“A diamond is a chunk of coal that did well under pressure.” — Henry Kissinger

With a great husband, I might add. The last few days have been a real blur… no matter how hard I work, or the early hour in which I wake, there just isn’t enough time to get it all done. The quote above gives me a true sense of solace though — and resolve to keep pushing. But bottom line, I couldn’t do it without the love and support of my soulmate. 💎💎💎💎

I’ve been working since 4:30 AM this morning (a

I’ve been working since 4:30 AM this morning (a late start, truth be told) preparing for my next vintage jewelry auction tomorrow morning. In betwixt moving, it’s been stressful… but really a true labor of #vintage love! So happy! ❤️

The last #eclipse, my boys were still babies and holding hands. (At 10 and 14, I don’t think that’ll happen this time ‘round?!) 😂 Worth noting I also made handmade viewing glasses… now I need to know where I can find four last-minute? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Oh, and Alistair’s baby “moving” face pretty much sums up my current mood?! Happy Monday, friends! 🕶️🌤️😎

Pasta for dinner ALWAYS makes me happy… IMO there’s nothing better than a heaping bowl of bucatini! 🍝💯

Happy as a clam… in the throes of moving, packaging countless orders of vintage jewels and coordinating upcoming gig details. Taking it one (busy) day at a time! (More to follow!) 💛

Much love to you all this pleasant April night! 🌼

April 3rd will ALWAYS be one of the BIGGEST calendar days of my life… and it’s no coincidence that “43” has ALWAYS been my lucky number. (Or in the very least, the number I’ve attributed meaning to since I was in my late teens.)

But real talk, last year on 4/3 my son with autism performed at Carnegie Hall to standing ovation. Yes, his middle school band that he performed with (the ONLY middle school band at the event) was amazing, but Aksel in his very own unique fashion made it his own — as he always does.

He took to center stage (after I had to dart onstage to fix his falling pants) to blow kisses and give the 🤟 sign over and over…

It’s a day I will NEVER NEVER EVER forget!

To think I had to FIGHT to just get him in a general education kindergarten classroom! (I was so stressed I literally had to get a brain scan, no lie!)

Point is, NEVER stop pushing or believing or kindly fighting for the good! So proud! Can’t never could (we say it on repeat in our household)… 💙🎶🧩❤️

I won’t always keep it “highlight” worthy, but I will keep it real.
Question for you? How would you handle this situation?

Said no one ever, “When I grow up I want to sell vintage brooches!” 😂

Who da thunk this would be where I’m at… but let me tell you, it makes me HAPPY!

And my husband too, who sits beside me moderating my livestream shows (they’re busy) and stands (when he can) packaging said gems!

For instance, we’ve shipped 250+ vintage brooches in the last 10 days alone… this is what I never knew I wanted to do (but have always loved). So thankful!

Happy Friday to you all! 🌟

Let’s toast this Tuesday night to doing what you LOVE in this life (because you only have one)!

For the first time in my 42 years, I feel so wholeheartedly complete — selling vintage gems by day and singing vintage songs by night!

I am just so happy, and “work” isn’t work… it’s a joy (something I’m happy to wake up at 2 am for).

This is a throwback from years ago, but it signifies perfectly my sentiment right now. Cin cin! 🥂🥂🥂🥂

My in-laws from the eastern shore of Maryland were in town this weekend. This is a picture of my youngest son with his 82-year-old “Pop Pop” (grandfather) — who had just played football with both boys (hat backwards, looking like a teenager). My 14-year-old proclaimed last night as he put too much Old Bay on his French fries, “I’m a Maryland boy!”

Even my father-in-law who according to Ancestry.com is an early 1700s “Chesapeake/Delaware Region Settlers” said, “Woah, that’s too much!”

Long story short, my heart goes out to #Baltimore today! (Said 14-year-old wore his new Orioles hat to school today!) 🧡

This past weekend my 14-year-old said (while listening to “Wild World”), “Mom, Cat Stevens sounds a lot like ‘Seals & Crofts.’” Tonight he just said, “Mom, I want to watch Alfred Hitchcock, and I don’t mean Herbie Hancock!” 🤯 I just LOVE him… and I feel like I’m parenting like I always set out to! (And the hat was his own fashion choice!) 😎🎼🎥

As the night was winding down and the midnight hour was upon us, I sang a few of my favorite ballads with @chrisdodsonmusic at @montagepalmettobluff.

It was a great birthday doing all the things I love: selling vintage jewels and making music from my heart! (I also finally jumped off the fear cliff and sang “My One and Only Love.” I can’t wait to share!)

Wishing you all a happy Wednesday! 🎶🎼🎵
