B'Mom, I just checked with the jeweler with the wonderful estate department. Nothing in his collection at this time. I think they are pricey, but still less than others. I can give you the numbers of a few other reputable jewelers in my area who might have something if you like.

Okay, here is some H (and BBL logic and math:) Because the VCA will undoubtedly wind up in PB's hands someday, perhaps on some special birthday, how can you not justify it with that in mind?

That's how I justified the H-Scarf Collection! I love that she'll be able to say, as she's dropping her DD off at school, I remember when Nonna wore this when she took me to school....

I would LOVE that, BBL! Thank you so much!

Pikesville Jewelry & Coin (410) 653-3430. Specializes in really unusual pieces, but could have some VCA, because they are in a "high rent district" and do a lot of estate, gold and silver buying. DH has gotten be some great pieces there. Closed Sunday and Monday.
Albert Smyth & Company http://www.smythjewelers.com/ and you can call them 1-800-638-3333. They used to be a family-owned large company. Now they are a huge company with lots of stores associated with them. They are also huge Pandora and have two boutiques at a local mall. They had lots of beautiful estate things, but now I'm not certain what they have.
I'll keep my eyes open. Anything for a PFer & daughter. I did try with the Chanel nail polish, but that was Mission Impossible.

I just finished a good read. The Collection by Gioia Diliberto, a novel about a young seamstress in 1919 who works for Chanel in Paris. It is interesting to learn about the world of couture and Paris right after WWI. Also, there is the aspect counterfeiting of art and designer goods. Really a good read.
I read it on my nook.

I have a question for our non-US Chat Peeps. Have any of you seen Whiskas Crunch for sale? It's not available in the US anymore and Winky loved it. It comes in a little purple can. Winky said he'd like some and now I am on the hunt...

Thimp - Crunch is totally different from Temptations. Winky could provide you with a dissertation about the differences.

Booksnchocolate - He's just fine and totally taking advantage. I'm breaking out in a rash waiting to hear what the vet has to say.

Nurse - thank you.

Serious question, Peeps. What do I do if I am not the right dog-mom for HenHen? This morning he peed in the bed. No schedule change, he just was apparently more full than usual and whoops! He actually stopped himself, but I didn't realize he wasn't finished, so I get up, half-awake, and crate Henry for a moment while I pull back the sheets so the urine doesn't reach the mattress, at which point Henry says he is not finished, not even close, and finishes peeing in the crate. Much to his dismay. And mine. Then, Olive abandoned her breakfast without finishing it, at which point Henry left his, gulped hers, then finished his. All in the space of about 6 seconds. Which I failed to prevent. I KNEW I should have been standing over Olive's breakfast just in case, but I stepped back into the kitchen for a moment, and. . . mistake. So, I'll be expecting loose stool in a few hours (from us both. Major adrenaline overload for me. And I know--way TMI). Last night Henry leapt on the sofa when I got up to let Olive out and almost managed to eat my dinner, which was a Moroccan chicken that had (toxic) raisins in it. He didn't get much, if any, but it was a scary experience. For me. Henry was just crabby that he didn't succeed. I spent a futile hour trying to Google the toxic dose of raisins for a 5 kg dog. (Answer: No one knows. Anything from 1/4 ounce to one--yep, ONE--raisin.)
So, I feel like I am just not quick or observant enough to keep Henry safe. And what was I doing with a raisin-containing dish anyway? What kind of horrible dog-mom takes that risk? (I realize there is no way I can keep every potential dog-dangerous item out of Henry's way. Can't be done. But I feel I should be doing better.) And I love the little bug, but I question whether he is in the right house. Weepy here. Henry is chewing his Nylabone dinosaur, oblivious.
Okay, long, sad post, for which I apologize. Vibes welcomed. But only after Winky's got his for the day! First things first!
