Harakiri

The best gifts contain both something of the giver and of the recipient. On Saturday, Laura gifted me the rose thorn necklace from Montreal jeweler Harakiri. I was instantly smitten... it's one of those objects I may not have picked out for myself but I'm so glad somebody picked out for me.


Of course, I love roses... it's rare I go to the flower market and don't come home with roses of some kind. And I wear Rose Noir perfume. But while there are many things in my life that I readily identify as "my" symbols, I don't always think of roses in that way. But it made me happy to think I'm associated with roses in the mind of another!

I've worn my necklace every day since I got it. It's everything perfect. Thank you Laura!

  2. What a beautiful gift.

    I always love your rose arrangements. I definitely would associate you with roses. And your Chanel nail polishes, that gorgeous dusty rose color.

    1. Erica - you're so right... when I start to look roses are everywhere in my stuff... even my 2 blushes... rose petal and rose bloom!

  3. Jane, the rose thorn to me is a really great symbol of the ying and yang of life; the tough times make us truly appreciate the good times. Was it a special occasion, or is Laura just really wonderfully thoughtful?

  4. This necklace is so beautiful! I love the hint of rose it gives without being too feminine.
