i don't hate fall!

summer was meteorological over the first of september and officially over after labor day, but i cling to each and every sun ray til the bitter end: 9:18pm this tuesday, the exact time of the autumnal equinox. in fact, i am outside now, with fleece pants tucked into long socks and three layers on top: it's 68 degrees here on the chesapeake bay: burr! leaves are falling and a few are bright red (a little early for fall color, but not a huge amount of rain here), and i am feeling it: my cool weather clothes are sooo great! additionally, i ordered about 2/3 of anna sui's collection for target, so i'm ready! this little leaf pendant, electroformed in copper and on an adjustable black satin cord is a great fall accessory to wear with it all!

feather wig by katsuya kamo

wow...i love this feather wiglet from katsuya kamo designed for the spring 2009 chanel haute couture runway show: c'est fantastique, n'est pas?! (shout out to mom and dad for forcing me to take 9 years of french back in the day: i can also say "croissant" correctly!) i also have the perfect choker to wear under that great coat.

new work on herbanelements.etsy.com

just listed in my herban elements etsy shop four cool new necklaces i made and photographed this weekend. the piece shown above is a sterling silver burr my mom found in the utah desert outside of las vegas that i lost wax cast. it turned out like a tiny disco ball!
