Department of Personal Prerogative (II)

Congratulations to our friend Ruth Peltason on the publication of latest new book, the handsomely designed and richly illustrated Living Jewels: Masterpieces from Nature: Coral, Pearls, Horn, Shell, Wood & Other Exotica, which showcases "more than 300 brooches, necklaces, rings, earrings, and bracelets from the collections of the Duchess of Windsor, Diana Vreeland, Elizabeth Taylor, Princess Grace of Monaco, and Ellen Barkin."



For some reason, Ruth saw fit not to include the seashell necklace I made with my own innocent hands many years ago at the juvenile detention center as part of our rehabilitation process--I guess it just wasn't "classy" enough for a Gabor sister.

Be that as it may, it makes for a wonderful gift book this Valentine season, something for the eyes to feast on inside the igloo.
