Since then I visited up in Sacramento with Malvina and Sam (and ate gourmet grilled cheese from a food truck on the side of the road) and visited down in LA with Sarah and her family (and went to the Los Angeles Zoo! and took a nap &#8211; and saw my old friend Rhoda from high school for the first time since 2002!)<\/p>\n<p>Since then I&#39;ve been to Ikea, sliced my hand open and done a ton of laundry!<\/p>\n<p>My life, it is glamorous!<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of glamour, here is&nbsp;a prototype of bridesmaids jewelry and headpiece&nbsp;I may or may not make for Malvina&#39;s wedding, set in a historic former speakeasy:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1100\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/DSC04198.jpg\" title=\"DSC04198\" width=\"450\" srcset=\"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/DSC04198.jpg 450w, http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/DSC04198-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I hope the girls like it, we&#39;ll see.
