The whole family is in town.... crap.

Hi You,

Update for the day: our whole family is in town this weekend, for a "faux" christmas dinner because my parents have decided to jet-set to Hawaii for the real deal. We sisters have decided to drink christmas instead .. all in the spirit of the holidays. I only joke in the title, its not crap, its amazing our parents are in town. But you know, as you have your own familial type of issues, that parents can be a headache or a.pain.in.the.neder-regions but you have to have both to appreciate them.

At this moment: Mamma MacMillan is being the helper she can and cutting up boxes in the back. Poppa MacMillan is at Canadian Tire (..and the liquor store) getting much needed supplies!

We sisters are manning the store.

Elle update:
Favourite new piece of the day: Blue agate stone on a copper chain (picture this, a flat glossy rock with vibrant colors of blue and just OOOZE Fabulous!)

Gold plated vs. Gold filled : what is the difference?
Gold plated is basically gold particles stuck to another metal (usually silver, or a metal) to give a gold appearance, whereas gold filled is actually a gold wire surrounding another type of metal (usually silver). Gold filled is regulated by the government whereas gold plated is not. Gold filled also last longer than gold plated.

GOOD NEWS? Elle Hardware features TONS of gold-filled jewellery all under $62.99. HELLO AMAZING!

Later days,
