It's a Nice Day for a White Wedding

Posted by Janet Bocciardi on Thu, 10/28/2010 - 8:41am in artisan earrings

I'm not sure why, but until now I've not designed wedding jewelry. Why now? Perhaps it's the recent nuptials of my niece. Perhaps it's the special anniversary number my husband and I are celebrating this year. I'm not sure, but I've been having some fun with Winter Wedding Earrings. Will your groom say sweet nothings in your ear and melt these away?

Never to Hit the Shop, but Customers are Happy

As I've written before commissions are both exciting and a little scary. The best situation happens when the client trusts that I will come up with something they'll love.

A Hushpuppy by Any Other Name would Smell as Sweet

On a driving vacation through the Southeast a few years ago, I introduced my husband to crab cakes and hush puppies. Of course he'd had delectable Dungeness Crab crab cakes from the San Francisco Bay Area growing up, but it was his first taste of Chesapeake Bay blue crab cakes. He chased that first crab cake sandwich taste all the way down the coast from Virginia Beach to Melbourne, Florida comparing each one to that first one we enjoyed at a diner just outside Williamsburg, Virginia.

Crowns for the Contented

Posted by Janet Bocciardi on Wed, 10/06/2010 - 4:00pm in artisan earrings | 3 comments

Being a princess conjurs up an image of being high maintenance, enough to scare off many a man. But the reality is that many of us that are easy to please and are, for lack of a better word, non-demanding, still want to be treated like a princess or queen once in awhile. And that goes for women that aren't paired up, too! Looking for a bunco gift? This Petite Crown (SOLD) fits the budget and will be much desired.
