I’m taking today to say thank you to my Uncle Russell (and all those who have served). My uncle passed away several years ago, so I find this day very emotional.

Uncle Russell, his beard, and baby me!

One of my favorite stories about Uncle Russell was that when he left Viet Nam, he ended up in California. He got his first motorcycle, and drove all the way across the country before calling home. Instead, he just ended up walking into the backdoor of the house where my mom, Grandma Helen and Grandpa Howard were living.
Thank you.
I’m super excited to share that I just dropped off a bunch of jewelry at a new store in Alameda, called Modern Mouse! The store won’t be open until November 9th, but it’ll be worth the wait, because the wares are bound to excite and impress. Here’s a peek at some of the pieces I’ll have there:

Petri Dish Earrings

Cell Stem Earrings, Sterling Silver

Cell Formation Necklace, Sterling Silver
You should definitely check Modern Mouse out if you’re in the bay area. You can go to the website (link above) to see a lot of the other artists that will have goods for sale there. I can’t wait for the grand opening on Saturday, November 14th (from 2 to 6pm!).
