I’ve mentioned Jean, the proprietress of Ghost Tailor, quite a few times on this blog. I found Jean when I was desperately looking for someone to alter some sweaters for me. No one wants to alter sweaters, which baffles me. It’s not like the sweaters grow on the sheep in ready-to-wear condition. (Designer to sheep:…

One of my jewelers made this “W” initial pendant for me for my 40th birthday. I’ve been wearing it a lot lately. I only wear my own designs, so it’s rare that I get a jewelry gift that I can wear. MrB got me quite a bit of beautiful jewelry back in the day but,…
This Just In: Candytuft Stacking Rings
Candytuft is a flowering plant that has nothing whatsoever to do with candy.

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
When I emailed these pictures of my latest jewelry design to gorgeous ex-blogger ENC last week, I wrote “my white whale, my Waterloo, my greatest folly” in the subject line.

I’m a Genie in a Bottle, Baby
When I introduced my Genie in a Bottle cufflinks last month, I said I would wait for professional pictures to show you the 18K gold genie inside the silver bottle. I decided can’t stand waiting, so here’s a snapshot I took of the necklace version of this design. She’ll grant you three wishes.Genie in a…
