Wild Things: Get ready for a buggy ride
As any gardener will tell you, along with flowers come -- well, insects and spiders. Many of which are beneficials. Which means they're good to have around. And when they're made of gold and sparkling stones, they definitely belong in the latter category. Don't worry, they won't bite anything but your pocketbook.

Spring Fever: Floral Accessories Everywhere
Somewhat more reliably than tulips in Houston gardens, spring motifs are blooming on ears, necks, arms and even feet.
But don’t get caught wearing your grandma’s flowers when accessorizing. Mother Nature has a mod side, too. Look for cool accessories that will freshen up outfits with a feverishly hip sensibility. [...]
Don’t be afraid to think big.
Foraging at Past Era Antiques, we stumbled upon a fruitwood camellia pin that actually could have been your grandmother’s; but the scale, at least 3 inches in diameter, made it anything but dowdy.

Past Era
This extraordinary estate jewelry resource is beloved for its assortment of pieces that span 300 years of design. We fixated on an Etruscan turquoise wirework pendant and a Georgian lover's-eye miniature (a locket-size charm that paramours would have painted for each other). 2311 Westheimer Rd. (inside the Antique Pavilion) Houston 713-524-7110

Retro Accent
It's time to rifle through your grandma's jewelry box. "The pin is in," says Sheila Block, president of the Accessories Council in New York, a nonprofit trade association representing America's accessories industry.
Brooches are back, and it's the creative way they are being worn that makes them fresh this time around, Block says.
Grandmother would have worn her brooch on a suit lapel. But today that is just one option.
One of the newest takes is to group the pretty pins, wearing them in multiples at the waist, as a closure for their cardigans or on a fabric handbag.
The surging interest in brooches has led to a new appreciation for antique jewelry at Past Era Antique Jewelry, in Houston's Antique Pavilion. Anything that has an organic feel is popular. Nature motifs like flowers, insects, dragonflies, lizards and turtles are sought-after antique pieces, as well as brooches with colored stones.
Flower pins and brooches can be worn on every type of outift -- from jeans to career suits, from dresses to winter coats.
