Just in time for Halloween (but perfect all year round for Egyptologists): my new mummy locket in sterling silver. I’ll get better pictures of this piece soon. As I mentioned in my last post, my camera is malfunctioning and I was lucky to get these photos. I’ve got a new camera on its way. Anyway,…

Tavi’s WendyB Polyvore Sets
I don’t know how I persuaded petite fashion dynamo Tavi of Style Rookie to use my jewelry in two beautiful Polyvore sets quite some time ago. An even bigger mystery is why I never shared them here. Better late than never, I always say, especially when I’m very late. Here they are. wendy b! by…

The Guilt Is Killing Me
This blog has become the place where tags go to die. Gorgeous bloggers have been generously including me in tags and giving me awards since January, and I have failed to do the right thing and pass the tags/awards along. It’s not that I don’t appreciate such things. I do! But I ran out of…

They live in Vancouver but just happened to be visiting Paris at the right moment. Oddly, we all enjoyed discussing this episode of Family Guy over dinner. MrB took this picture of…
