  1. Wow. You post fast! Those years at Dow Jones working on the ticker clearly worked their magic. Btw, I love the acorn necklace. So clever and fun!

  2. Wendy, every time I read this story I get angry for you. Good for you for bouncing back. But reading your bio makes me realize that going down for the count just isn’t in the cards for you, is it? 🙂

    Rock on girl!

  3. oooooo! i am so checking that out! i’ve been waiting. you kick ass wendyb!

  6. Oh congrats. I’ll keep an eye out in the Australian Marie Clare for it. We often steal articles from the American version. That’s why I don’t buy both because they are often very similar. Who is on the cover of your mag?

  10. Forgot to ask: So what is a reasonable price for 2 carat diamond that is F color, perhaps VS1 and emerald or ascher cut. Tiffany and Cartier want too much!

  11. SG, I wouldn’t expect less than $15K. I would never get a diamond of that quality pre-set. Get a loose diamond and create your own setting. You’ll get a better price.

  12. i saw a skull ring today and thought of you. i didn’t get it because i’d rather save up and get one of your pieces for graduation. 😛

  13. Belle, smart move!

    Lady Smaggle, Sarah Jessica Parker.

    Deirdre, I always try to muddle through!

    Kline, I’m so loving the Ice and Coco press.

  14. Yep, there’s nothing like some good sibling love, looking out for your best interests. Glad you enjoyed the sunflowers from Portland, Oregon. I’ll post a couple more soon. Mama says, “Tell her I said hi, too.” She and Duncan are side-by-side on her little recliner.

    The acorn necklace is totally brilliant!

    Ice, Coco, press? I’m heading for Google right now. Bye.

  16. Wendy, I had forgotten which magazine you were in until I picked up a Marie Claire on a whim today and found your article. Congratulations – it’s well-writtern/insightful, and you look beautiful in the photos~

  17. haha that is love
    and yea your acorn necklace is ridiculously cute…i’m gonna start saving because one day it shall be mineee

  23. i think you’re one of those people who are just born cool ‘n famous ; )

    great piece…and i can’t tell you how much i love that pic (anna wolf)

  26. If you ever go into the card making business the stalking homepage comment would make a great one.

    And to answer the unspoken rhetorical question – it is love.

  27. hey! just saw this – congrats! loved your story and all i have to say is, “rock on girlie!” 🙂
