I spent part of today setting up things in my little studio to shoot, starting of with some Christmas things. Yes, I know ... its either very late for Christmas items, or way too early, but these are things I'm planning to either pass on to others in need, or sell off. This past few years we've managed to inherit some things from my mom, and then from my aunt and we have some things from my husband's family, and we had 35 years worth of our own Christmas belongings ... something had to give. So, some of the first things I set up and shot photos of were those Christmas items cluttering up the studio. Now I can box them up and send them off. Oh - not to worry, today I'm not posting those Christmas things, but some of the jewelry items I shot afterwards.

Some of the jewelry belongs to my aunt. Since she's in a nursing home, keeping it in her room isn't an option, because ... well, there are some residents who get a little too handy with belongings they don't own. Since we're the closest family (her son lives out of town), we keep her good stuff in boxes in the dresser in "her" room in our home. So many of these items are hers ... I've already shot and posted most of my own jewelry in previous posts. The first set I've got here is actually an engagement ring that belonged to my grandmother.
