As with so many people today, Edwidge Danticat is waiting to hear news about her family members living in Haiti. She knows some of them are alive but has yet to hear from others. My heart goes out to her, and to everyone in her situation.

Remember the sixties? Peace, love and scarab beetle pendants. Maybe not, but if you missed out then, you have a second chance now. And if you do remember, this wonderful sterling silver scarab beetle pendant is a lovely bit of nostalgia.
