So I packed my bags, and hopped a flight to Bermuda. Before anything else, I had to swim in the tropical waters. And look what I found...!

I was so thrilled with my discovery because it was not only lovely, but it reminded me of my great aunt. I always wear a locket with her picture in it, and I stopped briefly to open the locket and gaze at her photo.

In the locket her photo she was wearing her beautiful pearl earrings .

I was so overcome by his proposal, I needed a hanky from my purse.

We had tea and cakes on a wonderful plate. Tears of joy welled up in my eyes and I realized I need to excuse myself and go powder my nose.

As I was leaving the powder room, I looked down and saw this necklace wedged behind the door. Who could have lost it I wondered?

I realized I left my compact on the counter and turned around to retrieve it, when I noticed Maggie coming towards me.
 |

I was stunned when I saw Maggie, seeing that she was dressed for an elegant event and she had tears in her eyes.

"I've twisted my ankle... When I saw Sam pull out that sapphire ring that should have been for me, I tried running over to stop him... My heel broke along with my heart..."

Her Venetian Grand Parure looked magnificent with the deep black velvet of her vintage gown. I rushed to her and asked, "

I needed something bright and colorful around my wrist to match my new spring dress.

“Stop the frivolity!” I shrieked with alarm. George has joined the service. All I have left is his engraved lighter.
 |

I didn't want a lighter. I'd rather have a dog that dances the hula.
 |
| JewelsAndMyGirls3 |
Oh, that reminds me, look at the wonderful necklace I found for the dance!

Then I realized I'd left my new fiance, my one true love, alone at the table!

But then the realization hit me. I stopped dead in my tracks. a tear slowly glistened down my cheek as I remembered all of the stories of him catting around with any available, beautiful woman...

I have to decide... we'll be together again any second now... ignore his tomcat ways and grab the swag, or.....?
Buy my own swag...

Maggie continued to cry, leaving me to stare over her shoulder at Sam who was looking so handsome, his vintage cufflinks shimmering in the light.

Maggie replied, "My date has stood me up for the ballroom gala this evening. What will I do? I spent weeks hunting for the perfect vintage dress..."
 |
| DeannesVintage |
Maggie continued, "I actually bought two dresses...."
"And I bought..."
 |
| TheGildedSwan |
And I bought these sparkling rhinestone brooches...

...to go with my glitz and glam cocktail ring!

Just then, Maggie's date reappeared. It turns out he hadn't stood her up but instead had run out to his car to grab her gift. I handed Maggie my handkerchief, left her with her date, and walked towards Sam, a huge smile on my face.
The End.
