Dear friends,
Happy Sunday! Thanks for joining us for our second edition of Sunday Brunch. This week we're looking at snake jewelry, which has been an obsession of mine ever since I was first introduced to the idea as a kid. I saw the Uraeus on a picture of an Ancient Egyptian headdress and from that day on I just couldn't get enough of them!
But first, a few of the things that have been helping keep our team sane this week.
This week's Stay at Home activities:
Now, grab a beverage and a pastry, put the news aside for a little while, and let's look at some sparkly things together.
This week, our favorite: Snakes!
