Look at this modern botanical jewelry by Prismera Design. This piece is sure pretty, and her braided hair is gorgeous too, how do you do that? (Thanks Connie)

We finalized our tickets for Europe, and will be going the end of October/ beginning of November to Paris, Germany, and hopefully Switzerland too. Those banked up, about to expire, frequent flier miles I just remembered, really came in handy.
Since previous reader's comments got me incredibly interested with those French inspired film recommendations, I would also love any suggestions and tips of hip places to go, and what area is best to stay during our 3 nights in Paris. We have never been to France, or to any of the above places.
Do also share some of your favorite German and Swiss inspired films if you got 'em, you readers are very good at that. I'll start you out with this good German film.
I have already checked out Jordan's great Paris guide and Stephanie's little Paris shopping guide + revisit of the Blueprint guide -- all excellent.

Shelley emailed me about Kideko bedding from Australia that looks fun, vibrant, and graphic, something that she created to appeal to a non-pastel using, hip mom and kids clientele.

After I read about Stephanie's accident, I was literally in tears. I hope her and her husband will have a speedy recovery. My thoughts and prayers are going out to them and their family.
I am excited to introduce a guest blogger Michele Katen. I have corresponded with Michele only briefly through email, so I am anxious to learn more about her through her posts this week. Her oil paintings are quite extraordinary. Welcome Michele!
Michele Katen is a figurative oil painter based in San Francisco, California. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree at Lyme Academy in 1998 and continues to use traditional handmade oil paint and lead primed linen. Michele's artwork portrays modern women and children in American suburban life. Her paintings have been exhibited in art galleries located in the northeast as well as the San Francisco Bay Area. Most recently, her work was chosen for Studio Visit Magazine.
Please visit her website, www.michelekaten.com, for some examples of her work.
