Great oppourtunities

Quite recently Villain Accessories had been chosen to present actress Ginnifer Goodwin with one of my pieces. I took this opportunity to create something special for her as she is of Jewish faith. "Hanukkiah" is the grand result. White Sapphires set in 14karat gold, with 14karat gold ear wires and sterling silver body.

Being Gracious

Growing up in the 80's I watched some dated shows like the Brady Bunch, and the Monkeys. Even though these shows were fun, my true heart lied with the black and whites; I couldn't get enough of I Dream of Genie, Donna Reed and even the Patty Duke show. These shows left a mark on me with a sense of tradition I never would have guessed at the time.

Even though these show were about lead female characters getting themselves in to all sorts of trouble they always managed to clean up their messes and have dinner on the table for their counter parts and children. They were women who may have had their social follies for trying too hard or being too smart (for their time) but knew their roll inside and out as gracious hostess. Dinner was on the table piping hot severed on matching plates. The only processed food on the table were the mashed potatoes she slaved over the hot stove mashing . Even if the children drank milk right next to that glass was a second glass full of water.

Where are days of gracious hostesses who always have enough food for the troupe, who make everything from scratch, and whose idea of a great party is serving your guest with a smile and refill. I simply refuse to believe I am the last of dying breed of women too smart for their own good, who couldn't possible fathom the complexities making a box cake when making one from scratch is so incredibly simple.
I get teased quite often from my friends and spouse about my know how in the kitchen, however weather I am hosting a dinner party, or are holding the chair for hospitality at an event my invitations are rarely missed.

Yogini jewelry for the yoga enthusiast

Marking today the launching day of Yogini jewelry, We start off with the Elegant Buddha.

I have always described the feeling I have after a yoga class as taking an old used dry erase board, and using a magical cleaning solution and voila!! the board is crystal clean and brand new again.

Only the used dry erase board is my brain and the writing on the board are my emotions cluttered with work,financial and life issues.

I am by no means a yogini, But I advocate heavily on the side of balance and being refreshed.

The Elegant Buddha is achieved a state of perfect spiritual enlightenment, space we should all work diligently to acquaint ourselves with.

The sterling silver chain is 16" with a 2" extender.

The Vermiel Elegant Buddha is sitting on a blossoming lotus imparting his blessings. measures Size (mm): 20 x 9 x 2.5 . The hammered and oxidized sterling silver disc is slightly domed to hold the elegant Buddha is 2cm or 3/4" of an inch in width. Which in everyday terms is just smaller than a quarter.
