Is it true that more people get engaged on Valentine’s Day than any other day of the year? We love the idea of celebrating love and putting a ring on it…our way.
Inspired by the beauty of the tiny boxes clad in the finest of velvet from The Mrs. Boxes and the bounty of food around us, we decided to change out the wedding ring bling for a dinner bell ding ding.

A Man, His Hands, And a Bag of Oysters

I have this habit of looking at people’s hands like I’m looking for clues. I find they reveal so much more than most people are willing to offer. They tell a story.

As Vincent Hooper hauls 50-pound burlap sacks of oysters, I can’t help but notice that his hands are big—too big for his average size, as if they grew in spite of him. His fingers look swollen and ashy around the joints and cuticles. The skin across the backs of his hands stretch tight, like leather gloves that are too small and worn to offer any real protection.
