Ok Gang (assuming at least a gang of people read this), I'll be gone for a few days to DC starting tomorrow. Like I said in an older post, the Rachels are reuniting, along with our dear friends Noah and Ben. There's a lovely blurry photo of everyone except me, so you can feel like you are there!
I just finished this splendid amethyst cocktail ring! Isn't is shiny and lovely and perfect? The setting is neat because a) i made it completely from scratch, and b) the band kind of flares out at the top so that the stone hovers above the finger, which lets the purple really sparkle because light can get in the bottom!
I don't think I'll ever tire of cutting teeth out of silver with a saw. I love how it comes out so much!! This one looks like its growling to me.
Yes ma'am and sir, that is a diamond on the end of the little stalk. and on the other one a little gold ball.
And even though it has a stick of butter and almost 2 cups of sugar, it has apples and oats, so it's healthy, right?
Also new: Mini Weenie! Just a little dog for around you neck, hand cut out of brass. Shiny. Cute. Petite. With feet.
Is it purple? It is black? Is it green? Only the dj of the Midnight Disco knows. And the only way to find out is to own it. 
I could not go to sleep last night for hours. And I mean hours. I think trying to sleep and thinking about never falling asleep again and what will happen if you can never sleep again and how tired you will be in the morning is one of the worst things ever. And now I'm sleepy!
It is a good sized slab of brown agate, with a handmade sterling silver bezel. Perched on a branch is a darling, hand cast little hoot owl. He's so wise. You can tell him all of your secrets and he'll never say a word to anyone else! The pendant comes on a super comfy and strong silver snake chain in any length you wish, from 16 in. to 20 in.
This is us at the Spice Girls reunion tour a couple years ago in Boston. Thus the peace signs. You would NOT believe how much glitter was being worn in the audience! I'm on the left, Rachel M. in the middle, and Rachel J. on the right.
And here.
While on top of Sugarloaf Mountain, where most of the pictures were taken in the post below, my dad told me about how over the weekend a guy proposed to his girlfriend by driving to the top of the mountain, and looking at a field in which he wrote "Ari, Please Marry Me" in pumpkins! I could see it from the top of the mountain, but it was a little hard to make out. Here is the link on the Gazette, and a picture they took. Cute!! They met in high school. Now she is getting her doctorate at UMASS in Amherst and he works in NYC. Would you want a pumpkin proposal? I'm pretty sure I would be okay with that.
Maybe I should make a picture book of Bullet Buddies interacting. I love this scene. Meg, Heather, and Mom are all laughing at Dad. Dad's just having a good laugh.
It's so massive and I love how the lines of the walls are tilting in.
Kirby in his lounge state.He likes to perch on the back of the couch lately. It's his look out.
And , let's see. What else do I have to tell the world.
And something fun for all hallow's eve!
Melody over at Me Melodia did a lovely post on my gigantic geode knuckle ring! what a delightful blog she has, full of wonders. She posted the image above by Irving Penn, an artist I don't know anything about who sadly died a few days ago. The photo makes me want it to be a hot and lazy summer again soon. Don't worry, fall, you will be my favorite forevs.
