Neccos on hand. Dr. Seuss earrings on store (cool display, too). And today, I'm reminded (by a friend's post) of these earrings (already at the store), one of my favorites....

Persistence pays off. Many months. Many phone calls. Many emails. 500+ pounds of Necco wafers (broken, seconds). Stay tuned!

Slightly better photo of the hula girls (including a bit of the lenticular action)....aiming for a really good pic of them coming soon, but I just have to replace that not-so-hot photo of them....

I'm a devoted fan of Dr. Seuss (yeah, that's why I cut up his books... I know), and an even bigger fan of lighthearted playful jewelry (yes, they're for adults, but only ones who've not abandoned the playfulness of childhood....)

Thank you, Jennifer, for providing your hula earrings to be photographed! These have been a very big seller, and I just managed to get more materials (they are 60's vintage pieces from a company that folded in the 70's, so not easy to come by), so there are more coming. To those who haven't seen them...these are "flickers", and the hula girl images actually move....er, dance!!
