when its a special occasion.
Thank you for the fave Phil!

The fact that you can’t find both I’m hopeful that they are somewhere safe! It’s when you can only find one that there’s a problem! I only tend to a couple of pairs too.

The last time I lost an earring we turned our couch over and guess what..........out fell the earring. One never knows! You have a great assortment of earrings.

A lovely array of earrings Pat -- I have quite a few too , but now they do not look so good on me -- fashion change as well ! So now I always wear my gold hoops and very rarely take them out !! I am sure you will find them when you stop looking Pat !!

Sweet picture....I totally understand as I wear my pearl every day earrings most of the time, though so many others to choose.....
Now my question is.... do you have boxes for them, or do you keep them in one place?
Like your 3 good things 💛💛💛

It’s horrible when we loose our go to earrings. I bet there were some there that you had forgotten about

I am sure you will find your earrings. It is a nuisance when you put them down and can't remember where. Maybe you put them in the pocket of your trousers or somewhere like that.

I keep most of them in a pot all jumbled up. The ones I use mostly live in a glass dish on my bedside table.
I did think I would sort them out & take the ones I don’t wear to the charity shop with other jewellery out worn but then thought how enjoyable it is to root through someone’s collection after they have died…it gives people a sense of the person I think ….I put them all back in the drawer!

Oh do hope you find them. I have so many https://365project.org/boxplayer/365-2021/2021-12-20

But similarly, I usually wear the little silver owl earrings Dave bought me and I got very panicky when I couldn't find them once - I'd had a brainstorm and put them somewhere odd. They live in my little foxy pot now https://365project.org/boxplayer/365-2022/2022-01-20

At least you have a pair of all the earrings. I keep the one that is not lost on a tray -- just in case I find the other! After several years, I've given up hope but just can't throw them out!

Oh, what a lovely selection! I love earrings. It's not good losing a pair, but worse losing one! I lost one on holiday and was so annoyed. Not an expensive one, but still, very frustrating. I remember a few months ago, I was at the golf club, and came back with only earring. I returned to look, I retraced my steps, I put a picture on FB, and then I gave up. Months later, I found that earring in the front pocket of a handbag. It must have fallen in. Couldn't believe it. That was a great start to the day when I put my hand in and came out with the long-missing earring. Never give up!

I have two large plastic containers in my bedroom, they are full of earings made by my late Sister Mo. I've never looked at them, perhaps I should. FAV

@ladymagpie Ooh can we see them?

@jamibann Earrings are so easy to lose too. I seem to always either lose one or loose the back bit if I ever try anything on in the changing cubicle….I always feel if they are still there now before I leave the poky place.

Missed this.. Oh you will have to buy a new set of pearl earrings.. can't imagine how in anything else.. I recently cleaned out and sorted my earrings ground a few surprises and wondered where they came from and why did I but them.. always stick to my favorite heart silver studs..
