  1. Oh wow what a post. Six degrees - or less - of separation.

    I also remember James Dean - just. And Kennedy more so. In fact my husband taught his daughter Caroline at Sotheby's in England and she played with my baby daughter in the 1970s.

    Such a beautiful necklace but can't find it on your website (BTW many links don't work). I will try emailing you. Best wishes, Cx

    1. If one of our merchandise photos doesn't open it means the item is SOLD OUT, and it redirects you back to the main page. We will work on making this easier to deal with. The necklace will be up tonight. Thank you for telling us and leaving the comment.

    2. Hi - I tried again to pin an image just now and received the following error message "“Sorry, couldn’t find any pinnable images or video on this page.” Thanks in advance if you can correct this.

  3. Pierce Brosnan.....such a handsome man, despite his dreadful singing in "Mamma Mia", I have almost managed to erase that from my mind!!
    He always seems like a very decent man, glad to hear he was that way in real life.

    Gorgeous images Marsha Xx

  9. Pierce is one of my favorite actors; loved how he stood by his first wife when she was ill. Those angora goats are AAAdorable! Marsha, I don't think many people know I started out with two adorable Pygora goats...pygmy x angora...Agatha and Esmeralda: The Fabulous Goatini Sisters...I wrote little stories about them, their antics were wonderful. Many thanks for that lovely photo; I can just feel that fabulous fiber.

  10. Marsha, not sure my comment is going thru...?
    Anyway, Pierce is a favorite and has been ever since he took care of his first wife while she was ill. What a gentleman of the old school!
    Love those Angora goats; not many know I started out with Pygora goats...pygmy x angora and they were totally cute! I called them
    Agatha and Esmeralda: The Fabulous Goatini Sisters. They were a hoot! Into everything and I still have photos and stories about them. Love them dearly; Marsha, thank you for those wonderful memories and that terrific photo...I could just kiss them to pieces!

Please know how much I value your comments. I read every single one and do hope you will take the time to leave your thoughts. I think InstaGram with the Emojis have taken a lot away from blogging, but I love IG too.
