……………………..Coming mid to end April…..I will be offering a new jewelry item……..THE BEAD & SIGNATURE CHARM NECKLACE, J321802…..The color above is…..PERFECTLY PINK……It is comprised of FIVE CHARMS and a combination of FROSTED and CLEAR SMOOTH BEADS…..all spaced on a delicate looking chain…..It has a three inch extender and a Lobster Claw closing………..This is a necklace to be worn on its’ OWN by ITS’ SELF….or………layered with the necklaces that were designed to coordinate with it……..The DEW DROP PENDANT, J320890…..and the……SIGNATURE LOGO NECKLACE, A320468………..These three necklaces were designed to be worn together, if you wish, or to be worn as a pair as shown in the photos above. You will have to adjust the extenders to get them to lay exactly as you wish. I have the Logo and the new Bead and Charm necklaces at their full lengths and the Dew drop at its’ shortest length……….There are many Linea earring options to wear with these necklaces….starting with the Dew Drop earring that comes with the pendant. The Signature Logo earring, J320884…….the SWIRL, J284033……the Demi Hoop, J270391…..and the Bold Hoop, J288005….all work beautifully with each and all of the necklaces……I happen to love the PANTHER LINK WATCH, J273959, to complete the look……If you are into mixing there are many other choices you may want to try…….J270119 the Multi Cross Baroque necklace or the J288018, the Status Link necklace…………..Accessorizing should be PLAY TIME!……Every little girl and Big Girl loves to accessorize!!………………Just in case you were wondering….the jewel neck NAVY sweater shown above is just the TANK, A255153 worn backwards…..you may want to give it a try……Now, it may not work for all of you, but I think it will for the majority…………………enjoy………………….much Love……………………Louis

………………………….The second color being offered in the new BEAD & LOGO CHARM NECKLACE, J321802…..is SAGE……….Actually, it looks more like JADE to me, but we aren’t allowed to call it Jade unless it is actually made of Jade to avoid any confusion. Again, it coordinates with the SAGE DEW DROP PENDANT NECKLACE, J320890, and the SIGNATURE LOGO NECKLACE, 320468…..all in the same SAGE and GOLD. As of now the new necklace and the Dew Drop pendant are avail. only in GOLD, but if they prove to be successful perhaps I will be able to offer them in Silver in the future…….maybe in a beautiful sea glass blue………..Worn against a dark color, such as the navy above, they really make a strong statement……worn against a softer color or ivory and white…..the statement is more subtle………….I want to bring your attention to the photo at the upper right. The necklace is doubled and would be a great filler for your “button down” shirts……or simply worn this way for a change…………………………enjoy…………………much Love…………………………..Louis

…………………………….The AQUA LINEA LEISURE HOODIE, A262064, and the WHITE LINEA LEISURE CARDIGAN, A262035, have arrived and are now ready for ordering. The WHITE looks great with all of the WHITE WK sweaters, tanks, V-neck short sleeve etc etc…..and the AQUA is a wonderful match to the AQUA WK sweaters…………………….The LINEA LEISURE pant in Reg. and Petites has also been replenished in all colors. A new batch of white pants are ready for the summer!…………………..If you look real close at the picture of the white cardigan with the navy tank, you will see a new necklace that brings the DEW DROP and the SIGNATURE necklaces together to make a wonderful set of three……they should be posted sometime next month………………enjoy…………………….much Love………………………..Louis.

Here is the picture…..A typical Bundt pan may be too big. This is a pan with a design. The simpler the design the better…..easier to get out of the pan………Jac

Dear Patti…….here is Jac’s recipe….and for anyone else who may want to try it. It’s a great simple cake.

Tante Anna’s 6 Egg Cake
The recipe I am posting here has been in my family for generations. My Grandmother Marie, had a sister, Anna. Tante Anna taught my mother to be a superb baker. We always called this firm crumbed cake after our Tante Anna. My grandmother was a pioneer in her field of medicine, but not as interested in the kitchen….But!…. She said this cake was her recipe and was annoyed by any other reference!….to keep the peace, around my grandmother, we called this cake the “6 Egg Cake”. Otherwise, we always referred to it as “Tante Anna’s cake”. As you can see, I am still keeping the peace with the title. It is a good one for Easter morning!
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
2 sticks ( 1/2 LB) Unsalted Butter
6 Eggs separated
2 Cups All Purpose Flour…sifted with
2 Teasp. Baking Powder
Grated rind and Juice of 1 Lemon
Oven: 350…in the middle rack
Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl until fluffy.
Gradually add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating after each addition.
Sift flour and baking powder and gradually add to egg and butter mixture. Beat thoroughly. Add grated rind and juice and mix well.
With clean beaters, beat the egg whites until dry and stiff.
Fold egg whites into egg mixture and combine gently by hand, using a spoon.
Spoon into pretty cake molded pan (see below) that has been buttered or sprayed lightly with Pam.
Bake moderate oven 350* for 3/4 of an hour. Do not overbake…this cake will get dry.
When cool, invert pan….I always take a knife a loosen the edges and knock the pan before I invert.. Let cake cool more and sprinkle with sifted confectioners sugar.
