slappin de bass

~ The Mouse. Dang. Is this boy cute or what! ~

 Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. This is mainly a Mouse post. He went to a bluegrass festival last week. Saw his banjo teacher there, had a great time trying out different instruments, and had money burning a hole in his pocket.

 He did a pretty fine job picking out some sweet jewelry though... Look at this awesome banjo necklace! I mean seriously, how cool is that! It looks really good on him too. Just sayin.  

 His friend Caitlin took this pic w/ her cell so it's not the best quality, but I'm so glad she took it! Look at that Mouse, SLAPPIN DE BASS MAN!!! He looks amazing rockin that stand up bass - and he said it was really fun to play. But on to a bit more jewelry...

Remember how I piqued your interest asking what these could be? Yes, they're made of semi-precious gems... yes, carved into heart shapes... with neat etchings on them... yes, yes, yes. But what ARE they?

They are actually TWO things!

First, they are interchangeable parts of a beautiful necklace 

the Mouse bought me at the bluegrass festival (awww, so sweet!)... 

and they are also... guitar picks! Guitar picks! Isn't that GENIUS?!

 Aren't they so pretty? They feel good when you hold them in your fingers too! 

Guitar picks - who would have thought? 

 There's a pretty little door on the back that you unlatch and swing open 

in order to change picks. Hmmm... which pick will I choose today?

 I think I'll choose the white one with the dove etched on it. 

Time to close the little door now!

 Oh wow, the white looks really pretty! What a clever, creative idea - I love it!

Thank you Mousie! I love you!
