Flying High

On the wings of . . .

givre glass!

Givre is the word in the world of costume jewelry used to describe rhinestones that have been infused with a second color.

Most givre glass was made in Germany, although the word is french . . . for "frost" . . . go figure out that meandering etymology . . .

The colors of this former dragonfly brooch are awesome givres of opalescent and "creamsicle", vibrant orange fire opal, fuschia, and opaque pink.

Such a unique treasure!

Bohemian Rhapsody

An interpretation of one of my all time favorite songs!

I wonder if it would make Freddie want to do the Fandango with a Scaramouche?

Anthillian at Heart


06/15/10

She searches for tiny treasures with such care, and with such an eye for the detail and history of what she's seeking -- and we relate to that as Anthillians.

Recently Vivian brought in some of the antique medallions, tie tacs and lapel pins she's gotten from Anthill over the last few months, and I assimilated them into a special treasure necklace with matching asymmetrical earrings.

I couldn't have been more delighted with how they turned out and she looks so awesome wearing them.

Vivian, I know the meaning the pieces hold for you -- we feel the same about these often overlooked little records of history, which somehow respect the former lives and accomplishments of their owners.

It is beyond gratifying to be able to offer them a voice, a home, a presence, a custodian -- and in this case, all of the above.

You're beautiful, Vivian . . .
and us Anthillians love ya!

A Tisket, A Tasket

06/13/10

A tisket, a tasket
A Czechoslovakian basket.

Vintage Czech jewels -- truly some of the most delightful and beautiful costume jewelry EVER made.

I wish I came across more of it than I do.

Yeah, I'd pick a basket of aqua blue berries to put in that . . . :)

Starry, Starry Nite

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

I have always loved this picture.

I took it back in my VCU college days.
It was taken in Richmond's
remarkable Hollywood Cemetery.

Peace.

Rest in peace my beautiful brother.

Life dealt you a rough hand.

And the role model you were was unparalleled.



A lifetime of severe mental complications coupled with paralyzing multiple sclerosis and yet throughout your life you remained so spirited and held more joy than many people may ever come to find. What an inspiration you have ALWAYS been.



I want front row seats to the concert with you put on with Jimi Hendrix.

I love you CC. You save a spot up there for me.

Tell God I said Hi.
