little jewels
I forgot to mention that the October/November issue of
is up! Some really great art this issue, as well as all the other lively bits of poetry, interesting memoirs and wonderful fiction.
Also, I want to show off the really beautiful necklace that I picked up while in P-Town.
The necklace is a Swarovski crystal pendant and what you can't see here is that it isn't a black cord, but rather little individual, thin black acrylic paillettes. It's really beautiful. Elegant but simple.
I didn't get the earrings...we were starting to spend too much! But the artist is a German woman, Carola Hiersemann, who is quite well known in Europe but not as well known here in America. I think though, that more and more boutique shops are starting to carry her line. I was just thrilled to discover that you could buy her jewelry via the Internet. Really, go check her stuff out...the necklaces are incredible. The designs are bold, beautiful and made out of really interesting materials: "hand-winded glass, shell, alabaster-glass pearls, eloxated aluminum, precious wood, coral, gold, silver…and unique acrylic "paillettes" with mirrored surfaces." And the best part is that while it's fine, boutique jewelry, it's not a zillion dollars...it's actually quite moderately priced. The site doesn't really do justice to the beauty of the pieces...especially the Swarovski crystal. I think that this is the kind of jewelry I could really get into collecting--starting with the earrings to go with my necklace!

Swarovski is big time here.
I was thinking about how you said Joe didn't think he could speak French (I think.. has been a while since I read that post...). ANyhow, my thought was that any guy so knowledgable about wine and with the ability to say 'Pouilly Fuissé' should not have a single moment of trouble with French.
Maybe with fending the French men off you though :P But I think Joe looks a daunting type when he wants.

I, too, recently discovered Carola Hiersemann, the woman designer behind the fabulous Rosselini jewelry line while in P. Town on a visit to Cape Cod. I love her stuff! Her use of Swarvoski glass is a wonderful touch. May I ask where you found it on the Internet? I wold love to add to the pieces I have already purchased.
