The shop also will present jewelry from Diane Katzman, who uses sterling, semi-precious stones, gold vermeil and antique beads in her creations.
Costume cam: To get folks into the Halloween spirit, the president of the Web site BuyCostumes.com is wearing silly costumes every day during October. Jalem Getz donned a bunny suit the first day, but the remaining costume choices are up to online voters. CostumeCam photos will be updated daily at the Web site. Check out www.buycostumes.com.
