Simply Jewelry

The Sara Collar fits around the base of your neck. It’s a 15-inch gold chain. Four simple gold tabs dangle just above the collarbone. Designer Christine Zezza would like you to know: The $72 necklace will not turn your neck green.

That’s because the Sara Collar, named after Zezza’s older sister, is made from 14K gold melted with brass. It’s not made with brass polished to look like gold, and it’s not made with gold-plated brass, either, both of which tarnish, oxidize and turn that greenish hue. The outer layer is thick.

The Controversial Art of Graffiti Artist Eros

A St. Croix Valley artist who goes simply by the name Eros fits special caps over the nozzles of spray cans to control the width and the speed of the paint as it hisses free of the aerosol tin, onto his surfaces of choice: delivery trucks, trailers, exterior and interior walls throughout the Twin Cities, bridges and freight trains—never churches, never schools and never your neighbor’s garage.

Dalles House and its offshoot Café and Coffeehouse bring the St. Croix Falls Community Together

Few things are as timeless as a Wisconsin supper club, though perhaps red velvet is one of them. The two come together at St. Croix Falls’ Dalles House Supper Club Restaurant and Lounge; co-owner Sonya Fry took over the restaurant on the Minnesota–Wisconsin border in fall 2005. Fry, a former employee who grew up in the restaurant business, gave the landmark a serious once over, but also made sure she didn’t change the overall atmosphere.

Stillwater on Ice

Of course lights twinkle inside the glacial archways and wintry towers, tunnels and foundations feature two ice slides—it’s an ice castle, after all, built using icicles instead of blocks to affect a towering, Gothic presence, brought to the St. Croix Valley for the first time this year by Ice Castles LLC. But how do the organizers perfect this magic? Your burning (er, shall we say, freezing) questions answered here.

Where was the first ice castle built? Read more about Stillwater on Ice
