While I've never had the pleasure of meeting Patti in person, I can tell from corresponding with her that she is as effortlessly elegant, warm and generous as she appears on her blog. And we've had the honor of helping her equally lovely husband pick out some of her birthday presents over the course of the past 3 or 4 years, which I must say, feels pretty neat-o on our end of things.
Mr. Net Dead Yet, aka Sandy G, has a great eye for birthday treats, and this year was no exception- he picked out a great piece, a handmade chunky goldtoned metal cuff, upcycled from vintage costume jewelry. On Patti's wrist, it looks like a million bucks!
