In this economy, we all need a sweet song to lift our spirits. This creature is often the bearer of good news, and has a long mythological history. A bluebird symbolizes happiness, prosperity, and renewal.

Bluebirds are indigenous to North America, and their numbers have dwindled over the last hundreds of years, because more aggressive wrens, starlings, and sparrows pushed their blue-hued neighbors out of their homes.

The crystallized Spring Fling clutch by Judith Leiber has a detachable silver metal strap with a 19″ drop, and silver leather lining (there’s literally a silver lining in this design, which is no accident). Dimensions are 5″hx5″wx4″d. At $3,695, you’ll wear this for years while reflecting the optimism of eternal spring.

While on a semi-related tangent, I’d like to mention one of my favorite shops in London: The Shop at Bluebird. It’s a whimsical, high end experience in Chelsea. Sneakers are displayed in microwaves, while a gilded dining room set may display jewelry…and it’s all for sale - even the furniture. Very fun, I promise!
