………………Since Lily has passed away Sammy has been my shadow….my constant companion…or should I say we have been each other’s companion. She has taken over my reclining chair in my office where I watch TV so I gently have to move her to the couch which she loves just as well. She really is a funny dog….my little baby was just 11 years old, but she still acts like a puppy………She’s a real daddy’s girl.
……………………………………”SOME DAYS I AMAZE MYSELF”
………………….These pictures were taken when I visited Elena, Angelo and Jac in Athens on my return from Mykonos…..I don’t remember ever getting this tan. The beaches of Mykonos were the best…The sun in Greece and the sea turned me into a deep rich brown……Jac and Elena were so WHITE next to me!….We had all just gotten up and we were sitting on the second floor terrace that ran the length of the house. We just finished having breakfast. All of the trees in the photo are brown, because a month before there was a huge fire that miraculously stopped at their property line. The house, unlike many others, wasn’t touched. Elena was about 5 months pregnant. Yanni was to arrive about 4 months later…..The black and white dog’s name was “Doggie”….how can you forget that…..Elena had a day planned of site seeing and shopping…..It was already hot, but we would take our time. Angelo, who is an architect, would be working on a new hospital wing if I remember correctly, and couldn’t be with us, but he joined us later for dinner at an out door restaurant…..I remember having an allergy attack, and couldn’t stop sneezing…..Jac wasn’t happy about my constant sneezing, but Elena and Angelo were more sympathetic……I drank wine until the sneezes stopped!…I had a wonderful visit, and after four days I was on my way back to work in NYC.
……………….The MOON and STAR EARRING was created at the same time as the MOON and STAR PENDANT and the Star Ring and Star Bangle….They were all meant to be worn together all at once, or one combination or another………The style number of the earring, made in Italy, is J406708, and is avail now on the Linea site on QVC. It is avail. in Sterling Silver and Sterling with 18 Karat Gold plate….CUBIC ZARCONIAN stones decorate the earrings….The top post has a single stone. From that hangs a CRESCENT MOON totally paved in stones. A STAR dangles from the moon with a single stone at its’ center…..It may look large in the photos, but it is just 1 and 1/4 inch long so it is a delicate light weight earring that anyone can wear……..”I love you over the moon and beyond the stars”
…………………………….LOVE LOVE ALWAYS LOVE…..is what is inscribed in side the NEW ring………..in FRENCH!…….J406417 is the style number. This is one of my newest STERLING SILVER and STERLING SILVER with 18 KARAT GOLD PLATE pieces……The BOMBE top and down the sides are totally paved in CUBIC ZARCONIA……It is meticulously made in ITALY like all of my other Sterling pieces, and it is a SPECTACULAR RING. Right now it’s avail in sizes 5 through 11, but a warning…….it already is selling incredibly well and it’s only been avail for two days!……..Ladies this is a BEAUTY…..Of course LOUIS DELLOLIO is inscribed inside……..One of Jac and my favorite movies is “THE WOMEN” directed by George Cukor in 1939. It has a stellar cast of all WOMEN…….One of our favorite characters is the “COUNTESS” played by Mary Boland……She has a famous line…..After quite a few cocktails, the thrice divorced Countess exclaims…..”L’Amour L’Amour Toujoures L’Amour”…..Every time we looked at the movie, and she delivers that line…..we would crack up……I know you will love this ring!!!!On another note…..I have been informed that Linea fashion jewelry has been found in one of the warehouses…..so periodically you will see older pieces suddenly appear. I don’t know how all of these pieces could have been misplaced, and for so long, but they have. There are very few pieces of each so if you do want to add these to your collection….DO NOT HESITATE! I noticed the TASSEL GRANDE reappeared in BOTH COLORS. This is a great piece…..a one of a kind special piece….so consider these “new” arrivals as a second chance!
