Life is a mashup of toys and gadgets, hobbies and recipes, kids and odd socks, all held together with love and duct tape.
I loved this interview with Stephen Colbert on David Letterman. It was interesting to hear Stephen speak in his more “real” voice, as opposed to the ultra-conservative pundit he portrays on The Colbert Report. He talked about trying to earn a living building futon frames, being a dad to three kids, and a bit about [...]

Here is one that has lots of juicy green and orange, including peridot and citrine, and sterling silver. It’s a 20 inch necklace that will not be ignored! It may look good enough [...]
