Love Notes

It's been a busy week!  We had a great response to last week's bangle drop - and I'm now talking to some fantastic clubs and other institutions about custom designs for their iconic places, which is soooo much fun - hope to share soon.  THANK YOU.   And, we sold out the Marie drops once again, (please send me an email if you missed out and would like to be on the wait list).   I played a little hooky on Friday, and traveled with some friends to see the Historic Garden Week tour of the Middle Peninsula.   So much fun.  More of that, please.  READ MORE

The expression "OG" has recently been popping up in my world of daily reads, so I did the usual and asked my husband if he knew what it means.  "Is it Latin?" was his response.   Hmmm ... pretty sure not Latin, so let's turn to Webster's:

"OG, short for “original gangster” or “original gangsta,” is a slang term for someone who's incredibly exceptional, authentic, or “old-school.” OG was originally used in gang culture, but it is now used as a general term to praise someone who is an expert at something."  READ MORE

Aaah what is it about some weeks?   This one was not my week.  The ugly beast of my insomnia raised its dragon head.   The little things and a few big ones that didn't go my way seemed overwhelming.   I know it helps to put the words down on paper (proverbially or preferably in an especially beautiful journal).   I'm writing it down here, because I hope it might help just one of my dear readers to know you're not alone if you're having some mid winter blues, big or small.  READ MORE

To paraphrase Annie Lenox, "Pink dreams are made of these; who am I to disagree?"   Happy Valentines Day my lovelies.   It's a wonderful week to celebrate pink.   And to celebrate love.  READ MORE

Our hearts ache for the devastation and loss from Hurricane Ian.    We send our hopes and prayers that our friends and neighbors in Florida and the coastal South will rebuild and recover more quickly than logic dictates.   Despite our differences, our American spirit of resilience remains strong, and it binds us together.    We can count on the innate kindness of our fellow countrymen to lend a hand to a neighbor in crisis.  READ MORE
