Animals
Henry the Dog Is Special
When I first laid eyes on Henry the Pekingese at the ASPCA in June 2006, I immediately noticed his deformed front paw, shaky back legs and blond eyelashes, in that order. I was still mourning Mr. Chubbs, my elderly Pekingese, who had to be euthanized a few weeks earlier after his lifelong neurological disease escalated…
Santa Claws Is Coming to Town
He sees you when you’re sleeping. He knows when you’re awake. He knows when you’ve been bad or good … … so be good for goodness sake, because Santa Claws looks like one angry S.O.B.!
Recommended Reading: Newspaper Series
Some days it is challenging to read the newspaper around here … … but I usually prevail after scooping up FitzRoy and depositing him in another room. Those of you with more recalcitrant cats can catch up with the good stuff online. For instance, last week, the Wall Street Journal ran an interesting series called “The…
Customer of the Day: Serena and Her Daisy Pendant
Gorgeous client Serena (owner of my IDGAF necklace, among other pieces) recently contacted me with a special request. She wanted a pendant made in memory of her beloved dog, a bullmastiff named Daisy. Daisy died from lymphoma this March, aged seven. Serena emailed me: “We had Daisy since she was six weeks old.

Rumors of Unsupervised Cat Exercise
Because cat things are always funny, I have to share a letter sent to The Ethicist column of the New York Times Magazine last month. W.S. of New York wrote in to say: “One of my neighbors complained to my co-op board’s management firm, claiming I allow my cat to exercise unsupervised in the hallway…
LOOK! This Is Funny to Me.
I’m suddenly obsessed with this cat meme. It’s highlarious to me. On Reddit, someone suggested that this person could be the cat’s owner. Of course, cats are known for doing weird stretchy leg things. FitzRoy does both legs at once!
Lion Jewelry for Luxury-Loving Leos
The Leo period of the astrological calendar begins today. You really don’t have to be a Leo to wear my lion-themed jewelry — the pieces weren’t inspired by astrology — but if you ARE a Leo, they’re even more compelling, no? My Eleanor necklace was inspired by Eleanor of Aquitaine, one of the most powerful…
Customer of the Day: Karen D. and Her Bat Necklace
My high-school classmate Karen D. was kind enough to share photos of her 1980s Jim Morrison and Madonna jackets with us in May. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE JACKETS. Now she’s sharing her thoughts about bats — but not the kind of bat that Carrie Underwood introduces to a pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive in…
Customer of the Day: Susanna of Jewel Box Dreams
Gorgeous jewelry blogger Susanna of Jewel Box Dreams has been one of my clients since 2008. My silver Diana heart ring is among her past purchases. More recently, she acquired my bunny stud earrings in sterling silver. You can buy those (or their 18K-gold siblings) singly … … or in pairs. As I mentioned in…
