I recently bought this colourful bracelet at a jewelry party held by my neighbour. It looks pretty clunky here but that's mostly because it was photographed fairly close up with Frank's fabulous macro lens.
Here it is, resting on my knee - a bit more dainty than it first appeared (the bracelet - not my knee).
I've decided to make a small change to the Posts of the Week. Each week, I struggle to select a solitary, and occasionally two top posts. No more. Each of the posts that I select to include in the POTW are tops to me and I'm no longer going to single out one that I think might be better than the rest. I'll continue to categorize them in no particular order as you'll see below. Each and every one of them are top Posts of the Week.
And now, without further delay, here are the Posts of the Week. The icon below is yours for the taking if if your blog post is named as a POTW.
A Good Read

I think your new POTW format is great. I've oftentimes wondered how in the world you manage to pick just ONE.
Great photos. I have GOT to get me one of those lenses!
Congrats to all!
it's wonderful how many great bloggers we are a part of!

I like the results you are achieving with that lens.
Hand held as well. I can't manage hand held macro at all.
Jewelry parties are always fun! Love the colors on that bracelet. I'm honored to be mentioned. :) Looking forward to some good reads with a cup of coffee in the morning.
Good idea, Hilary. If a post is noteworthy, then it's in a class of it's own. I couldn't pick out a winner myself. Will try to visit all of them.
It's quite a change to see a bit of bling over here. I usually associate this blog with inspiration, not bling!

I have been enjoying your wonderful posts throughout the summer ... although I have been very quiet about it ;) Love your knee-high colourful gem of a bracelet! I'll enjoy checking your POTW links ...
Hopefully summer will hang on a bit longer - it took so long to get here!
Giving us lots to go and visit! Thank you :-)
Beautiful bracelet too
Oh Hilary, I love that bracelet, it is so "me".;) I love all the colors and stones.;)) And that macro shot is stunning.
Congratulations to all those talented writers mentioned here today, will do my best to visit, but these days real life has taken over my virtual life, so I find myself out of time constantly.;)
Have a lovely midweek,
xoxo
Beautiful, beautiful macro.
THE BRACELET STOLE THE SHOW... I LOVE BRACELETS.. THE MORE COLORS THE MORE POSITIVITY EMERGES OUT FROM THEM TO MY VEINS I FEEL.
YOUR POST OF THE WK CATEGORIZATION IS VERY NICE SINCE I'M AN AVID READER I REALLY LIKED THE IDEA FOR THE READER TO CHOSE WHAT SHE WISHES TO READ!
ENJOY.

The bracelot does photograph well. I love it!
Thank you so much for the mention. I'm honored!
great picks, once again, dear hilary! thanks for sharing!
As always, Hilary, I always enjoy your picks.
And that bracelet does look yummy! Very nice macro.
Thanks so much for choosing the mushrooms ~ I just adore them :) And I adore that you take the time to do POTW, it's so fun to see what you pick each week.
Clunky or less .. me like
Some nice tumbled stones on your bracelet.
Thank you so much for choosing me this week! It's always a thrill to be one of the chosen here, and to be included among such great company.
Great idea to have lots of POTW!
Love that graceful bracelet...
You amaze me in how you can make something beautiful ten times more beautiful just through your photos!
This is a great idea.
Thanks Hilary. I'm always pleased to be included.
Love those pictures! Thanks for the good reads!
I am so honored to be included in your POTW. I'm all verklempt. :) Congrats to all the others featured as well. Hope to have time today to check them out.
Love your bracelet! What lovely shots of it. Enjoy!
I love that image! I just discovered that you selected my Living History and I am absolutely floored. Thank you so much! This was the last thing I expected and it has made my morning..
I meant to say that I love both images but the second one really grabbed me. See what you've done, getting me all flustered with the POTW selection? Thanks again!
Hello Hilary, I always enjoy visiting your recommendations for POTW. To be part of "the lineup" is indeed an honor. Thank you. Wear your new bracelet in good health - you'll be stylin!
I like that bracelet. It will go with everything.
Off to visit, although might take a while to get there. Picking one must be most difficult.
I like the bracelet. And this is the second blog I've seen today that utilizes the macro lens. Allows for such beauty.
Love the bracelet; I so often wish I could wear something like that, but I come out in a rash from just a couple of hour's wear if it's not silver or gold :(
I can understand how it must be very difficult to pick one post, so your new method is great.
Loving the bling. Happy Birthday, Frank!!!!
So many good posts, I will read them all!
I love your bracelet and that macro lens is awesome.
Thanks for the tip of the cap. :)
SO cool when I visit you Hillary and find the gems I've been missing out on...such great photos...oh and, nice knee ;)
Thanks for these POTWs.
Love that bling!
I love that bracelet! And I love his macro lens! Congrats to all the POTW - I'm just grateful to you for doing it however you choose! Hoping I have time this week to look at them all.
You always select wonderful photos for your POTW Hilary. Off to look.
I don't know, I think your knee is pretty dainty.
Nice bracelet Hilary. Very colourful. Yes, I like your new POTW format too - Dave
Thank you, everyone for always being so supportive of those selected in my POTW. It's always nice when I see your kind comments both here, and on the blogs of those named. You folks are the best!
Nice collection, as always.
