Hello, world. It's been too long! Fall was an adventuresome semester without much time for the periphery. This term is a bit freer, which gives me the liberty to have . . . a trunk show! Casa Smeralda, next to the Blue Dolphin Cafe on St. Armands Circle, is having a trunk show of my all-occasion jewelry designs on Sunday, February 10 from 4 to 6 p.m. I am busy working on new designs: lots of long lariats for wrapping and tying, and some multistrand necklaces to twist or wear loose. New earrings, too - single drops and more elaborate examples, some on posts for more delicate earlobes. Come see me!
