Today's trivia - Benjamin Disraeli was a novelist, and the Prime Minister of Britain - a busy man, and a very thoughtful husband. He was concerned about his wife feeling cold when dressing for dinner, especially in the bitter English winters, so he designed a little heater on which he would warm her pearls for her before she put them on. Gorgeous, eh?

I wonder if anyone would build me a little heater upon which I could place my precious "Kleins" jewellery. I simply cannot tolerate the feel of chilled plastics upon my neck any longer!! I doth protest!! :-)
( Not that I'm jealous or anything) hee hee.
