If youโ€™re ever in Catbird in LA and see a huge antique mirror there, thatโ€™s from our house! The interior designer bought it from us. YES to engraved pinky rings. I have a silver one with three of my initials. (I have 5 but only three would fit lol). Also want a simple gold band pinky ring ร  la Louis de Pointe du Lac from Interview With the Vampire movie.

And another thing I wanted to ask, I think in one of your daily drips you wrote about acquiring a garmin. Can you let me know which model you have and whether you recommend? Another aspiring runner here.

I'm getting into a jewellery phase and have decided to make my own charm necklace by building up a collection of pendants. I found a locket at a charity shop the other day which has sparked this decision! i think it's probably a better/slower idea than buying one... but don't get me wrong i totally understand/respect/commiserate with your purchase remorse!!
