And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
"Winter is dead."

Baroni
Turquoise, Chrysoprase and Vermeil necklace by Baroni








The team of Sarah Baroni and Cathy Witkos continue to delight us with their new designs.  This beautiful Chrysoprase and gold vermeil pendant on a double strand of turquoise has an old world elegance.


Sri Sisters
Seaglass and silver necklace by Sri Sisters







 



Sea glass has become a rarity.  Quinn and Carolyn Sale continue to find seaglass in Guana Cay.  They combine it with sterling silver and beautiful lampworked and fused glass beads.  Each lovely piece is completely unique.

Sierra
Opal, Amethyst, and silver necklace by Sierra








Cheryl Sirkus of Sierra Designs creates very classically wearable jewelry.  This opal and amethyst pendant is suspended on a delicate silver and amethyst chain.


Zina Kao

We love the simplicity of Zina Kao's designs.  This lovely sterling silver heart locket hangs on a 24" blackened silver chain.


Susan Rifkin
Multi stone necklace by Susan Rifkin









Susan Rifkin has combined Turquoise, apatite, peridot, and phrenite in this fresh Spring necklace on a suede cord.  Beautiful!



Patricia Locke
Sparkle necklace by Patricia Locke











The "Sparkle" necklace in Tango by Patricia Locke is well named.  Gorgeous Swarovski crystals in jewel tones catch the light.

Tea Time
MoonSpoons
Tea Strainer by MoonSpoons


We have always enjoyed MoonSpoon's whimsical chopsticks and toaster tongs.  We love the new tea strainers and honey dippers!  What a lovely gift they make for a tea lover.  The mug is by Nancy Salamon of Clay Born Pottery, and is sold separately.

Furry Friends
Jan and Huckins


Meet Charleston Huckins (Huck for short).  He is shown here at the ripe age of 8 weeks with his human, Jan Hesselman.  Huck is a Cavachon (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Bichon Frise).  He likes napping in the rocker and his favorite snack is chilled sugar snap peas!

What a cutie!  We are so glad he came to visit! (And yes, he is a real dog.)
We hope you have enjoyed our newsletter and we would love for you to come see us!

All the Best,
Alison, Jill, Cecelia, and Mary
