Gone forever… The dragonfly bracelet is lost =o( not 2 days after I finally made matching earrings, I decided to wear it out of the house for the first time. Witness, the absolute madness that is trying to board a train on the Yonge line during rush hour. I hate the TTC! I can’t wait…

The bracelet is a different style than the others, to try and evoke more of the gothic/artsy vibe so intense in Barcelona – neither the chaotic charm bracelet nor the delicate…

I think the most intense, and awe-inspiring part of that trip was a 4am boat trip we took, on 20 foot waves, to see Kiluea pouring lava into the ocean…

My mom has been hard at work lately with her new designs, and I wanted to share some of them here. As usual, she created playful and loud ‘look-at-me’ designs, and her usual taste for unusual and creative photography, even utilizing an old fence and a fire hydrant to get the shots she wants! Mom’s…
