Time to give thanks
In lieu of Sandy's destruction, we will be donating 15% of all sales made this month to http://www.redcross.org/sandy. Our thoughts go out to those in need.
My parents are still without power in their home. Fortunately they do have places to go to with power and internet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I really miss autumn, when all the leaves are ablaze, the air is crisp and clear, the sound for crackling leaves under the feet. Enjoy for us here living 3 degrees south of the equator.

Who is Diaz?
In the designer's own words: 'ONE MIND, SPLIT PERSONALITY, MULTIPLE APTITUDES. OUT TO CURE THE WORLD FROM VISUAL AESTHETIC DISORDER. ONE CREATIVE POST A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY.

Diaz is multi-faceted to say the least, fashion stylist & designer, graphic wizard, and wunderkind.

Nagicia Sirsak Collection
Sirsak – Nature’s Offering of Help and Hope
The leaf of the Graviola tree set in resin for you to wear -
A potent symbol of Mother Nature’s ability to provide for your every need.
The fruit, leaves, roots, bark and stems of this plant (also known as sour-sop), found in the ancient rain-forests of Indonesia and the Amazon have been used for centuries by native medicine men to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis.
Initial clinical tests showed extracts from this plant to contain powerful agents that :
- Act as broad spectrum anti-microbials against bacterial and fungal infections, intestinal parasites and worms
Further tests conducted in 1976 by The National Cancer Institute of The United Sates gave stunning results:
The Graviola's "leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells."
10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than commonly used chemotherapy drugs, this tree’s natural medicine selectively destroys cancer cells only, with no harmful side-effects for healthy cells.
Seven years and millions of dollars later, all efforts to synthetically reproduce Graviola’s most powerful anti-cancer failed and funding for further research was withdrawn. Under federal law natural remedies cannot be patented, so the miraculous, life-saving gifts of this tree have remained hidden.
The medicine and message of the sirsak (as it is known in Indonesia, home of Nagicia) are brought to light beautifully in the Kupu-Kupu collection.

Kupu Kupu ~ Butterfly
Like delicate flowers in flight, Nagicia’s Kupu Kupu Collection skillfully captures the beauty of the butterfly in brass, silver and gemstones.
Beginning it’s life as an earth-bound caterpillar, this creature works diligently during it’s brief life to build a protective covering , a place to retreat and undergo remarkable change. The time spent inside the chrysalis is when the beauty of both colour and form are forged. The subsequent struggle to emerge from this self-imposed captivity builds the tremendous strength required for flight. This unique life cycle has come to stand as a symbol for personal transformation and emotional maturity, and the freedom they bring.
Kupu- kupu means butterfly in Indonesian, and Nagicia has forged this collection in shimmering brass and silver, adorning cut out wing designs with sparkling cubic zirconia and gemstones.
