We visited the lovely U and G, and their ba-aad black cat, to view some of the jewelry that will soon be available in Magpie. Lapis lazuli, picture jasper, freshwater pearls, jade, carnelian, pyrite, diamond, gold, silver; earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings. I can't tell the full story (nor the full credentials of U and G) until the reveal is imminent, which should be soon. Meanwhile, Magpie is already full of lapidary and lustrous delights, so come by or "Come Buy" as the goblins sing in Christina Rossetti's poem, "Goblin Market." We want to see you walk in and hear you say:
This room is full of jewels as a mine,--
Dear valuable creatures, how ye shine!
Sometime to-day I must contrive a minute,
If Mercury propitiously incline,
To examine his scutoire, and see what's in it,
For of superfluous diamonds I as well may thin it.
Yes, if you come in quoting this joking piece of Keats, and get all six lines right, free 2" ceramic magnet?
