Superstitious? What kind of rituals do you follow for good luck? For myself, I like to take advantage of special times to see if I can reap good fortune. For example, if I have something important to organize I am likely to do it on a Holiday or on Sunday. So planning this week's Studio work was a no brainer.
I had recently received a large amount of old jewelry from an estate. The choicer pieces had long gone and these were left. They were supposed to be unsellable. So I asked how they were organized. I said if you give almost them to me, I will organize them for you in the proper way. But I was given them instead. The owner felt they were just cluttering up the house. Luckily I have my jewelry collection.
To get them they had to be quickly boxed and taken off the premises. But once I brought them home, there was no time to organize them anymore because of the Holiday Preparations. So this Saturday I took some time to clean the antique jewelery and to put them properly away. It was also a good time to take out the jewelry I would be wearing between Christmas and New Year.
I am of an inclination to hide expensive things from view but there was so much to do that this was impossible. If someone would have stepped in my room about lunch time they would have seen trays of jewels just drying on soft towels. And boxes all around. And plastic containers spread around as well. Some where open. Some where closed. It was a chaos that I thought would never end.
But luckily, almost everything got arranged by the day's end. (there were still a couple of pieces that I had misplaced). Right now I have the agreeable task to put the brooches on my different coats and jackets.
