I bought a golden Elephant God from this beautiful Thai woman on the street in Bangkok. I just loved how glittery it was. I didn't realize it would come with a blessing. Not only did she pray over it she sprinkled yellow flower petals over it as she gave him a blessing. She also filled my purse with petals.
Everything is blooming here. It's hot, humid and rains frequently, so go figure-the city is in bloom! They've even attached ferns to the sides of the trees which are thriving on every street.
Gekkos are everywhere. This one was above us in the resturant. They are so delicate and surreal. I've seen them in our bathroom, the massage house... mostly indoors. Good for mosquito control!
Ok, so this piece is not for everyone, but it's my pick for today's favorite. This picture doesn't really give it justice. It's all gemstones and lays flat. It looks really Egyptian to me. $195. If you love it as much as I do, (there is only one) call Sue at the shop today. Toll free 877-435-6444 or 619-435-9211.

Ten years ago my husband and I traveled to Vietnam for a vacation. I met some of the women trying to do business there and decided to try to help them via the Grameen Bank micro loan program. For the past ten years I've donated money and as well as employing women in Hanoi to make pearl jewelry for my customers.
Since then I've traveled to Laos, Cambodia, England, France, Turkey, Nepal,Thailand,Mexico and Greece to buy exotic one-of-a-kind jewelry.
Annually I return to Turkey and Thailand to buy gemstone jewelry.
I recently began designing my own line of jewelry using unusual gemstones to fashion beautifully designed pieces.
At 63 I have found my passion and the Universe just keeps giving me more blessings.
Three years ago, after setting up booths at women's fundraisers for six years, I opened a jewlery store in Coronado, California. And though I sell much more than pearls, the name d Forsythe Pearls remains!
