GEORGINA ETTRIDGE

The Coast of Cornwall, which runs along England’s coastline, is like something out of a dream. Populated with coves, cliffs, and beaches such terrain begs for long walks, hiking, and fishing. England is also home to featured jewelry designer Georgina Ettridge.

KOJI MIYAZAKI

Squarely positioned on a rock in Osaka, Japan is the 16th century fortress Osaka Castle; a famous attraction for many tourists.

The structure is well known for its unique configuration characterized by an interior eight-story floor plan with only five stories visible from the exterior. Japan is also the birthplace of featured jewelry designer Koji Miyazaki.

MERCEDES SALAZAR

We are awed by the lush, green surroundings of the José Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden in Bogotá, Colombia.

Named for the famed Spanish scientist and botanist, the garden houses over 18,000 acres of indigenous flora such as the country's largest aquatic Amazonian flower.

 Colombia is also the home of featured jewelry designer Mercedes Salazar.

SIMPLY SUBLIME

Today we're in Vancouver, Canada taking in the natural splendor of Queen Elizabeth Park. I am partial to all things floral, so I'd take a peek inside Bloedel Floral Conservatory with all of its birds, and exotic plants, including bromeliads.

I'd particularly like to have a meet-and-greet with the conservatory's lively Cockatoo named Charlie. Canada is also home to featured jewelry designer Constantina James.

LICIA MATTIOLI

We're in Torino, Italy today standing in Valentino Park just outside Castello del Valentino (Valentino Castle), which is loaded with history.

Centuries ago, monarchs used the castle for feasts and special events; presently, the castle is the center for Torino's Faculty of Architecture. Italy is also the home of featured jewelry designer Licia Mattioli.
