Fuzzy Love

Hello jewellery lovers!

Another week has come and gone, and so many changes have come and gone with it! For instance, I am now sporting my fleece penguin gloves and ear-muffs as a result of that scary/and or splendid snow, depending on how you look at it I suppose... For those of us who are frightened by the snow, I have chosen a festive romantic proposal that will warm you right up! For those readers new to the blog, every Saturday we post a story of a unique way to propose to your loved one from Twenty Ways to Pop the Question by David W. Richardson and Jean M. Means. And lucky for you, this particular story gives you an idea so conveniently close to Christmas. So cuddle up to something warm and fuzzy, and enjoy!

Warm Fuzzies

Our family celebrates Christmas with a vengeance... gifts overflowing beneath the tree like we're the richest people on earth. In abundance of love we are rich; in money we're not exactly drowning in it! But we enjoy a Christmas tradition of buying each other small, entertaining gifts throughout the year so we have lots of presents when we get home from Church on Christmas morning.

David and I had been dating for almost two years, and I wanted to share in all of our Christmas fun and blessings. I invited him to join my family for the holiday.

On Christmas morning we were having the time of our lives laughing and teasing each other about the outrageous gifts we had each received. David had even gotten his share of funny gifts and managed to sneak in a few of his own. He had given my Mom a potholder shaped like a pig and my Dad an apron saying "Kiss the Cook".

Everyone in the room burst out laughing when I opened the box he had wrapped so carefully to conceal a pair of bedroom slippers shaped like big elephant heads. "These are so adorable!" (not quite as adorable as penguin merchandise -- make note) I said as I took my old slippers off to replace them with the new ones.

I pulled the first elephant head onto my right foot and waggled it at him with a big grin. Then I pulled the second slipper on, but "Ouch!" There was something stuck in there! I reached in to see what it was. As I pulled out a sparkling diamond engagement ring, David knelt down in front of me and took it from my hand.

As he held the ring poised at my finger, he said, "Denise, I can't think of a better time and place to ask you to be my wife. Marry me?"

David's beautiful surprise had left me speechless, but my family helped me out with shouts of "Say yes!"

What a wonderful Christmas memory that will be for my whole family.

How many times did you "awe"? Well, now that we are all feeling festive I should mention that Tompkins Jewellers is hosting a SteelX party on December 1st, and it is a perfect opportunity to get a Christmas gift for the one you love. You could even hide it inside of a slipper as a surprise! All of the information is on the blog section of our website and our facebook page. And like always, we love to encourage our readers to send in their own romantic proposal story or that of someone you may know that you think would be lovely for us to post! You can send it into This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Until next week, I will be searching frantically for a piece of jewellery through all of my warm, fuzzy slippers!

And wouldn't you know it ..."Of course I will marry you David, I'd be proud to be your wife."
