Rhyming

Last year when my then 29 year old son Michael went backpacking through Europe he brought me back a mixed bag of beads from Slovenia.

I finally got around to making a necklace for myself a few weeks ago and as I was putting it together I was thinking why Slovenia?

 

Why not Paris..........

......or Rome.......

 

.....or Barcelona.

So the other day I asked him.....why Slovenia.......not that I have anything against Slovenia, I'm sure it's a beautiful country. Well he just looked at me like I was a bit slow (possibly because most of the time I am) and said ........ Because it rhymes with Davinia. Why yes......yes it does!

Frankly it's about the only word that does rhyme apart from vinegar, which is what the kids at kindergarten used to call me because none of them could say Davinia.

So anyway, I love my Slovenian necklace. It goes with a multitude of styles and colours and it's an easy slip on and off necklace.

  1. The necklace is gorgeous Davinia...you can wear it with so much! I love the reason why your son chose Slovenia to buy you a gift! :~)

  2. The kids in school called me "gooey" cause it rhymes with JuLee. At my recent high school reunion (my 40th) someone had the nerve to call me gooey!
