August Celebrations-National Girlfriend's, Sister's and Best Friend's Day

Check out the newest riveted pink jade ring design that I created to honor my friends who are the family that I choose....

"I do not wish to treat friendships daintily, but with the roughest courage. When they are real, they are not glass threads or frost-work, but the solidest thing we know."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Did you know that there is a lot to celebrate in August?

• August 1st is National Girlfriend's Day
• August 3rd is Sister's Day
  
• August 15th is Best Friend's Day

I am grateful for all my dear friends who are the "sisters" that I choose for family who have shared laughter, time and sorrow with me. Who else considers chocolate a food group to be cherished with morning coffee but the very dearest of friends?!
