Many of you have noticed that the SILVER ANNIVERSARY HOOP EARRING is back under a new style number. It is the exact same earring as before made by the same Italian manufacturer, and will still coordinate with all of your “ALL YOU HAVE TO BE IS WONDERFUL” group!…..All of the silver jewelry is posted and on SALE for the SILVER EVENT!!!!!…….Now the story….As you all know the Linea line is winding down though there are still fabulous items to be had. After my trip to Africa all of the Masaai and Samburu group is looking better than ever! ……The silver/gold jewelry manufacturer was very disappointed in the decision to stop making the jewelry since we were starting to grow a nice new Sterling silver and Sterling silver with gold plate business. Many of the pieces sold out and were reordered. The owner of the company approached me and asked if I would be interested in going forward with this line of jewelry…….I discussed it with Cathy, my partner in crime so to speak, and she thought it would be a great idea…….I’M BACK IN THE JEWELRY BUSINESS!!!!!!!You all know I LOVE DESIGNING, and this way I can still do what I love. I can also offer you the finest jewelry out of Italy. This has always been my passion and my passion will never die…. It will only be as successful as you all make it, and I’ll always love designing for you!…..I LOVE the new designs we are developing……The Anniversary Hoop is the first item to come through. For me they are the best hoop around. They have presence without being overdone. They are MODERN , but still can be worn with anything as an everyday earring…..and……..they will make an INCREDIBLE GIFT for someone very special in your life!….I hope you are all happy with this new turn of events…..I wasn’t looking to do anything….it just came to me which is the way my entire career has been………………enjoy………much Love…….Louis

………….It really was the perfect day to skip the bush and take a day off just to relax. The weather couldn’t have been nicer. The shaded lounges were very welcome, because the sun was very strong. The breeze off the river kept you cool from the blazing sun. The water was cold but refreshing once you goy used to it. I asked Dolly if she was the life guard too. She replied with a big smile and her giggle, ‘Oh no I can’t swim!”. Then she pointed to a brass plaque embedded into the deck at the top of the pool. It read “SWIM AT YOUR ON RISK”. She was off the hook!

…………..The pool was located just after the last room down the path. It was between the DumaTao camp and Small Duma camp and was shared by both camps. It was situated right on the Linyanti River…WHAT A BREATHING VIEW!!!!! Chris and I decided to take an afternoon off from going into the bush and took advantage of the pool, gym and spa. I ordered lunch, a Cesar salad with chicken and COLD AFRICAN WHITE WINE! which Dolly brought me with a smile and a giggle. The pool water took some getting used to, it was cold, but once I got used to it….it felt wonderful under the heat of the African sun. After lunch and a swim Temmy gave me a fantastic massage followed by a sea salt scrub. She was great. I played my music and I was lost in the moment. After the scrub Temmy escorted outside to another small building which was the bathroom and shower. It was fully equipped with shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and moisturizer and huge soft bath towels…..wonderful. Chris was up next. One wall of the massage room was all glass and Chris had a audience of monkeys! He agreed with me that Temmy was fabulous, and Chris should know because he owned a spa for a few years, but that’s another story. I truly wish we had a few more days at DumaTao to just lay out at the pool!
