……………….I love a clean, fresh BLUE & WHITE STRIPE SHIRT,  especially in an unexpected fabric and a wonderful shape. A379908, is the style number of the one above……..You would think just from looking at the photo that it might be your typical cotton or cotton blend….slightly stiff men’s shirting, but it is NOT!…The fabric is 100% RAYON……It is LIGHT AS AIR and very gossamer…flowy and cool. It literally weights nothing. It’s like the lightest hankie……This will be a joy to wear in the hottest most humid days….If you wish to wear it open with a tank that will look wonderful too….. It’s a classic “end on end” weave meaning in one direction there is a white thread and in the other direction a blue thread creating this chambray effect….If you look at the photo at the lower right you will see a blow up detail of the stripe….It is a FANCY STITCH WEAVE, which adds to the beauty and special appeal of the fabric. It feels like spun silk….the hand is that marvelous……It has a classic shirt collar and stand. It also has long sleeves with a double pleat into a one button shirt cuff…..That’s wear the “classic” ends. It has elongated handkerchief sides with slits…The front measurement for the xxs is 29 inches….It has BAND POCKETS to give you that relaxed wonderful attitude of a lazy afternoon….It buttons with faux pearl buttons…….I did press it when it came out of the bag to get rid of the fold marks and I gave the side seam a good “open press” meaning I laid it flat on the board and pressed. This took all of 4 minutes because the wrinkles came right out with a little steam and iron……..Wear it as a shirt or a shirt jacket…..Above, I have my Super Ponte WHITE CAPRI PANT, and the WHITE NUGGET necklace, earring and cuff [not shown]. At the upper right there is a double photo of the second color…..ESPRESSO and WHITE worn over the ESPRESSO/WHITE DOUBLE PANT…..in a word the combination is SUPERB……………………You need to have your photo taken in a white wicker chair!…………………..enjoy………………much Love………………….Louis

………………The second color being offered in this shirt is ESPRESSO and WHITE………Of course white bottoms and espresso bottoms will look perfect……..but……..if you really want to IMPRESS and make a STATEMENT……the Espresso and White double layer Gauze Crepe pant is just fabulous! I purposely did the shirt in this Espresso color to go with the pant and it is outstanding. Roll the sleeves for a very nonchalant attitude…open the collar and put on my new shell necklace called….”TONGA”………The body of the shirt is very similar to A378730, the Crepe Gauze shirt. This shirt is a little longer in the front and back covering everything…..It also dips a little longer at the sides,. Even at this longer length it is still wearable for all……Why does a TARTUFO or a vanilla ice cream cone with frozen chocolate on top come to mind when I look at this color combination!…………I must be hungry for ice cream!!!!!………………enjoy………………….much Love…………….Louis

…………………….I think we are all intrigued by the mystical, and what the universe has to predict for each one of us….I have never been one to hold any strong belief in Horoscopes, though it is always fun to read what your horoscope says. With each daily news paper, and monthly magazine that had a horoscope page, Jac would gleefully read what was in store for us. You couldn’t help but wonder if you should take any of it to heart. Jac believed more than I did, and she went to a few “readers”. She insisted I go to one of them, this very nice but strange man. He was eerily accurate with Jac, and likewise with me. At the time a lot of what he said did not make sense, but so much of what he did say came to pass. He predicted I would work for QVC [not mentioned by name], but when it happened Jac and I knew it was what he predicted. He predicted health problems that too came to pass. Jac’s main interest was to find out everything she could about her mother, but that wasn’t always what he saw or told her about. She wrote everything down and would come home and read it all back to me. Then he disappeared….never to be seen or heard of again?….We often wondered what happened to this strange spirit….. Years and years ago, when I was in my 20’s, there was this huge machine in Grand Central Station that told you your future. You had to give the machine your exact time and place of birth. I don’t remember exactly the name of this machine, but I think it may have been Astro Flash…. maybe one of you knows for sure? My best friend and I went there and entered our info for a small fee….why not. Weeks later the results came to my apt. It was a very in dept detailed scroll, more information than I thought I would receive. Over the years I have realized that the predictions it made have come true. It predicted Jac and I would be together, and I wouldn’t even meet her until years later! Of course it didn’t mention her name, but there was no doubt in my mind that Jac was the one who was described in these pages…..Somewhere , in my many moves, this scroll was lost…..I would love to be able to reread it now……So, I guess I am a skeptical believer……Many of you request if I can make certain things and when I can, and the buyer likes it, I will gladly try to get it done….Kate, a while back asked for a…..ZODIAC NECKLACE….I was able to do it, and it turned out fabulously!………….Each medallion is double sided….on one side the symbol, as shown above, and on the other side the pictorial of each symbol………..I learned something creating this necklace. I always thought, like a birth stone for each month, there would be a specific stone for each sign of the Zodiac……not so…….Since one’s sign can span between two months there is no one stone. For instance I’m a Leo which starts on July 23rd and ends August 23rd. My birth stone is Ruby…When I did research on a stone color what I found out is it was a range of colors for each sign……so I just picked the color I liked best. What was also interesting was that the colors didn’t overlap from sign to sign so choosing a single color for each medallion wasn’t difficult……The necklace consists of all TWELVE ZODIAC SIGNS in Russian Gold. The discs have the look of being created by putting a stamp in hot liquid gold….similar to the way hot wax stamps are made. The shape of each disc is slightly different…..This is a wonderful ONE OF A KIND PIECE that was designed by me so there will be no others anywhere. It is also a great conversation piece, and I’m sure many will want to take a close look and find their sign……This is a true collectors piece……………………enjoy……………..much Love…………….Louis

………………….On the reverse side of each medallion is the pictorial symbol for each sign with the name……Sorry, the Sagittarius photo is a little blurry, but it’s a beautiful depiction of the ARCHER with his  bow and arrow. Each depiction is beautifully executed……………….I’m sure you will enjoy looking at each symbol just because they are wonderfully done……..You really have two necklace, because you can wear it on either side!………………………………enjoy……………………..much Love………………………..Louis

……………………This Memorial Day, like all others, we will honor all of the men and women who have fought and given their lives to keep this nation free since this great country was created……This Memorial Day is also a special one….It is the first Memorial day, hopefully the last, that we are living through this pandemic……However, not all of us have been so lucky. So, today I will also be remembering those who have fought on the front lines….the Warriors of the pandemic, and those who have lost the battle fighting for all of us to survive…………………………God Bless them all
