Eyes on the Prizes
My peeps, take a moment to visit Grant Miller Media and vote for me in the Drysdale Awards. What are the Drysdale Awards, you ask? Well, they’re like the Oscars for bloggers, meaning that the winners will accept their awards while wearing sweatpants and t-shirts with week-old tomato-sauce stains on them rather than gowns and…
Feel Like an Egyptian Queen, For Less
Crazy-ass psychic Miss Cleo and her psychic friends see some earrings in your future. That’s Miss Cleo but don’t call that number.

Sneak Preview of New Locket Design
This isn’t a proper introduction for my new Hatshepsut Locket, but I can’t resist sharing some amateur pictures of my latest piece. This version is in sterling silver, hanging on a black satin cord.

Trunk Show Thanks
Thank you to all my gorgeous customers and helpers* who made last night’s trunk show at Pink Elephant so wonderful. No thanks to T-Bags, the makers of a dress that I wore because I liked the colors, not realizing it made me look 10 months pregnant. I thought I only looked six months pregnant in…
Trunk Show Tonight
I’m debuting some new jewelry at the trunk show tonight. One of my personal favorites is the Siobhan Ring. This ring was inspired by a story that my friend Siobhan (pronounced “shi-vawn,” not “cee-oh-bahn”) told me about her mother. Back in the day, Mum collected old gold wedding bands and wore all of them stacked…
Beautiful Bloggers and Baubles, Part II
I am unable to resist following up yesterday’s post with this exceptionally adorable self-portrait by Susanna of Jewel Box Dreams, who is modeling her new WendyB-designed Diana Ring. If cuteness were against the law, I’d have to make a citizen’s arrest!
