surrounded by baubles...

yesterday i went to see the cartier exhibit at the legion of honor...
i will probably be writing more about it on my other blog in the next few days...wow...was that what you call a shameless plug? haha

so...what can i say about my day yesterday...first...in the midst of just a chaotic busy schedule...it was nice to take an afternoon off...and just not think...in fact it was pretty much needed...and...it was a glorious beautiful sunny day in san francisco...the legion of honor is beautiful to begin with...with its view of the golden gate bridge...and the beautiful city...i stood and just took in the beauty for a few minutes...snapped some pictures...and pretty much acted like a tourist...on my home turf...but...hey...we live in an incredible beautiful area...

so...the baubles...i found myself gasping quite a few times...i mean the jewels were outrageous...i have been really focusing on not saying "oh my God" in my daily vocabulary...but that rule went out the window yesterday...in fact...i think that is all i kept saying...i mean...i was surrounded by diamonds, sapphires, emeralds...and brilliance...and we are not talking tiny cuts...we are talking about some that were...oh you know...something small like 49 carats...cah-ray-zee...

cartier also did some beautiful clocks...they were called mystery clocks because none of the mechanisms of the clock show...it truly is amazing...the art in these pieces...

but...no surprise...my favorites were the baubles...will i go back to see the exhibit again? i would pretty much say that that will be a definate & resounding yes!... =)
