My family's from crazy all over the place, and so there's lots of stories of experiences from all walks of life.
On my mothers side, we are Sri Lankan, but if you go even further back from there, there's Portuguese and Dutch too.
Then on my fathers side, my grandmother is British, and my grandfather is Dutch-Indonesian.
So me and my siblings are like those crazy mutts with patchy speckled fur :)
It trips people out, because some people in society are just so focused on nationality and race, even though most of us were born here in Australia anyway, so what does it matter? I love to trick people, or play a guessing game, when they ask me "Oh what's your nash?". Its hilarious, because then they dont know how to judge me, in my caramel-y coating haha
My sister and I often tell people we're Native American or Jamaican haha :)
Anyways, so on my dad's side we got all this jewelry from relatives in Holland, from their shop, and some from my Oma, or great grandmother too :)
Unfortunately, jewelry from the shop in Holland was mixed in with Oma's precious stuff, which she probably carried through the war!
i have rediscovered how awesome some of the pieces are, and took a photo of some jewelry i am loving right now :)
sorry, they're not the best, but im bored, so im doing it :)
i also look like crap today, ive been sick -_- so i put my deformed baby hands over my face.... not sure which was better...
The pink necklace, my mother and i are fighting over who gets to wear it haha, i snag it most of the time :) its Peruvian sliver with rose quartz.
The necktie, is like old western haha, quite funny, my mum was horrified when i said i was going to find a way to wear it! she tried to tell me people wore neckties in the 80s? cant imagine it... This ones got a rhinestone in it...
The gold ring has, garnet, i think in it, and must have been my Oma's. its rare to find rings that fit me, so imma wear it, incorporate it with stuff. it is very special after all :)
The purpley ring is pink turquoise in silver, and its from some Californian desert, i forget which... I actually got this in Byron Bay, but i love it so much, i had to show you :)
Oh yeah and the silver cuff is my aunty's. totally not inherited. she probs wants it back. but she left it here, so ill just hang on to it till i next see her? :P
