Toni is a friend at work. Smart, funny and mother for Charlie (the sweetest little baby girl). When Toni came back to work she was wearing Charlie’s initial as an earring. It was a gold tiny C – you could miss it if you weren’t paying attention. A fresh take on the Mom necklace with kids initials – and an opportunity to keep talking, I asked about her earring.

Catbird, the boutique in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.  This shoppe features & specializes in local designers and balances them with some great brands/designers from, well, everywhere. Definitely a jewelry shoppe worth popping into because you may be surprised to find other fun things – I saw a beautiful box for my desk, with mermaid on it on their website (here).  I also love Hortense Friendship bracelets (here).  
Check out the site or shoppe.  Tell me – what is your favorite item?
