Better Mornings...

I was featured on Better Mornings Atlanta a few weeks ago in a Daily Candy segment about Valentine's Day gifts. Excellent. I can't seem to figure out how to embed the clip (anyone?), but you can watch it here, check it out around 1:40...

Daily Candy featured me today in their Atlanta edition!


"First came the rubber motto bracelets. Then the oversize rhinestone peace sign necklace. And finally, Stacy and Clinton.

There’s an easier way to show you got the message: sleekly gothic jewelry by Athens metalworker Laurel Hill.

Individually stamped pieces combine personal quotations with an Edward Gorey aesthetic. So you can speak your mind while minding your manners.

Spread the word with silver necklaces, knuckle-dusters, and rings large enough for phrases like “Toujours” and “Love will tear us apart.” (Someone actually requested that one.) Custom orders take about a week and can be done in copper or gold.

Proving your distinct taste and the will to use it?

That’s really making a statement."

Defend like a champion today.

I got a custom order for a banner cuff bracelet with the words "defend like a champion today" and the buyer sent me a message explaining her inspiration...

"I work for the public defender, and plan to focus my career on providing free legal representation to poor folks. I just found out I passed the bar, and I want to remind myself to fight my hardest everyday for my clients."

What an awesome lady.

was excellent, as usual. Thanks Serra!

I.C.E. was super! I ran into some old much-missed friends, including a surprise from Byron who bought a small coffee farm in the Dominican Republic. Excellent. Here are some photos, although I love how I didn't bother to straighten my display before taking them...

Amazing
