Hi, Caitlin, How are you? I hope that you enjoyed peaceful, joyful holidays. I haven't logged in in a long time, and would like to change my login name. How do I do that? Sorry to pester you with a stupid question after having missed so many posts. Thank you in advance for your patience...

Terry, Wow! I'll take your all-nacre strand over South Sea pearls any day. Spectacular!!! They must be heavy.

Hi, waimeamomi, I've clicked on all of your treasury links, and all appear to have expired! (I am supposed to be able to connect to treasuries). What am I doing wrong? (I wanna see 'em!!! wanna see!!!) Thanks, CarolK ;) p.s. Actually, never mind, I was able to link to your creations via...

That's exactly what America needs--not an ascetic leader like Gandhi or Marcus Aurelius, but a leader who wears a gargantuan, in-your-face pearl neckace when her nation faces a titanic financial crisis. Politicians sure are a hideous lot (oh, outwardly as well). Kerry, Clinton, and the...

Jeremy, You are one akamai dude!!! Wow. Raisondetre, Yuzu seeds. If you find and plant them, can you expect to harvest citron in your lifetime? Seriously. Also, I'll have dinner at your house at any time. From what you cultivate, you must be a fabulous cook!

I'll bet that alcoholic beverages, prescribed drugs, and illegal drugs are doing as well, if not better than ever. Methamphetamine businesses seem to be growing out here in Colorado. We are truly entering a time of crisis or opportunity to rise above.

Blaire, Many thanks for the fabulous photos! 'minds me of a kumquat! Cliclasp, It's so great that you own such a fine melo melo. I feel now as though I've met a "pearl celebrity"! (Have you named it?)

Jeremy, Will untreated hanadamas be a regular Pearl Paradise option (in small quantities)? If so, this is HUGE and great news!!!

Hahaha!!! Just realized (in slow motion, as usual); Sheri, was the Heart of the Lagoon the reason for your Kamoka vacation? Braving the famous wobbly, railing-less, over-the-coral-shallows walkway was doubtless the test to see if you were worthy of it. :D Again, this is all really, really...

Wow!!! Hehe. I'm sooo glad that "Heart" has stayed in the family! I had been wondering about it lately.

Oops. For the third keeper, I pick second from the bottom

Waimeamomi, I hope you keep the top two. To my untrained eye, the second from the top is killer. I go for shape, rather than color, and prefer the poils that resemble mitotic cells. Speaking of which, Pandaexpress, your strand is to drool for! (Can't ID them, since I fled the Tahitian Sale...

Boo, I love it! It feels spontaneous, and is quite beautiful. The puka shells rest so nicely on the pearl. I even like the gold chain with it, and think that the gold may end up working better than the leather. The tension of the pendant on the chain seems just right aesthetically...

They're all great, but that little octopus makes me happy. :) He's got personality! Nice job with the pendants!

That's gotta be one of the cutest ornaments I've ever seen!!!
