Bedtime Story Goods: African Drums at Dawn
Annie was about to die in a hurricane, but finally went to sleep pot of sheer exhaustion from fright. When she awoke, she heard a languid beat from the land: they'd been blown far off course to the shores of West Africa.

The Opal Mutiny
Amos and Louise invested all their saving for retirement in a cask of opals. The men believed them to be cursed and mutinied until the Chases were forced to jettison them. They swirled into the deep somewhere between Australia and New Bedford, and our loss was the ocean's gain. They returned home broke: in some ways, it served them right! But it hasn't stopped us from 'replacing' them in our own way with these necklaces of Art Glass and semi-precious stones.
