for JessLC

Tom and I took these photos one day early last week before the temperatures rose through the roof, but I had to keep them under wraps until The Franklin Collection officially debuted on the JessLC site. Jessica was kind enough to send a necklace from the collection to each of the Delightful Dozen gals to style and photograph for her lookbook. Each of the necklaces is inscribed with a inspirational message; one side in English, the other side in braille. Mine says "Be Brave". I have to admit that I've honestly never worn a piece of jewelry that so many people came up and asked me about. It was quite the conversation starter!
