Beads & Sorrow

My cousin Susan, a talented artist in my hometown of Cleveland, has just launched a new site, STONZ, offering her extremely cool and beautiful jewelry based on beach stones. Much to my delight, she sometimes reads this LJ, and was so taken with my introduction of the word "fantod" that she has created a Fantod Necklace! No home should be without one. Give all your friends the Fantods!
Great is the power of art. In the past 18 months Susan has lost her mother, her father's twin sister "Sis" (shortly after Sis's husband) - and now, o terrible!, Sis's daughter's 22-year-old son, Matt Wasser,, a college senior, was killed by a drunk driver in Waltham, Mass., last weekend. The funeral is today. I wish I could be there. She says I probably met Matt when he was about 11, on a big family vacation. I don't remember.
God bless her and her work. I hope you enjoy it, and get the chance to tell her so, even if the Fantods are not for you.
