Adding Stories to Pieces

I majored in English in College and wanted to be a writer, but wasn't very good, grammar-wise.  Now, 17 years later, I'm giving story-telling another shot, but in short bits to add intrigue to my work.  Here's an example (and let me know what you think):

Silver Russian Fountain Pen Necklace

It's a snowy day as usual in St. Petersburg as Galina's boots crunch on her way to get groceries. On the way back home, her eyes catch a glimmer of silver in a window display belonging to a second hand shop. The glimmer was an old fountain pen made in the Ukraine in the 1970s and it became part of a necklace that the shop owner was selling. She has always wanted to be a writer like Leo Tolstoy and write romantic and tragic, stream-of-consciousness novels and knew that this would be her ticket to inspiration!

Made also with a vintage faceted clear bead and a single freshwater pearl in the color matching the outside of the pen.

Length: 17-1/2 in.
