Wore a Halloween sweater to church today. Decided (as usual) that I needed a pair of earrings to go with it, so I took the sterling silver Ear Threaders (purchased from Rings and Things) and put orange and black Swarovski crystals and tiny glass wafers on them. As I was leaving the house, my husband got an odd look on his face, came over and eyed my new earrings.

“What the heck are these???”
“Ear Threaders. They’re cool, aren’t they?”
“They’re weird.”

I rolled my eyes and said “They’re a hot item right now. They’re very trendy”, smiled and walked out the door.

At church, fully a dozen women commented on my cool ear threads. One just reached over during choir practice across and the pew and started playing with them (that was a little weird, but I do know her pretty well ). Several asked if I was selling them.

So I guess my measure from now on when I’m unsure of a new item, line or trend is to ask my husband. If he says something is weird, I know it will be a hit.
