Wish Necklace

The ‘Wish Necklace’ by RubyRobinBoutique features a single dandelion flower seed encapsulated in a tiny glass bulb. On the inspiration behind the piece, the designer says:
 “Folklore says that blowing the feathery little seeds off a dandelion will carry your thoughts and dreams to your loved one or will grant you a wish!”
This makes it the ideal gift for anyone who can’t celebrate Christmas at home.

They are amongst the most magnificent of beasts; majestic, imposing and somewhat terrifying.

Photo Ark for Animals

Ten years ago today, National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore’s wife, Kathy, was diagnosed with breast cancer. That diagnosis, and Sartore’s subsequent need to stay home and care for his wife and children in their Lincoln, Nebraska home, spawned an unplanned—and unprecedented—photographic project called Photo Ark to help save the world’s species.
Through his Photo Ark project, Sartore has made photographic portraits of 5,400 animals at zoos and aquariums worldwide—and he won’t stop, he says, until he documents all 12,000 captive species.
