Sheila’s out shopping: Hi ho, silver!
Thursday, May 15, 2008
Platinum is just out of reach these days, and gold jewelry is so expensive, too. But heirloom silver, that’s a different story. I found quality pieces that not only look great, but make me feel good when I wear them. My first purchase was Trafic, a necklace and bracelet by Peggy Huyn Kinh at Christofle Pavillon.

The bracelet ($760) has heavier round links and makes every outfit I wear special. Full story »

Small successes
Friday, May 9, 2008
“Most people would succeed in small things if they were not troubled with great ambitions.” Longfellow’s words are so true, for more people have abandoned container gardening over impossibly high expectations than any other reason. And unrealistic expectations are the rule, not the exception. Full story »
