JEWELRY TRUNK SHOW By Zuzana Willis
Saturday, November 27, 12 - 6pm
Originally from Prague, Czech Republic, in Zuzana's own words, "I create jewels that I would want to wear. I am drawn to pieces that are unique and yet wearable; simple, yet something you do not see every day; jewelry that gets noticed but is not ostentatious. A stone might catch your eye, or perhaps a twist of metal - some detail that entices you to look closer, to explore. I like a little bit of mystery, some unpredictability, a moment of surprise." www.zuzkjewelry.com 
Zuzana will show her complete collection. Join us!

2011 Karhu Calendar
The classic long skinny calendars from Kyoto with proverbs in Japanese and in English with charming Clifton Karhu illustrations. 33.5" x 3.5", each one comes beautifully gift wrapped in Kobo style.
Herman Yu 2011 Calendar In her work, Herman tries to achieve that perfect balance of form, function, color, and pattern to create modern, simple, refined and useful products. She finds inspiration in the surprising details of the everyday - the abundance of color at the farmer's market, a shadow pattern and always the effects of light on everything.
12 original illustrations are printed on heavy textured uncoated stock and presented in a lovely die-cut box. The 8-1/2" high calendar has a built in hanger making it easy to keep wherever is most handy.
