*Caveat on using the term “recycled gold”:

While I am very careful to source my precious metals only from SCS® certified suppliers (SCS® stands for Supply Chain Sustainability; they are the global leader in the field of sustainability standards and third-party certification). Most of my precious metals suppliers are also members of the Responsible Jewellery Council. However, I want to point out that ‘recycling gold' is not what is commonly understood by the term.

True recycling avoids things ending up in landfills. Gold, of course, wouldn’t.

Instead, gold is simply melted, refined and repurposed.

Although SCS® certified refineries must maintain auditable records of their suppliers, there are loopholes globally which make it very easy for gold from unregulated and/or illegal sources to enter their supply chain.

This makes even 'certified recycled' gold untraceable.

Come see me at Avondale Sky Winery this Saturday!

Those of you who have been following me for a while will know that I am seriously into food. I love food: I love to cook it, to eat it, and to share it with others. In fact, I just had the pleasure of having some very wonderful guests at my table, including two delightful masters of Japanese tea ceremony, and the illustrious blacksmith John Little and his wonderful wife. I find great joy in sharing food and conversation.
So it is no surprise that I will participate in yet another food-related art market: the Avondale Garlic Festival!Avondale_GarlicFest_2014
This event will showcase chefs demonstrating their techniques with garlic, great food will be available to fill your bellies all day, live music will delight, and sixty artisans of great calibre will be showcasing their work – which, admittedly, will not necessarily be garlic-related. But worth coming out for, regardless!
The event is being held at the Avondale Sky Winery, directions ici. Walk the vinyard, talk to farmers about growing garlic, and to chefs about using it. Learn how to braid garlic, watch the garlic cook-off, and of course taste some wine. The weather forecast looks good: make this a day in the country for the whole family!  10am-5pm this Saturday, September 2oth.  See you there!
