Oooh. This is perfect for when I need to weave in ends and keep losing the needle amid all the things. Also, adorable!

A London Shopping Mall Was Dying. Then Taylor Swift Put It in a Music Video. A shot of the pop star on an escalator holding a pretzel injected life into a decrepit shopping center in Croydon.

The Taylor Swift economic effect arrives again. #music #economy

A minor league hockey team had a wiener dog race. Zero thoughts, just vibes and absolute chaos. A thing of beauty

That amber stone is mesmerizing!

Inside a 12-Hour Workday for a 2-Hour Broadway Show WSJ spent a day in the life of a Broadway electrician to reveal the billion-dollar machine behind this American art form—from the factory floor to a nearly sold-out performance.

This is fun. WSJ spent a day with a Broadway electrician to go behind the scenes in how performances are put together. #theater #broadway

A hand with nails painted dark blue has two sterling silver rings. One has purple amethyst and pink sapphire stones. The other is a sterling silver octopus with amber head and eyes.

Love my new-to-me, refurbished sterling silver rings from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social

Both are going to be favorites. Gem info in alt text.

Love the pale jade rectangle ring in lower left. Lots of other nice ones too but that one is a stunner

Italy gets creative as it works to make art accessible for blind people Italy is making its artistic treasures more accessible to people with disabilities. Michela Marcato, who has been blind since birth, recently toured Rome's Colosseum, using touch to understand its arc...

“But in 2021, as a condition of receiving European Union pandemic recovery funds, Italy accelerated its accessibility initiatives, dedicating more attention and resources to removing architectural barriers and making its tourist sites and sporting venues more accessible.”

Okay after months of seeing all the drool-worthy photos, I have finally ordered the book from my indie shop. I just don’t do well with ebook cookbooks but that’s a great deal for people who do.

Book enabler. Bread enabler. May these labels haunt you.

Sterling, yes, but you have a good eye for designs so I would be interested in what you find in other metals.

Totally understand that you need to ration your silver budget, so maybe find a few and see if there’s wider interest when you post for sale?

Also, because I apparently want to give you all my money, let me know if you ever expand to selling brooches.

Okay please size up the pink sapphire and amethyst to a 9 and I’ll buy it! Def a good price. Recycled packaging is good for me. This is SUCH good sparkly.

Size 8 rings with a blue and amber ring circled

Could I learn more about these 4 size 8 rings and whether the sterling ones can size up to 8.5?

Thanks for letting me know!

Is the bangle heavy or medium weight? Can’t wear heavy stuff on my wrists. Love the colors though

Hey, hey. Some of us are amber and amethyst weirdos.

Judith's Brooch? - Laurie R. King One of the joys of writing a long-lived series is the community that grows up around it. Which means I get letters like this one—a particularly appropriate

In my continuing "visiting my favorite authors' websites" quest, I came across this great story on the blog of Laurie R. King, who writes the great Russell-Holmes series as well as other intriguing mysteries. It's about the careful restoration of a century-old brooch. #jewelry #booksky

Love the Tết novella. The characters, including side ones, had so many similarities to my aunties and cousins. Well, we don’t have all the stabbing and murder.

Loved 1 and 2 and cannot wait for the delicious plotting and yearning in Melting the Ice Queen!

Thanks and good luck!

I will prepay to snag this ring. Set up the page and I’ll buy. Send it whenever it arrives. I trust you all.

Do you have another like this in size 8 to 10? Price? Also, I just got the ruby ring and it’s exactly what I wanted!

Jason Statham gives his bargain-bin Bourne some heart in Shelter The schlocky Shelter sees Jason Statham play a supersoldier thrust back into a life he left behind with an unexpected ward to protect.

Home Alone mixed with Jason Bourne was the ending of Skyfall. If the new Jason Statham movie has lots of that, I am here to be distracted by such gleeful destruction. #movies
