Robert and I had decided not to exchange gifts this year, then our London jeweller came calling about a pair of vintage Art Deco diamond and sapphire earrings they’d just acquired (in their original box no less), and we knew I had to have them! These Art Deco diamond and sapphire earrings were actually made… Continue Reading
My other love…
A couple of readers have asked about Opie… ask and you shall receive :) Here he is sitting on “Odder’s Throne,” so named because he loves to steal my seat! When he was a kitten, he used to sit on the edge of the tub while I took a bath; one night he was… Continue Reading
