Cherry Blossom Necklace ~Japan Earthquake Fundraiser

Want this??

I've started a small fundraising campaign for the people of Japan.  This is my humble way of trying to help with the tragedy that has struck Japan.  Tsunami, earthquake and now radiation.....

I chose this flower necklace because it reminds me of the beautiful cherry blossoms of Japan.  Large white petal pearls are used for the petals and 3 small sterling silver balls are in the center of each flower. These 2 large flowers are attached to 3 strands of fresh water pearl and it has a sterling silver clasp and chain.  The necklace is approximately 15" long. The flowers are placed off center to give an added visual effect.  (value is $375)

Make a donation of 10.00 or more and your name will be entered into the drawing on April 30, 2011.   There will be one winner.

Please pass this on to your friends and family ~ post it on your facebook, twitter and email!

Thanks for your help!

The Correspondence Continues

Ann,

We’ve had some good times. Great times. Haven’t we? No, I don’t think I made you look fat. And, no, when the sun shone through it was a hint not a slide show. And, yes, grass is impossible to get out but he was worth it wasn’t he? And yes, those pearls are still great with everything.

I’ve grown up. I’m different now. You’re different now. We’re past all that shiny, summer only, tan required. I’ve embraced my off-ness, my slight imperfections, my texture and tone. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good wedding. But a softy draped linen sweater. A perfectly tailored cotton shirt. A pearl so smooth and yielding that it fuses shades of ash, wheat, smoke, and lavender. This is who I am. This is me.

I’m a risk worth taking. Don’t save me. Enjoy. Who knows, tomorrow there might be chocolate, or wine, or (hopefully) more grass.

Yours,

White

One of a Kind Show NY

What a great week in NYC! This was my first big show and what fun it was~ although when I arrived I had my doubts.

This is what the booth looked like when I arrived. UGGH!

Hanging the signs, photos and displays by myself proved to be challenging..... Have you ever tried to hang a 6x8 sign solo? And have it straight? After several hours, mission was accomplished!

One of the highlights of creating the booth was going to the Flower District. Loved these unusual flowers ~ not sure of the name but they were from Australia.
