So "Octavia" is now bumming drinks from people next to her at restaurants, you say? Sake, eh? Tisk, tisk.

Glad to see Octavia had so much fun at PP! Too bad she was only allowed to lick all the pearls. But at least she got her mineral quotient for the year.

Thank you Blaire and Octavia. The pictures are so great. I felt like I was there. Octavia, you are a gal after my own heart.

Hi Blaire and Octavia,

You two DO have the most amazing adventures!!! It will be hard to top this one! I can just see Octavia doing the tooth test at Tiffany's!!

so many pearls, so little time

First, let me say, I'm certain they don't allow cameras at Tiffanys, although that is a terrific idea. Heck, I would pay a hundred dollars to see Octavia shop on camera at Tiffanys.

Octavia is 23 years old. She says she was born in June.

Oh, the necklace! Jeremy tried to talk me into putting it on, but it was too HUGE for me. And I would have to take out a mortgage to buy it...

Hanalei Mom, Natalie is holding the strand of pearls in the photo. I think it's Marina with her hand at her face.

Octavia thanks everyone for their comments. I wish you all could have joined us!

Hi Blaire,

Thanks for the lovely photos and story. It really picked up my spirits. I just received some tragic news from a dear friend, and a little light-heartedness was needed right now. So with all sincerity, thanks for the timing.

Why Blaire,
I think you found your "voice"! Looking forward to seeing more. I agree she needs a crown- or a tiara of pearls -

[john675]

Love the post - seeing PP through Octavia's eyes...

[jshepherd]

Octavia was a joy to have for the day! She got a little tipsy on the sake during lunch. It was all Blaire and I could do to keep her out of the pearls when she came back. That girl loves her pearls!

[GemGeek]

Okay, I guess I'll have to make Octavia a pearl crown -- just as soon as I finish my taxes, that is!

Thank you for the great tour, Octavia (or is she HM The Queen Mother?)! Looking forward to many more adventures . . . .

My favorite is the first tooth test! She looks so innocently NOT innocent!

Better be careful, Blaire, otherwise you'll lose your identity and we'll all just know you as "Octavia's Mom".

Hey - isn't that Octavia's Mom wearing Octavia's pearls? Why doesn't she get her own?
Hey - Octavia's Mom - can she come out and play?
Hey - wasn't that your girl, Octavia, we saw on Pearl-Guide last month? Oh - I'm sorry - what was your name?
Hi Mrs. Octavia. I was hoping I could come in and play dress-up with Octavia and her pearl necklaces!! How about it?


On a different note, I was AMAZED at the clasp on Jeremy's Wilma Pearls. It was amazing! I'd take just the clasp!

I'd better look out before I fade into the background. I went to lunch today and my friend asked why I didn't bring Octavia. Really. This is the friend I went out with for drinks on Friday night. It's already happening!

[Caitlin]

It's too late Blaire. You already jumped off that cliff!

[knotty panda]

I really admire you, Blaire. As we can all readily see, that Octavia is quite a handful!

[GemGeek]

"hand-full"? Ha!
