		<title>To bangle, or not to bangle?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll agree, I have a fantastic photographer.  He just gets what the line is about, and he knows how to make each piece of jewelry look great.  Sometimes he even makes things look&#8211;how to put this?&#8211;larger than life.  Take, for example, the image below:

Over the past few months, I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cheated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s hard to believe that the summer has come to an end already, when weather-wise it seems like it never happened around here in Sonoma County.  We had a heatwave in May, but by June it became almost frigid, and it stayed that way. I had happily pulled out all my favorite summer clothing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Great Expectations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Happy Mother&#8217;s Day!
I&#8217;ve been working on a new necklace in honor of those oft-unsung heroes, and I thought you might enjoy hearing about the back-story for my design-in-progress.
When I was pregnant with my youngest son three years ago, I was on bed-rest for many weeks to prevent preterm labor, and to say that I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windfall</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It snowed this morning.  Flurries of lacy white swirled outside my window momentarily and then subsided as the wind died down.
No, it&#8217;s not a freak storm&#8211;it&#8217;s just an ordinary spring afternoon in the orchards surrounding my house.  It&#8217;s apple blossom season in the Gravenstein orchards, and all it takes is a little breeze [...]]]></description>

		<title>Got glamour?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Great design should be a treat for the senses.  To me, the visual splendor of a gorgeous piece of jewelry (for example) is a natural equivalent to the tactile pleasure of wearing an extraordinary garment or the sublime taste experience of eating an exotic fruit.  I find it even more enjoyable when these [...]]]></description>

		<title>Edible Inspiration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like to think of myself as an individual, but when it comes to chocolate, let’s face it: I’m about as stereotypical a chocoholic as it gets.  When I was pregnant with my youngest son, I read an article about a European study that found that women who ate chocolate at least once a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Charmed, I&#8217;m sure.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite things about jewelry is that every piece has a unique history.
Consider for a moment when metal is recycled.  Mingling companionably are bits of gold from a thousand unknown sources&#8211;ranging from the romantic, like the Duchess of Cumberland&#8217;s opera necklace; to the sentimental, like Betty Jane Smythe&#8217;s wedding band; and even to [...]]]></description>
