Out birthday looking, I spied in my local mall a Na Hoku jewelers. Attracted as I always am, to the Tahitian black pearls, something glittery caught my eye in the window.
This yellow gold Tree Frog ring with tsavorite, one of the bright green stones of the garnet family, can leap home with me if he […]

For some reason, the elastic ends of the sheets I buy wear out. I don’t know why, they just do. I was giving up on having sheets that stay on the mattress, when I stopped into Linens ‘n Things, thinking the folks there might help.
“I need something like suspenders for my sheets,” I said, and […]

Head’s up, women: Under Armour’s gone <gasp> PINK. I first discovered this uber-competitive image gear when I stole a UA shirt from my soccer-playing son’s gym bag a few years ago. Needless to say, I never returned it. The sensually silky feel of the stuff – added to the fact that I can wear it […]

When Robert B. Parker writes a scene where Spenser and his partner in brawn, Hawk, walk into a restaurant and start giving orders to crime lords, it’s in Legal Seafoods.
And if you’re not a die-hard Parker fan (you’re the one?), you’ll know Legal Seafoods by the fact that it has served its chowder at the […]

Having mad skills and little money meant my mother made a lot of clothes. And when those clothes had to be fancy — like a suit for a job interview or a wedding dress — we’d head to the Windsor Button Shop in downtown Boston.
For just a suit jacket or a coat, we would sort […]
