I know that the rain has nothing to do with jewelry and jewelry sales but I'm lovin' it.  I've enjoyed sitting out on the patio listening to the rain and soaking in the cool mist it brings. If I close my eyes and use my imagination I put myself on the lanai in Kauai.  Hard to believe I'm actually sitting on a patio in the desert! Imagination and fantasy is a marvelous thing. That's one of the things I love about jewelry.  If I'm feeling a bit down, I slap on my SOHO bangles and my diamond hoops and instantly feel glamorous.  When I'm in a sentimental mood, I slip on the very first necklace my husband made for me and I'm instantly transported to the day he sketched it out on a cocktail napkin on one of our first dates.  I can open my jewelry box and see the pearl earrings in the tray and remember my wedding day.  What memories do you have? Do you have a special piece of jewelry that puts you back in that special time and place in your life? Isn't it amazing what a little fantasy can do for a gal?
