elsa peretti | tiffany
I don’t think there’s a bigger fan of Elsa Peretti’s creations than me. Really.
———–
UPDATE: one of my blog readers just emailed me with the following question:
Swissmiss, Because you are such a fan, I am wondering if you have any ideas about where to look for a vintage Elsa Peretti mini open heart pendant necklace. They were for sale in the 80’s and are not carried at Tiffany anymore. I can only find the medium sized one on ebay. My sister and I had matching necklaces that we never removed for 20 years until her chain broke and the heart got lost. I am trying to replace it for her. Thank you.
Can anyone help? If so, email me and I’ll connect the two of you. Thanks!

hanging birdball
Love the design of this birdhouse. Simply beautiful. I wonder though if birds appreciate minimalistic design or if they would want to live in something more ‘rustic’. Hmm…
