1. Free stuff! Across the nation, select department stores are giving away free beauty products. Find out more info at cosmeticssettlement.com. Apparently from 1994-2003 they overcharged or something of that sort and have settled a lawsuit resulting in free stuff for um, anyone. (It's supposed to be for customers who bought cosmetics, etc. from them during that time period. They're giving it all away until January 26th or until they run out.) Cool.
2. I really don't like photographing jewelry. It's not fun. However, I'm happy to now have new stuff on Etsy!
3. Quote of the day: Calder's jewelry is as pretty as his mobiles--some of it too is "mobile"--and often more seriously lovely. If the lady of fashion has wit to see it, she may find that pieces of human ingenuity make rather more distinguished ornaments than Cartier's portable currency.

Wow. That bracelet is truly a work of art. I think your pics are actually very good. Simple backgrounds that really make the work pop. Jewelry is much harder to photograph than people might think.
