May 25, 2022Happy Tiara Day!
May 24, 2022
May 24 is Tiara Day – so, dust yours off and wear it proudly!
The one pictured above is Belle Epoque Russian design that was sold by Christie’s in 2015 for 677,000 Swiss Francs.
Christie’s also has an interesting history of tiaras and guidelines for collecting and wearing them at their website.
I have always been fond of the British Royal collection of tiaras, including the one worn by Megan Markle at her wedding. Interestingly, I see that you can buy a knock-off of that tiara on Etsy for $140.00.

“750 miles – No Motors – No Support – No Handicaps”
This describes the race from Port Townsend, Washington to Ketchikan, Alaska. After a Covid hiatus, the race was back in 2022. Read about the adventure in Hakai Magazine.
Missed it

As usual, the skies over Metropark Centralis were overcast on May 15, the night of the lunar eclipse. It was probably great.
