Muz 'n' Shell

Muzzy and I started traveling in 1990. Our first trip was to Thailand. Muzzy was in the Merchant Marines in another incarnation and had traveled all over the world. I had done a lot of internal traveling, but waited a lifetime to be able to really travel. After that first trip I was definitely hooked. We went to Bali in '93. In '96 we returned to Thailand to visit our daughter Sarah at her Peace Corps site in Petchabun province. In '99 we went to Nepal and Thailand, in '03 to Laos and Thailand, and in '05/'06 back to Thailand, Laos and Burma. In '07 we returned to Nepal, Laos and Thailand with our dear traveling companion Kyp. Muzzy and I have been incredibly fortunate in making the trip up the Nam Tha river twice to Luang Namtha. Laos is very special to us. I just hope we get to keep traveling. The photos posted on this site are all by Mr. Muz unless otherwise stated, and he is a grand and wonderful photographer!

Almost as good as traveling!

I just began cataloging and pricing a 40 year collection of amazing artifacts from Panama, Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala, the Phillipines, India, Bali, Laos, Thailand and more. The collection has some pieces that belong in a museum and belongs to a man with an incredibly discerning eye, and a love for all things unique and exotic. I will begin integrating it into Bijoux as soon as I can. I even bought a new cabinet to house the baskets and pottery. This is great stuff that ranges from the mundane to the sublime. If you are in town drop by as I unfold all of these wonderful items into the shop. I even have the stories and dates to go with them! I feel incredibly privledged to be part of helping him divest a lifetime of travels and tales. In the midst of life's trials and tribulations, I am blessed with much.
