Small Joys — wearable memories

I am wearing earrings I bought in Key West approximately 1992, maybe? They were a “big splurge”, now I wonder, were they even $20? I don’t wear these enough. But I do have silver earrings from Key West that Sean bought me in our 25th wedding anniversary.

To make this Small Joy post more meaningful, I feel I oughta write a lovely story of the memory associated with one piece. But I’m feeling a bit off and am going to bed early.
