i recently received an email from christa reniers
she's a jewelry designer from belgium
with shops in brussels, antwerp, & ghent

these rings were 2 of my favorites from her collection

saturday i went to the dog show at mccormick place for the
international kennel club of chicago
for a dog lover like me, it was cool to see all the breeds in person

the highlight was meeting floyd & his friends
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .also here & here
floyd's father is the current grand champion of the breed
you may have seen him if you watched westminster on tv
