We don’t wear wrist accessories because we write in longhand and bracelets get in the way, but we really like this turquoise-y cuff Lee got us in Davao. Thanks, Lee!
Something to take your mind off the temperature: Argue with The men of Game of Thrones, ranked according to hotness. Booooooooo. Tyrion should be number one.
We covet these.
Ricky spotted these.
They’re fabulous, but like most of our glasses they have large lenses and in this weather they get misty. At home we wear a pair of lightweight wire-rimmed spectacles, and every time we pass a reflective surface we go, “Who is that!”
Rene found these at the BenCab Museum in Baguio: earrings handmade by Tosha Albor.
Our friend Steph the artist and certified cat lady makes T-shirts for people who love cats and people who are really cats.
The Meow shirts come in five designs (so far) based on Steph’s feline housemates, and are available in small, medium and large.
Each shirt costs Php500. For every Meow shirt sold, Steph will donate Php50 to CARA (Compassion and Responsibility to Animals), the excellent nonprofit organization which promotes animal welfare, including the spaying/neutering of pets and stray cats and dogs to improve their quality of life.
To order Meow shirts (We’ve ordered one of each!) email Steph Palallos at info@magicpoppet.com or magicpoppet@me.com. When you get your shirts, have yourself photographed in them and send us the photos.
Visit stephpallalos.com to see Steph’s sculptures, drawings, and graphic designs. The online shop opens soon.
Made by a little old lady selling needlepoint items outside an archaeological site in Turkey. They’re like embroidery that escaped the cloth.
Bought these at the shop in front of the Sultanhani caravanserai along with a cookbook for Ige and an ornate fake dagger with faker gems on the pommel.
At a mall in Nevsehir all the costume jewelry was on sale. This was the only pair I liked that wouldn’t rip off my earlobes.

At EchoStore in Serendra we found these book locket necklaces by Junk Studio. They feature cover art from well-loved books (the publishers won’t mind, we hope).
Each locket comes with a 24-inch chain. (The chain barely fits around our giant head. We’re talking Prometheus size—not the Engineer, the statue). Retail price: Php285 each.
We got a pair of book lockets and converted them into earrings. The metal is light enough so our earlobes don’t come off.
