i have spent a LOT of time digging through antique stores here in vermont and have come across many treasures. i bought this old ring the other day and am completely mesmerized by it. there is something about it that inspires me, moves me, satisfies me. maybe it has magical powers from the person who wore it long before i found it ? i love the fact that there is history behind this ring, and i hope the next person who gets to wear it feels the same way about it as i do.

Gorgeous!
BTW, I was having purusing some books in the craft/decorating section of Powells the other night. The first book featured YOU and the quilt you made from your daddy's shirts, and then the second one by Lotta Jansdotter had your art in it. I found it to be quite a coincidence. The greater world obviously finds you as delightful as I do.

I keep seeing your work in various places too. Just yesterday, in fact! Handful of Salt's featured artist, April Higashi. She had one of your birth plaques. And of course in Lotta's new book (congrats on that!).
By the way, this beautiful ring looks exactly like my first wedding ring which I loved (I was so young when we married that I still growing!)
