			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;re hearing from many Ped fans that spring is teasing them this year! Just when they think it&#8217;s all green grass and tulips, along comes another snowstorm to bury the tender buds in the garden (and their sunny moods).</p>
<p>Ped understands, which is why we&#8217;ve put all our Karin Wagner jewelry on sale—so you can have flowers in your life that will never wilt! Hand felted in Switzerland, Karin&#8217;s wool pins, rings, and vines bloom with unique style that is always fresh.</p>
<p>Even if your jonquils are suffering from frostbite, you can still get a dose of yellow-flower joy with <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=1020&amp;colorID=1866">Karin Wagner&#8217;s Daffodil Ring</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=1020&amp;colorID=1866"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/1866/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Like a sunny day for your hand, this ring was pretty at <span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #888888;"><del datetime="2011-03-31T00:09:39+00:00">$98</del></span></span>, but it&#8217;s even lovelier at <span style="color: #008000;">$79.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=1021&amp;colorID=1867">Karin&#8217;s Lilia Ring</a> also sings, &#8220;Spring!&#8221; in a big, beautiful way!<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=1021&amp;colorID=1867"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/1867/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>We love the sheer drama of it! Plus, the diamond cutouts on the petals are so unusual (not to mention a true handmade labor of love). Terrific at <span style="color: #666699;"><del datetime="2011-03-31T00:09:39+00:00">$178</del></span>, it&#8217;s an even bigger wow at <span style="color: #008000;">$139</span>!</p>
<p>If you like rings but prefer to make a quieter statement, <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=347&amp;colorID=594">Karin&#8217;s Anemone Ring</a> talks a little more softly.<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=347&amp;colorID=594"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/594/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Tempting at <span style="color: #666699;"><del datetime="2011-03-31T00:09:39+00:00">$48</del></span>, it&#8217;s even more inviting at <span style="color: #339966;">$38</span>.</p>
<p>Perhaps you prefer the versatility of pins—after all, the placement is up to you! We love <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=1023&amp;colorID=1870">Karin Wagner&#8217;s Rose Brooch</a> for just that reason!<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=1023&amp;colorID=1870"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/1870/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Pin it anywhere and instantly become a femme fatale! Stunning at <span style="color: #666699;"><del datetime="2011-03-31T00:09:39+00:00">$124</del></span>, it&#8217;s truly stellar at <span style="color: #008000;">$98</span>.</p>
<p>The ways to wear Karin Wagner&#8217;s works of art are endless. Why not use a pin as a barrette, as we&#8217;ve done with the <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=1025&amp;colorID=1872#">Clochette Brooch</a>?<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=1025&amp;colorID=1872#"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/1872/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>We guarantee you&#8217;ll have the prettiest hair wherever you go! Wonderful at <span style="color: #666699;"><del datetime="2011-03-31T00:09:39+00:00">$104</del></span>, this little bouquet is even better at <span style="color: #339966;">$79</span>.</p>
<p>Speaking of versatile, Karin Wagner&#8217;s vine necklaces offer lots of options—drape one around your neck, entwine it in your tresses, or perhaps wind it around the strap of your handbag!<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=611&amp;colorID=1093"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/1093/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>What could be fresher any day of the year than this <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=611&amp;colorID=1093">Daisy Necklace</a>? Worth smiling over at <span style="color: #666699;"><del datetime="2011-03-31T00:09:39+00:00">$164</del></span>, it&#8217;s even more cheerful at <span style="color: #339966;">$129</span>.</p>
<p>One of our all-time favorite pieces here at Ped HQ is <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=376&amp;colorID=633">Karin Wagner&#8217;s Magnolia Vine</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=376&amp;colorID=633"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/633/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>What a show stopper! This necklace is so pretty you&#8217;ll want to keep it out as art even when you&#8217;re not wearing it. Smashing at <span style="color: #666699;"><del datetime="2011-03-31T00:09:39+00:00">$182</del></span>, it&#8217;s irresistible at <span style="color: #008000;">$139</span>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s such a heady time of year with all the wonderful things in bloom! The lilacs, irises, and peonies may have come and gone (or if you&#8217;re a little farther north, maybe they&#8217;re still around), but gorgeous day lilies and sweet honeysuckle are hot on their heels, with black-eyed susans and other posies still to come. At Ped, we adore flowers&#8212;and we like to wear them whenever we can!</p>
<p>The undisputed queen of lovely blossoms that never fade is Swiss fiber artist Karin Wagner. We recently received a new shipment of her hand-felted wonders.</p>
<p>We are particularly crazy about her floral rings, like this attention-grabbing <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=1021&amp;colorID=1867">Lilia</a> beauty:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=1021&amp;colorID=1867"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/1867/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The way Karin has cut tiny diamonds out of the crimson petals is so unusual! Wear this ring and watch as conversations spring up all around you!</p>
<p>Many of Ms. Wagner&#8217;s blooms are versatile. Who says you have to wear a brooch pinned to your clothing? This <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=1025&amp;colorID=1872">Clochette cluster</a>, for example, makes a fabulous barrette:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=1025&amp;colorID=1872"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/1872/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>And, attention, summer brides, a wonderful alternative to wearing fresh flowers in your hair is to entwine Karin Wagner&#8217;s <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=611&amp;colorID=1093#">Daisy necklace</a> in your up &#8216;do on the big day:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=611&amp;colorID=1093#"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/1093/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll have a sweet memento that will never wilt (hopefully, like your love). Plus, you can wear this vine of buds, leaves, and blossoms in a myriad of ways.</p>
<p>Another knockout <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/sophie_digard/sophie_digard.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=26&amp;productID=496&amp;colorID=864">flower necklace</a> comes from Sophie Digard:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/sophie_digard/sophie_digard.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=26&amp;productID=496&amp;colorID=864"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/864/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>We love how each blossom has a different color scheme on each side&#8212;you can spin them and move them along the cord to create a new variation every time you wear it.</p>
<p>Sophie also works floral magic in her scarves and bags. For instance, how chic is this <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/sophie_digard/sophie_digard.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=26&amp;productID=459&amp;colorID=815">Geranium Handbag</a>?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/sophie_digard/sophie_digard.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=26&amp;productID=459&amp;colorID=815"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/815/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Drop-dead gorgeous with a nostalgic air of romance, this bag&#8217;s crocheted blossoms must be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Each one is unique and contributes to the garden-like impact of this sweet bag.</p>
<p>At Ped, we even like to wear flowers on our feet!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/1816/main.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The Accessoire Island wedge, with its pretty rosette on the toe, is one of our favorite styles this season (and Ped&#8217;s Laura reports it&#8217;s a treat to wear&#8212;cushy and comfortable)!</p>
<p>There are even more petaled pretties to make you smile blooming at the Ped site. After all, there is nothing like the power of a simple flower to remind us that, despite wretched oil spills and ugly intolerance, the world offers so much beauty.</p>
