Yum & Yuk

These large black and gold "Cornelia" earrings would be great for a holiday outfit (Thanks KC).

I've finally gotten around to starting a book club! Our first meeting is not till January (I figured post-holiday would be best) but I'm looking forward to it - I want more books in my life, and more book-loving people and discussion around me! Our first choice: "The Elegance of the Hedgehog." It comes highly recommended by two people whose opinions I trust, plus it's out in paperback - two factors in my book choices. I'm hoping we eventually tackle both fiction and non-fiction, but we will see how it goes.

The sweetest ring ever? Maybe.

From the New Yorker, "Why We Use Cookbooks."
