Hello Sandy- Goodbye Fall!

Hurricane Sandy may not be a hurricane any more, but the beast howling around outside is NOT friendly.  We are blessed to be warm and safe and together.  Dear Lord who creates hurricanes, watch over your children as this monster prowls and growls up the east coast.  Amen.

And back to Gem ID before we lose power, probably for days!  Sandy's knocked down all of the autumn leaves, so enjoy this lovely Tiffany necklace, on www.1stdibs.com.  Wouldn't you love to know this piece's provenance?

(Good advice for coffee fiends- if you expect to lose power, prepare a pot of coffee ahead of time and put it in a thermos to stay warm, just in case.)
