 Chimi

  

 Chimi is a corgi mix, about a year old and extremely cheerful and friendly.  Bronwyn Llewellyn fell in love with her at an animal shelter.  Bronwyn gave Chimi her name- which is a common nickname given to little girls in Bhutan, meaning "Small and Cute" and that fits her to a "T"!

 

 Chezzie

 

 

 Though she was born a country dog, Chimi took to a jet-setting lifestyle like a duck to water.  First Durham, then DC, then in 2009 Chimi and Bronwyn headed off to Tanzania, in East Africa!   Chimi got to go on lots of adventures in Tanzania, she hiked around the Udzungwa mountains and up into the Ulugurus, paddled around in the Indian ocean at South Beach, and even saw Elephants in Mikumi National Park.  Currenty, Bronwyn is back in Washington DC, so Chimi now lives the life of one of the upscale Capitol Hill pets.  DC's only a temporary stop though, Bronwyn is waiting on her posting as a foreign service officer somewhere else around the world, and you can be sure Chimi will be headed off too!

 
This summer you may find Chimi back in Beaufort, where she always insists on visiting her friends at Handscapes Gallery

Three New Jewelry Artists 

  
We are very pleased to introduce three new jewelry artists, with three very different styles of jewelry. 
  
  
 Extasia bee pendant
Designer Stefanie Freydont of Extasia jewelry uses old world techniques to create timeless jewelry. 
  
Midori
Hawaiian designer Traci Morinaga of Midori jewelry combines semi-precious stones, pearls, sterling silver, and 22k vermeil to produce her collection of exceptional jewelry   
  
Glass!Wear
Glass!Wear jewelry, by Laura Bosse and Cat Zurchin, is all about color, and the luminous qualities of dichroic fused glass.
  

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.  It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being.  We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

In Memory..... Laura Drewyer

 

Our dear friend Laura Drewyer died tragically on May 8 while visiting in Scotland.  She was a wonderful artist, but more than that, she was a wonderful person.  We will miss her beautiful smile and her wisdom.  Laura, we are all better people for having known you.
