We are dodging the blizzard hitting our friends further north, but the wind still unleashed with a fury and knocked the power out for a while today. All in all its been an unseasonably warm winter and the crocus & hellebores have revealed themselves, chives are a good 6 inches tall, and all sort of perennial sprouts are pushing out of the ground. This little brooch reminds me of everything going on in the garden right now. Silver, coin pearl and peridot. 

We always have these fun and affordable rings in our online shops and our shows. They have unisex appeal. We had a couple in Williamsburg choose a pair of the heart rings as their wedding rings. I wear one of the stacking hook rings every day, but I have a heart one on my list too! Happy weekend people. I hope your team wins tomorrow. I'm looking forward to half-time and the commercials.

It's National Wear Red Day today, raising awareness for women's heart disease. So it seemed fitting to construct something from our red glass ribbon collection. The way so many women run themselves ragged taking care of their families, its no surprise really that heart disease and stroke kills one woman every 80 seconds. Ladies, please, know your numbers: total cholesterol, HDL good cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and body mass index. Love yourselves as much as you do your loved ones.
