So Big by Edna Ferber - Today is Mother's Day, and I started out by treating my self to leisurely finishing So Big. Edna Ferber won the Pulitzer Prize for this novel about a woman named Selina and a city called Chicago. It takes place at the turn of the century, and although the story covers many years, and many lives, it's compact and musical. You'll never hear the phrase "Cabbages are Beautiful" again without thinking of Selina. Reading this was a real treat.
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
