The Trouble with eReaders
For the record, I have a Nook. The Nook Simple Touch, to be specific. But the issue I have with eReaders spans them all – the Nook, the Kindle, et al. (okay, so those are the only two I can remember the names of, I’m sure there are some et al.s) And the problem is…

Every now and again I look up, gaze around, and am shocked to find Iâm not the only person on the planet ! I know, right? Well itâs easier to concentrate on important stuff these days. I got rid of Twitter, so Iâm not pissed off anymore when I realize everyone is busily bobbing about…

Davy Jones died today at the all-too young age of 66, from a massive heart attack, apparently. I am made sad by this đŚ Davy Jones, indeed The Monkees, were a big part of my early childhood years. I think it’s safe to say Davy Jones was possibly my earliest little-girl crush. I’m not going…

What it’s really like
Have you ever read an obituary and seen the phrase âShe died at home, surrounded by family and those she lovedâ? It sounds almost comforting, doesnât it? Like a desirable way to go, if there were one. Lemme tell you what thatâs really like. Friday, December 23rd. We were told by the Hospice nurses that…
The Courage of Color
When most people think of chainmaille, they envision silverâcool, metallic, traditional, reminiscent of knights and history books. However, modern chainmaille, the kind we weave ring by ring, presents a completely different narrative. It bursts with color, exudes expressiveness, boldness, and for many, that boldness can feel a bit intimidating. We encounter this scenario frequently: someoneâŚ
Chainmaille as Modern Armor: Why We Wear What Makes Us Feel Strong
Thereâs a reason we reach for certain pieces when we need to feel grounded, brave, or a little more ourselves. Jewelry has always been more than decoration. Itâs a signal, a story, a shield. And for many of us, Chainmaille is the closest thing we have to modern armor. We don’t expect battle, but weâŚ
Bold is Beautiful. Wearing a Statement Necklace with Ease.
This Byzantine chainmaille necklaceâthree lush shades of green, held together with larger silver ringsâmight seem bold at first glance. Itâs intricate, significant, unapologetically present.
