I took my engagement ring with my mom's wedding set to the jeweler 2 1/2 weeks ago so have her band reworked a little bit so I could use it as my band. I was really nervous to leave the rings and hope I like how it turned out. Plus I just plain missed my ring (it felt like a month!) My FI picked them up today and the jeweler did a great job! He reworked my mom's band a little bit but it hardly looks changed at all. This was so important to me that it still looked like my mom's original band. The jeweler also added a 1/2 shank of gold to my mom's dainty engagement ring so I can wear it on my right hand. I am so honored that I will be wearing my mom's wedding band as my own.
Other exciting news...I had wanted birch tree discs as part of my centerpieces but didn't want to pay the prices I had been seeing. My friend tried unsuccessfully to track down someone he knew with birch trees that were already cut. Well I found some on Craigslist for CHEAP and they were dropped off tonight. Love 'em! I also got my shipment of branches I will be using in my centerpieces. This was another item I was having a hard time finding at a reasonable price. Yay! Now I just want to put all of my centerpieces together right now!
