Unfortunate Coincidence



This picture was taken in Rehobeth Beach, Delaware. Sigh. You can see from my expression that I was slightly disheartened to see another Adeline, from New York, selling jewelry. And in such poor taste. Hot pink? The inside of the store is reminiscent of a tacky establishment called Bejeweled, in the Polish neighborhood of Greenpoint, where my friend Haley and I used to go to buy cheap hoop earrings.

The only cure for the disdain I feel is to head off to the Gem and Jewelry Show in San Mateo later today. Nothing like gem therapy to cure the creative blues.

Ch-ch-changes!

A long hiatus, I know. I have relocated (temporarily) to my hometown of Oakland, CA, in the hopes of attending trade school out here. The Revere Academy in San Francisco has a short, intensive program for a bench jeweler's certificate. Will probably start next year, as I will be continuing my traveling adventures this fall in Argentina! For now, another plug for a favorite designer:


Jessica De Carlo has a new website (gotta love that model, too)! Check out the link at left.
