……………………..The garden is in full bloom……..The Holly Hocks are reaching for the sky, and the Phlox have taken more than their share of space. The grasses in the white urns by the sea have filled out nicely, and the Russian sage by the lion is at least 3 feet tall. The grasses behind him have a way to go, but they were planted later in the season……..It’s bursting with color…..just the way we like it……………All in all it’s a robust summer………..The girls love it two…..They love digging in my garden!…………….much Love……….. Louis

…………………..I am happy to report that the Maasai bracelet and earrings are back in inventory. I know so many of you missed out, so we placed a “HOT” reordered to get them back as soon as possible……………….enjoy………………………much Love…………………………..Louis

……………..Chantal sent me these pictures this morning………She’s in POSITANO with her family! I have such great memories of being there with Jac and great friends…..Before Chantal left we planned a complete Linea wardrobe. Above she’s wearing the black boho skirt as a dress, the Roma necklace and clip earring and the gold wire cuff. She looks stunning, and happy…….and oh so ITALIAN………..Bacci Chantal

………………………In the spring the driveway is lined with beautiful Daffodils…………They give way to beautiful roses covering the fences…………once they are gone for the season it’s time for the Black Eye Susan’s to line the drive way…..each stage is beautiful. It’s all very bitter sweet . It all reminds me how Jac loved all of these flowers, and waited with great anticipation for each flower to bloom. Each represent a different stage in the spring/summer season. The Black Eye Susan’s last into the fall, but do mean the summer is coming to an end……..Where does the time go?

I want to thank each and everyone of you for your Birthday wishes. It means a lot to me to know I have friends out in the world who care. I realize our friendship is not a conventional one, but I like to think we do have ties that go well beyond clothing and jewelry. It’s a big world, but a small one too……………………………………thank you, with Love, Louis
