Haircut Update and a HUGE Thank You
by Jenners • 03/28/2010 • Life • 37 Comments
So remember back in February when I got my horrible haircut? Well, one month later, it is finally where I want it to be. But let me tell you, it was a tough month. It just warms my heart that the post about my horrific haircut was one of my commented on posts EVER! So many of you offered suggestions and sympathy, but one of you went way beyond the call of blogging duty and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse: custom-made earrings!!
The lovely blogger who immediately offered to make me a pair of earrings is Erin over at Treasures Found: Inspiration Is Everywhere and the creative genius behind Tesori Trovati. When Erin first offered to make me some earrings, I turned her down. But she pretty much insisted, so I graciously accepted. She then proceeded to send me not one, not two, but three pairs of earrings. Let me show them to you. (Although the photos don’t really do them justice. They are much prettier in real life.)
The three pairs of earringsI told her I liked dangly ones and not too heavy
All three pairs make me feel girly and special and funky
I LOVE THEM!
Now for some close-ups.
Simply AquaNatural aquamarine with brass wires
Calico Blooms

These might be my favorite
Forgive the shadow as I bend over them to take the photo

Thank you so much, Erin!
I wear them everyday!
You’re the best!

Good Lord! How many chins do I have!!!
Thrilled to finally NOT have the shortest hair in the family,
Those are pretty earrings! The perfect antidote for a too short haircut.
It really did perk me up and make me feel girly.
I saw your article Goldilocks And The Three Bloggers mentioned on Sneaky Momma Blog Design and thought I'd pop over to check it out. It was a good read.
And I hear you about bad haircuts! I've been shaving my head once a year in support of childhood cancer research since 2007. Next time will be 4/15/10.
As you say it takes a good month of re-growth to get past that awkward looking stage.
You look great!! Love the hair and the earrings!!
My Little One asked that you give your Little One a big hug and kiss from her and tell him she misses him a lot!
Miss you guys!
Have a great Holiday!
I'm not jealous, I'm not jealous, lol. I love Erin's creations! Beautiful! I would think they would have been a huge help to feel more girlie.
Love the earrings and love the new look! I let most of my holes grow over (I had five; I'm now down to one, but it's high on my ear and I never change the earring) — I miss wearing dangly earrings!
Love it, Friend!
Yay for hair growthage! Love those earrings, sooo my style! ^_^ Your hair looks great! I've had some pretty terrifying haircut experiences as well.
They look very pretty on you! I'm an artist, too who paints and makes jewelry. That's so thoughtful and generous of her to send you such a gift!

I just realized I read your posting but never commented.
Hair is looking good. And Little One's hair is also looking good. We keep T Rex's pretty short. Personally I like it.
Question is, does he get to wear the earrings too?!?
Love it!! and those earring are gorgeous!!!! Lucky you
I love that haircut! I'm now jealous. I can't tell you how many times I've wished I had the face to pull that off. I do not. You do, though! Lucky girl.
I also love those cute-cute-cute earrings!
Glad the hair hell is over!
And YAY for fun earrings.
Your hair looks terrific! Very nice. That's a pretty blue on you too. What a fun, sweet picture of the two of you looking at each other
Those are very nice earrings too.
Your hair looks so great now! THe earrings and wonderful, too. What a thoughtful gift!
Do you know how many pictures of me I've tossed because of the infamous multi-layered-chin?
xo
I gave you an award Jenners
It's here
I can't believe how fast it grew! It looks great.
Chins?? I'll show you chins!!!
(I have a fat neck too!)
I'm glad your hair has grown quickly and is where you want it now. Bad haircuts can be scaring! I remember hiding in the closet after my first (and only!) short hair cut. (I was 9, you can't fault me for hiding!)
Aw, shucks, Jen! It was nothing!
You do nothing but make me snort and chortle with laughter every single time I visit your world. (I might not get in so much trouble for reading things I shouldn't while at work if you were any less hilarious!) Thanks so much for the shout out… my goal is to be selling on Etsy by the end of Q1…that gives me oh… 3 days! I will have something set up to sell online soon!
You are the best. And you are totally rocking the hair and the earrings!
Enjoy the day!
Erin
Jenners.. I luv Ya..you are the cutest and the haircut looks gorgeous..I did that once..like a one inch hair cut..my hubs said I looked like Katy Lang…and when I wore a red flannel shirt I looked like Al on Home Improvement..and the funny thing was I really did..Lolol…Those earrings are so nice…that was very sweet of her..and touching….your little one's cut looks great too..hes a cutie pie..!
You look great Jenners! Those earring are all so wonderful, makes short hair worth it in order to show them off!
Want to let you know that I tagged you in my post today!
Awww, the last photo of you and your little one is cute. The earrings are beautiful. I admire you for rocking the short cut. Only a strong woman could do that : )
Love the earrings AND the haircut!
I hate miserable haircuts and that most awkward waiting stage… Oi! What's a girl to do, but wear fabulous earrings!
I love what you've done with the place! I haven't been here in AGES, but now that I have a bit more freedom (read as: no job) I'll be around a bit more! YAY for reading blogs again!
cute earrings and sweet lady!
Your hair looks very cute. I must have missed the original post. I love the earrings. Light and girly and dangly are my style! I may just have to pay her a visit.
Have a great week.
See, your hair is rounding out nicely! LOVE the earrings!
I think your hair looks fabulous and it must be really easy to take care of. The calico blooms are really very pretty. It's easy to see why you love them. Happy Sunday!
What beautiful earrings, how nice of Olivia to think of you.
I like your hair! And you do not have chins.
Little one gets his hair cut like Monsieur Titi. But I'm sure it's easy to keep for him.
Hey! There's that Judi Dench look you were going for.
Be sure and keep this pic to show the stylist next time!
And we're not ready for really short hair here yet with the kid — still too cold!
I'm so envious of those fab earrings! Love them…
the calico blooms are my favorite! so pretty
that was totally sweet for her to send them to you! I only see one chin Jenners lol I think you look great! My son always got his hair shaved almost off…that's how he liked it.
How nice about the earrings! And I love the calico blooms! Does anyone need my address? Oh wait, I don't have pierced ears! Rats! But they're so pretty, somehow I want them anyway! :–)
The hair looks marvy! But I still think you would have rocked out the cap with hair attached thingy!
My sister-in-law shaved her head in anticipation of chemo hair loss – but she said she only lost hair in the back and on the sides.
She's now sporting a wig with highlights…and my brother isn't too happy about it.
He said she's the most beautiful bald woman he's ever seen.
Maybe that's why they're still married after 40+ years.
The hair looks great! The earrings look great! Everything is great!
(By the way, today I thought of you. Because I dyed my hair. And let's just say it's… it's… Well, I thought of your hair cut from hell, and that should just about explain it. Cry!)
I think you look amazing and also noticed no multiple chin-set. And gorgeous earrings!
You look great..I didn't even notice the chins until you pointed them out. Little one's hair is looking like my little one. I took him today and he got a short around the edges look and has spikey bangs. He thinks he's all that. I'll have to post his picture. I feel like crap. Have my welcome to spring cold. Need to be in bed.
Your hair looks great now! It really did grow into the perfect shape. Now go back and show that stylist to do it like "this" next time, LOL.
The earrings are lovely and look great on you.
