When I was shopping for dear life at the Maine Antiques Fair last month, I met the artists behind Portland-based We Are X. I didnt get to chat much, because I was clutching a big bag of 1920s Deco di...
As I develop new jewelry for Fall, Im inspired by objects relating to turn-of-the-century American history and culture. (Just finished a great summer read: Dreamland: A Novel by Kevin Baker). This fi...
