One for the Glove Lovahs
I recently got a lot of traffic from glove-loving perverts who discovered this old post. I like to keep the perv demographic happy, so I was delighted when Susie Bubble linked to Gloved Up. Get a load of these babies! To be extra-nice, I’ll also give you Spinal Tap’s original Smell the Glove album cover….

Adventures in Arizona, Part II
As I started telling you, I spent last weekend at the Tucson Gem Show before visiting the beauteous sister bloggers Jennifer and Megan in Phoenix. I bought a few great stones, but I never tell people about the pieces I’m working on until they’re finished, so you’ll have to wait! My husband came along. He…
