Anyhow, I have since paid off my debt to society (to the tune of around $800), and am now just trying to clear my name. The DMV has been pawning me off on every other agency in town until today, when I made it to the New York City Finance Offices on John Street. And guess what? It was a pretty awesome experience. My number was called one second after I sat down, the woman was super nice, and the whole thing took less than seven minutes. Way to go finance dept.!
Here are some pieces from Etsy, the overwhelming, maze-like website which reminds me a lot of the DMV and also happens the best place to buy from truly independent artists...
Lavender Stacking Dot Rings by TreAnelli, $65 (for all three)
14K Rutilated Quartz Earrings by MaryaJewelry, $340
Unpreppy Plaid Ring with Garnet by Stellasilver, $60
Oxidized Sterling and Aquamarine Necklace by KrisCross Designs, $95
Hidden Valentine Heart Ring (Rutilated Quartz) by Nina Dinoff, $120(SO cute!)
EDITED TO ADD:
Keen eyed Molly of Ashcan Rantings was so OTM about my cat. Molly said, "haha your cat = posh spice in the marc jacobs ads. actually your cat > lady becks in the MJ ads" and Blue Floppy Hat of Nonsense on Stilettos concurred. Ladies, on behalf of Fatso Fatterson (er, the cat), thank you!

oooh you mentioned my blog!
thank you :P
The stack rings are gorgeous.
House of Elliot - You MUST, absolutely MUST see. I didn't even know it existed until about a month ago, when my mom insisted I watch it with her on a weekend visit home, and by the end I was absolutely hooked. DVD box sets are available in the Boston libraries so I've no doubt you'd be able to track them down in your neck of the woods! It's ever so delicious and the outfits - oh god, the outfits. I can't even talk about them!
I feel bad that I've been complaining about Blogger suspending me. It's much worse what the DMV was trying to do to you! I'm glad you have sorted it out. Now no double-parking!!!
The aquamarine necklace is lovely, and sorry to hear about the car troubles and fines.
the police can be vicious when it comes to automobiles. it is sometimes more of a "power trip" thing i think. but that wont change.
i love those rings!
peace
That's I drive $6 cars - so if I get a ticket, I just leave it there and get another.
Woo, John Street's right near me! :] And that sucks about your license.
your cat is too cute, love the pictures
parking inspectors suck:)
you picked beautiful pieces as normal, i can't even pick a favorite because I love them all!
Those are such lovely pieces, I'm coveting the plaid ring most of all.. and thanks for the mention! Fatty Fatterson is one cute kitty..
thanks for including that ring! FYI it is Nina Dinoff ;)
The plaid ring is amazing. And the secret heart ring, so sweet. I like surprises. Your cat is one chic kitty.
That sucks about the city! I love the plaid ring and the hidden heart ring, and Molly is hilarious!
interesting, cool jewelry!
haha i love the cat pictures - very vicky :P
Wow is that really your cats name?? So adorable!
Oh and I don't think I've ever had an experience at the DMV that's taken 7 minutes!!
the third ring is so awesome
I love those stack rings....absolutely beautiful!!
My next post will be on you and Wendy and how you guys have ruined my life !I am addicted to Henry the 8ths wives and books on them and Barbara Pym.I have been ploughing thro them all week!!
Seriously though I have to thank you for introducing me to them!!!
PS:My father-in-law just throws the tickets out!so he should be a few thous in the hole if they catch up with him!!He may need an amnesty program!
Okay, what's going on here? *tapping foot*
YOUR CATS CUTER! MUCH CUTER!!
