What a fun trip! Thank you for all the pictures!

Octavia seems to really enjoy life and everything that comes her way, a great companion to have!

Hi Blaire,

Was hitting some art galleries downtown today and popped into Tiffanys for a quick check-------------------------
If you bring Octavia to Portland sometime, we can take her to Tiffany's where a friend now works and do the TOOTH TEST! I gotta say though, our store didn't have anything very exciting, mostly boring diamonds. (That is very disrespectful, huh.) Saw Elsa Peretti "pearls by the yard, pretty but rather small, and this store doesn't stock much of a pearl collection at all. One large SS held in the mouth of a pave diamond crab broach. The best stuff was Paloma Picasso who had big nuggety opaque gem necklaces. Octavia had a LOT more fun at Jeremy's than she ever could at Tiffany's!!!!!

Here is a nice listing for a crown on ebay link. Buy it now is 19.99 This business also has other "medieval" crowns that I haven't looked at yet. I wanted to get this up because it only has three hours to go.

This one might work. It is only 15.99 for Buy it now and has two hours to run. LINK

Here is the store search under pearl crowns and tiaras 19 of them.....LINK

Actually, I already have a rhinestone and pearl tiara (of course)! It's too big. So I'm going to make a little crown entirely of pearls. I was thinking a round one about three inches across at the bottom that flares out at the top.

On the other hand, you made me look at all the tiaras and I almost bought one for me!
