I should be working...

Well....you know what happens when you start rummaging through collections...

Do you see the GORGEOUS sterling Whiting & Davis purse?

My BFF Lisa gifted it to me!!!

I have always wanted one and have searched for years looking for one in good condition and that would fit my budget.

This one is in mint condition !

I love it sooooooooo much!!! Thank you Lisa!

As you know, I LOVE the Art Deco Era...

I'm thinking of carefully handwiring one of my Deco Clips to the front of it.

Great to accessorize and wear casually with jeans...lovelier to accessorize for a dressed up glam event!

My neice Candace and her long time love Jared will be planning their wedding in the near future... last month he proposed marriage in Capri, Italy! So romantic!

and

Yes, I have been asked to do the jewelry for her wedding!

Stay tuned... as i'll definitely be sharing~

I hope you enjoyed viewing some of my Art Deco Clips and Brooches, as well as my beautiful purse!

Oops! It's after 3:00pm...I guess it's too late to get back to work!

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Patrick Anderson...

With this Kiss...

Mr. & Mrs. Patrick Anderson

Margaret, Patrick & Brian

The HAPPY Couple

Mother & Son

I would like to introduce my son Patrick and his wife Margaret! The happy couple were married Saturday, September 20th. The ceremony was so beautiful and the reception was festive! My youngest son Brian, who played the part of best man toasted his brother and new sister with love and with a bit of his quirky sense of humor. As their mother, my heart swelled with pride for both my sons! The day was joyful and bittersweet as my husband and their father, Harvey who has been deceased for almost 11 years was not able to be there in person. A special memorial candle had been lit in his honor. When the ceremony ended I gave my mother in law the long stem rose that had been placed next to me, which would have been where he sat. She in turn placed the rose next to the memorial candle that was burning below the statue of Mary. Harvey and I were married in the same church ... seeing my son up at the alter conveying his love to his bride brought back so many special memories of our day 28 years ago. I felt Harv's presence there with us and it's a memory I will hold dear, forever.
