iGo With iHog
The iHog and I are hitting the road. I expect to post as usual, but I may not have time to give all your blogs the normal amount of comment love. I hope you can forgive me. Speaking of traveling, when my husband returned from a recent business trip he found golf balls that looked…
Los Angeles Shopping: Roseark
One of my stops during my trip to Los Angeles was Roseark (formerly known as Kaviar and Kind) in West Hollywood. If you’re ever in the area, stop by 8533 Sunset Boulevard and ask to see my designs. This beautiful boutique carries my Papessa Prayer Locket, Xenobia Ring and many other pieces. The lovely ladies…

Leggings Flashback
Terri Berry, my gorgeous sister, was recently reminiscing about my college uniform of Danskin leggings and Hanes men’s t-shirts. She forgot to mention my denim jacket and red Gap cardigan.

Adventures in Arizona, Part II

I bought a few great stones, but I never tell people about the pieces I’m working on until they’re finished, so you’ll have to wait! My husband came along. He…
Adventures in Arizona, Part I
I sneaked off to Arizona this weekend to check out the Tucson Gem Show. Afterwards, I stopped in Phoenix to visit gorgeous sister bloggers Jennifer and Megan. We had dinner (I had “Voodoo Tuna”) during which I attempted to drink for four: myself, Megan, Jennifer and Jennifer’s bun in the oven. Considering the baby was…
Did You Miss Me?
I have a confession to make. I sneaked away to L.A. for a few days and never told y’all! I didn’t want you peeps to make a scene … all that weeping, wailing and begging me to stay is just not dignified! Snap out of it! While in L.A. , I wore some crazy Alaia…
One More Time
I’ve been tagged again, this time by the gorgeous and sometimes naughty Valley Girl. Now the theme is “four.” I’ve already done “six” and “seven” tags. This tag is more structured than the others, which makes life easier, but where will it end? A squillion-item tag is probably going around the Internets at this very…
