<div style="text-align: center;">
<o:p></o:p><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Indeed, indeed, like a fabulous library book, a new blog post has been long overdue! Yes, I must confess, I have been known on occasion to pay weighty library fines. Sometimes I get so enraptured with worn pages, eloquent words and musty scents of well-loved volumes that </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I completely lose track of calendar days and … - well, you get the picture… but I digress.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have been a very, very busy jewel fairy since we last spoke, and many, many delights are about to come your way! </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the next few days there will be regular posts with fresh treasures </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">and recaps of my adventures over the last month. So let’s begin!</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On the last day of the month of May I embarked on a challenging adventure – to surprise my best friend on her birthday. “Challenging?”- You say. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">“What could possibly be so challenging about that?”</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well... </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Tawny, the friend in question, has a 6<sup>th</sup> sense. She is impossible to surprise! T can smell them from a billion miles away. Maybe I exaggerate a bit, not a billion, more like a million miles away. Many clever spirits have tried to pull one over on her and failed. I was determined to succeed! </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In any surprise, the most important tactic is the misinformation campaign. The subject of the intended surprise must be mentally prepared for the complete opposite of what will happen.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Tawny and I used to live less than 2 miles away and now 1200 miles connect us more than ever. May 31<sup>st</sup> is T’s birthday and she was convinced that it was going to be just another ordinary day. For weeks prior to her B-day, every time T moped about the upcoming day, I kept stressing how unbelievably busy and crazy my life was (which it actually was) and that under no circumstances was it even remotely possible to get away, even for a day. My accomplice, who conveniently happened to be T’s mom, also planted her own misinformation campaign. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Between the two of us T had no clue of what was going to happen.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, in the wee hours of the morning on the last day of the month of May, I flew to the gloriously rainy city of Seattle, Washington. (Did I mention that I love, love, love rain? Well, I do!) With the help of T’s mom I appeared outside Tawny’s bedroom door and surprised her to tears (GOOD TEARS)! Tawny has now become a convert and has learned to love surprises! </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We spent eight whole days together bopping down the streets of Seattle. Popping into coffee shops. Getting deliriously lost in bookstores. Riding ferries. Running barefoot through ice-cold waterfalls. Capturing wild flowers. Playing with stunning cabs and gemstones. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Eating lots of cake and chocolate :)</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">This Mother's Day my mama was showered with lots and lots of treats!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">One, in particular, I wanted to share with you. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">My mom loves gardens! Is obsessed with them! Hers is filled with roses (of bazillion colors and varieties), lilies, irises, agapanthus, hydrangeas. She nurtures veggie patches with tomato vines, cucumber blossoms, bell papers, onions, garlic, string beans ... and of course delights in tending to the many aromatic herbs like basil and rosemary. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">She also has a love affair with garden gates! I do too!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">(shhh, do not tell her) </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">She has begun collecting photographs of garden gates and I was teasing her, while keeping a secret </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">Julie, the amazing artist, is not only a talented photographer with a keen eye for color and composition, but a lovely being as well.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">How do we discover the story of the ancients? From what survives most often, of the civilizations passed – pottery, jewelry, stones, tools – the ornamental facets of everyday life. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">Silver is the metal that speaks to me. It is alive. It breathes. The story and history are written in its lines and folds. It shows the presence of the artist’s hand. It activates the artist’s imagination.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">I have always been passionate about history and art, and in college chose to study Art History. I was absolutely fascinated by the different cultures and peoples of ancient worlds and thus the Treasures of the Ancients collection was born. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">In this collection hours were spent weathering and aging the metal to recreate the feel and look of something that has survived the battle with the elements over hundreds of years. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">More to follow …</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">You might be wondering, "What is the meaning behind the title of her blog?". I thought I should explain. I love, love color!!! Deep, bold, saturated pigments delight my soul. The more color, the better. My philosophy is simple – there is not a color I cannot bring to life! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">As my best friend often says, “On paper if you write it out line by line it makes no sense: </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">½ strand of neon blue apatite</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">½ strand acidic salmon coral</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">3 feet of warm gold chain</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">30 sterling silver disco balls </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">1 beautiful pearlescent cream stick pearl </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">and a pinch of headpins</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">Give that recipe to another designer and they wouldn't know what to do with it. But you take all of these mismatched ragamuffin ingredients and a four-star soufflé comes out.! You create like you believe that rules were meant to be broken!”</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A few days ago after a hailstorm, yes you heard me correctly - a hailstorm in sunny California, a friend and I went to the beach - my favorite place of refuge and respite. As we strolled through the sandy path, breaking the waves with our feet and breathing in the salty air, I began to notice the oddest things. The storm showered this little oasis with mounds of driftwood and the most wondrous discoveries were coming to light: a rather abstract and pompous looking sculpture, which my friend desperately wanted to drag back to her garden. It was a no go from the start, since the thing weighed a ton – literally!</span></span></div>

I happen to have been born in the year of the rabbit, I drive a VW Rabbit, I drive like a jackrabbit (as many of my friends like to point out) and ever since I was little, my mom has lovingly called me her little rabbit. Undoubtedly the ocean was speaking to me; and I answered.</span></span></div>
