Hello everyone and welcome once again!

We are in February—a month associated with St. Valentine’s Day and thus with romance. And the heart motif in jewellery is rather popular in general at this current time.

So this month we are going to an exhibition of contemporary jewellery that uses this particular motif, hosted by Victoriana Magazine!


As extra inspiration for your poems, here is a classic quotation from Dr. Watson’s story “The Adventure of the Devil’s Foot”:


“Upon my word, Watson!” said Holmes at last with an unsteady voice, “I owe you both my thanks and an apology. It was an unjustifiable experiment even for one's self, and doubly so for a friend. I am really very sorry.”

“You know,” I answered with some emotion, for I have never seen so much of Holmes's heart before, “that it is my greatest joy and privilege to help you.”
