↬ 'Cha Cha' Mother-of-Pearl Single Drop Earrings

Maria Black's Cha Cha Earrings have accompanied Catherine on several important engagements from foreign tours to audiences with queens since she first wore them on the Early Years Working Trip to Denmark in February 2022.

The earrings features a mother-of-pearl bead hanging from a sterling silver huggie hoop that��s plated in 22-karat gold.

The earrings have been publically worn by Catherine on a few occasions including for an audience with Queen Margrethe & Crown Princess Mary, the Platinum Jubilee Tour of Jamaica, The Big Jubilee Lunch, the Grenfell Tower Memorial Service and the Pre-Coronation visit to Soho.

My Cranky Old Woman opinion is that audiobooks were less annoying when the reader just read them vs trying to voice act them. For the second time this year I had to give up on a book because the reader's tone of voice was interfering with the content (The first time it was a historical drama narrated like a children's book, but now I found something much worse: I do not want to listen to an attempted rape scene in a chortling mustache-twirling comic villain voice! Holy shit!)

ETA: Just recalled another part of the problem: the narrator decided that, to convey Action in action scenes, she'd start reading faster. Nothing I love more when trying to picture a chaotic scene than having to interpret everything at double pace!

no but what if rtd ended it ambiguously???? no evil smiles and monster teeth to clue you in, just one donna entering the tardis and one donna dying, but you’re not sure which was which and it’s never explained either. you think it’s donna, you think the doctor was right but you can’t be 100% sure. and neither can he

↬ Dina Earrings with Ocean Blue Stones

The Dina Earrings with Ocean Blue stones are reportedly a Christmas gift from the Prince of Wales to Catherine.

These gold-plated earrings from Sézane have been crafted from recycled brass earrings. They feature tassel drops with natural semi-precious stones in shades of ocean blue.

With a height of 5 cm and a weight of 10 grams, the earrings make a statement while remaining lightweight and comfortable to wear.

The Dina earrings are are nickel-free, plastic-free, and come delivered in recycled packaging.

The boho inspired earrings were debuted by Catherine for the Christmas Service at Sandringham in 2022 and once again worn by her for a visit to Birmingham in April 2023 along with Prince William.

Unnamed JKEU Pride and Prejudice AU

The poll was overwhelmingly positive so I'm posting the entire WIP. Basically the issues I ran into is that I couldn't figure out villains that made sense? Idk here it is.

“Who the fuck is that?” Katrina asked, looking across the room at a woman dressed in a white flowy shirt and leather pants. 

“What?” Josh asked loudly over the sound of what seemed to be a remixed Greensleeves.

“Who is she?” Katrina asked again, this time putting her hands on his shoulders to face him in the correct direction. 

She watched as his eyes scanned the crowd, finally resting on the woman before raising his eyebrows at her incredulously. 

“Kat, that’s Janice Wood.” 

“Why are you acting like I’m supposed to know who that is?” Katrina hissed at her friend who was looking at her with an unimpressed look.

“Because!” Josh said, gesturing around them “This was your thing first.”

Looking around at all the people dressed in vaguely period accurate dress, Katrina had to admit her best friend had a point. If it hadn’t been for an incident of theft at Josh’s first Ren Faire (and her fifth) a couple years ago the two wouldn’t be friends, much less at this party. 

Luckily D’Artanio and Lorenzo had relaxed considerably since then (if the remix of Greensleeves was anything to go by) and had invited her and Josh to their end-of-the-season bash. 

It was clear they’d forgiven the two for stealing from them, or at very least respected them enough to the period accurate soirée. Which brought Katrina to the woman who’d caught her eye. 

“Josh, who's Janice Wood?” 

“She’s like a world famous woodworker. Super big on the Faire circuit. Super big just in general honestly,” Josh explained to her, pulling up an Instagram page with 8 million followers.

“Why is she here?” Katrina asked. She liked D’Artanio and Lorenzo just fine, but she didn’t think they had that much pull.

“Your guess is as good as mine, dearest Katrina. It’s surprising enough that we’re here, much less a minor celebrity,” Josh grinned at her, waving a hand clearly dismissing the topic of conversation “Can I interest you in some shots?”

—-

“All I’m saying!” Josh yelled somewhat drunkenly to a group of people who’d gathered, gesturing wildly with his arms “is that we as society should bring back jesters.” 

“You just want to be paid to be a goofball,” Katrina piped in from her position next to him. Somehow they’d ended up holding court at this party.

“Of course, I do, dear Katrina,” Josh continued, swooning dramatically “I missed my true calling.”

As he wheeled his arms around, Kat watched as he lost his balance, and stumbled into a shorter woman who’d been standing nearby squinting at her phone, and promptly fell on his face. 

“Sorry, sorry, sorry,” Josh raised his head and smiled sheepishly, “Are you okay?”

“I feel like I should be asking you that,” the shorter woman answered slowly, crouching down to help Josh to his feet “I’m Rachel.” 

“I’m Josh,” he replied, and Kat caught a trace of pink on his cheeks. Not that she could blame him, Rachel was very pretty in her pirate queen get up “I promise I’m not usually this clumsy.” 

“He’s not actually lying,” Katrina added “His center of gravity is just currently deeply affected. I’m Katrina.”

“It’s nice to meet you,” Rachel said as she let go of Josh’s forearms, now that he was finally on his feet “I just moved to Mountport.”

“What brought you to our beautiful mountain seaside town?” Josh asked, before furrowing his brow “How do you know D’Artanio and Lorenzo?” 

Kat frowned for a moment about to tell Josh off for being rude, but Rachel seemed to appreciate Josh’s straightforwardness.. 

“The company I work for is expanding” Rachel answered “my friend got the invite and figured it would ���get me out from behind a screen’. Her words, not mine.”

Rachel rolled her eyes, before shaking her head “Are you two locals?” 

“Born and raised,” the two said together, exchanging grins. They’d never been able to shake the habit of speaking in unison. 

“You might know my friend then, she was raised here too-“

“Or it could be the wood working world tour,” Rachel was interrupted as the woman Katrina had noticed earlier burst into their circle. 

Her flowy white top had been unbuttoned during the party, staying closed only by virtue of the tight leather pants it was tucked into.  Her short brown hair was cut into a bob, and inexplicably tucked into a backwards baseball cap. She smirked cockily at the three of them, as she took a swig of the beer she was drinking. 

“Janice...” Rachel said admonishingly. 

“I am just being realistic, Rach,” Janice shrugged, putting an arm around the shorter woman “I’m famous.” 

Katrina hated her on principle. 

“But in case you didn’t know,” Janice continued “Janice Wood, I’m good at wood.” 

“I’ve actually never heard of you,” Katrina answered, stepping forward slightly. Katrina liked to think of herself as a fairly easy going person, but Janice’s attitude had set her blood boiling. 

“We can change that,” Janice replied, stepping forward as she was clearly giving Katrina a once over and lingering at the front of her corset “It’s been a while since I’ve been back to Mountport.” 

“Too small for your ego?” Katrina shot back as she felt her rapidly rising temper fueled by the alcohol in her system. She could feel her face heat and knew that red was beginning to spread to cheeks “How do you even get famous woodworking?”

“Maybe I can teach you, babe,” Janice seemed unperturbed by Katrina’s insult as she leaned forward, and then had the audacity to wink at her.

Katrina saw red. 

Luckily Josh also knew the signs of a furious Katrina and quickly stepped up to link her arm in his and pull her away from Janice. 

“Kat!” He cried “Don’t we have somewhere to be? Chris and Barry wanted to chat.” 

“Janice, didn’t you promise Klaus and Raus you’d stop over tonight?” Rachel also seemed to be pulling her friend away. 

“I’ll guess I’ll see you another time,” Janice said, eyes still locked on Katrina as Rachel pulled her away.

“Not if I can help it,” Katrina replied, before letting Josh usher her away. 

“Well that was…” Josh trailed off as soon as they were well away from the other two. 

“Infuriating? Awful? One of the worst moments of a lived life?” 

“I was going to say heated,” Josh replied “But sure we can go with that.”

“Where does she fucking get off? Just because she’s a famous woodworker doesn’t mean she’s god’s gift to women! And then she hit on me? Who does she think I am some fucking woodworking groupie?”

“I can assure you, Katrina. That no one thinks that about you.” 

“Apparently Janice fucking Wood does!” Katrina crossed her arms in frustration, before shaking her head, and trying to calm down by changing the topic “Rachel was so nice, I wonder why she’s friends with an egotistical, arrogant-“ 

Katrina would’ve continued her rant, when she was interrupted by Rachel herself tapping on Josh's shoulder. 

“Hi, sorry about that, Janice is…” she trailed off for a moment before, shaking her head and continuing “It doesn’t matter, I just wanted to give you my number? If that’s okay?” 

“Of course! Yeah that’s totally fine! Or better than fine, brilliant? No, let’s go with awesome-“ he would’ve continued rambling if not for Katrina plucking his phone from his pocket, unlocking and handing it to Rachel. 

“It was awesome to meet you two,” Rachel replied nervously, handing Josh’s phone back to him. Katrina appreciated being included despite the fact that Rachel had very clearly not asked for her number, “We’ll talk!” 

And then she was gone, walking back in the direction she’d come. Katrina let Josh have a solid 15 seconds of looking after her before poking him in the side. 

“She’s still friends with the devil incarnate.” 

Josh shrugged and smiled sheepishly at her “Everyone has flaws?” 

Katrina snorted. She couldn’t really blame him. Rachel had been pretty and nice and clearly interested.

“You’re a moron. I hope you know that.” 

“And yet you love me.” 

Katrina sighed. She really did love him.

“C’mon idiot of mine, let’s go find some trouble.”
