Do you remember the movie High Fidelity? There is a scene that I think of whenever I wear these necklaces. In the movie, John Cusack plays a record store owner who declares “I will now sell 5 copies of the album by The Beta Band”.  He puts on the record and sits back and watches his customers react to the music.  When I put on one of these lovely necklaces, I say to myself, “I will now compel 3 strangers to ask me about this necklace.”  Usually I have more than three people approach me and more often than not, they can’t help themselves touching the necklace too.  I haven’t been touched by strangers this much since I was pregnant!  I don’t blame them, really.  The necklaces are irresistable.  They are made by Servane Gaxötte, who has the sweetest shop in Paris.  (You can also buy them in New York at Kisan.)  I have been collecting my “poupée” necklaces for a number of years now and my love for them is just as intense as the first time I saw them.  Happiness on a chain!

Have a great week. See you next Sunday.
