A long long time ago...

No really....a long, long time ago, when I was in high school there were several fun jewelry trends. One was anything turquoise. Way back then you could get a super cool ring for $5. ~sigh~ The other one was puzzle rings. Especially these

Usually you got 12 bands. Sometimes though, you could find one with 24! I loved these.

The other kind of puzzle ring looked like this


This one was harder to figure out. I had an Uncle in the Navy that sent me a two tone one when I was in my early 20's. I wore it on my thumb up until just a couple years ago, when it broke. I was going to have it fixed but then I lost one of the rings. Phooey.

Anyway...I've been wanting to replace it but then I got to thinking about that other kind and wondered how come you never see those in a store or gift/craft show? So I Googled it. I found a lot of the 2nd kind. Then I checked Ebay. Eureka!! You can really find anything on the www. I'm continually amazed. Oh yeah...so I bought it, the one with 24 bands!!! I'm so excited. I can't wear it on my thumb but it will be so fun to have, in a nostalgic sort of way.

It was less than a pair of shoes, which is usually what I buy when I'm angry with my man. He got off cheap this time. Remember ~ happy wife, happy life.
