Customer photo

Usually I never know what happens once jewelry leaves my hands. I loved getting this photo from a customer, who said her fiance bought her this ring as an engagement ring!

How did he know her size? Impressive!

The ring is stamped with one of my favorite phrases, "Ani l'dodi v'dodi li," meaning, "I am my beloved's and he is mine," Song of Solomon.

Holiday orders

When places are starting to OPEN, you know you've been up too late.

Now I am at the mercy of the US postal service! Let's all cross our fingers. . .

Happy holidays and good night! Or should I say good morning?

Festival of Lights

This weekend was all Hanukah all the time.

We did candles

played dreidle

and opened lots of presents


Whew, 3 kids times 8 nights of Hanukah. That's a lot of wrapping!

Guess who

In the midst of holiday shopping for the family, I found these on etsy for myself - custom silhouette prints. Can you guess who's who?

I love them! They somehow capture each of their personalities. You can get your own made at Le Papier Studio.

The Gold Rush

Abstract

For the dogs

What ever your style, what could be a better investment during this wintry economic climate than pure, solid, 14k gold! Create your own in my etsy shop.

A clump of Ostrin

How cute are all the little Ostrins when they are clumped together?

Hmm, I wonder what they are looking at. . .
