Damned inconvenient
So my week/weekend was spent productively – had every window in my house replaced, had the space between my garage and fence cleared, leveled and graveled over to create a parking pad for the new SUV, and installed a lovely little fence/gate at the corner of the garage to re-enclose the yard after having torn…

It bursts with color, exudes expressiveness, boldness, and for many, that boldness can feel a bit intimidating. We encounter this scenario frequently: someone…
Chainmaille as Modern Armor: Why We Wear What Makes Us Feel Strong
There’s 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. It’s 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 we…
Bold is Beautiful. Wearing a Statement Necklace with Ease.
This Byzantine chainmaille necklace—three lush shades of green, held together with larger silver rings—might seem bold at first glance. It’s intricate, significant, unapologetically present.
