Seriously -- Who among us doesn't want recognition for her accomplishments?  We all do.  And while it might have taken the form of a gold star at one point in your life or a merit badge at another -- nowadays, you'll take your acknowledgement in well-earned bling, thank you very much.  Like this attention-worthy strand of petrified wood beads and a vintage coin from Kenya, for example.  (Which even looks great when worn with previously earned gold star and merit badge...).
