A different perspective on the colorful decanters and bottles vases that have arrived from L.A.

Become a hero...

Jeanine Payer's Craig bracelet is just the right size & style to be an "id" bracelet but is made even more special by lines of poetry. I love how well it fits with the customer's other accessories. 

Become a hero

Made of ordinary marrow

And extraordinary heart.

Winner of the 3rd giveaway question...

Congratulations to Galwriter Leib and her comment on the Blue Footed Booby:

I would come back from the Galapagos as The Boobie bird! They're colorful, interesting, and fun to watch. They're incredible divers and gracefully beautiful to look at! They swim, they fly, they walk, they have physical beauty - they can d...o it all! Plus having a couple of "boobies" of my own, it sounds like a perfect fit! Who wouldn't want to be one? [P.S. Can I at least win the "Boobie prize." :) ]

A note is not just a note...

... it's an unexpected surprise... 

It's the thickness of the envelope as your fingers pull it from your mailbox...

a colorful envelope, 

a unique stamp, 

writing in a calligraphic style,

figuring out what type of pen to use: 

fountain vs rollerball vs fine tipped, vs thick nib, 

ink: blue, black, white, yellow or crayon!

these are just some of the fun ways to encourage the pleasure of writing a note.
