………………..I had company yesterday….Rowena from Lai Apparel and her boyfriend Chris..It was Rowena’s birthday…. It was too hot in the house to serve a meal so we went to a nice cool restaurant to eat!…..”RORY’S”, one of the oldest restaurants in Darien…………. I thought I’d serve a sweet treat with ICE TEA……so…..I made a batch of PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES using CHUNKY peanut butter……and a bag of semi sweet CHOCOLATE CHIPS…..They came out great if I say so myself!…..I love the  combination of peanut butter, peanuts and chocolate chips…….yummy….yummy….yummy!…..Afterwards I served an Ice Cream Oreo Cookie Birthday cake from a store called “Sweet Ashley’s”. The owner and I decided I’d been going there for 30 years!…..He said how lovely Jac was, and how she was one of the few customers he remembered and liked a lot……It was very sweet of him to remember.

……………….As part of the July 2013 group there were two unique stand alone pieces…..The COBWEB KNIT SWEATER and the LACE TUNIC…………..The Cobweb sweater can in COCOA and SLATE BLUE….It had long sleeves and a crotched scallop edge neckline. The sleeves were long….It was the perfect light weight transition sweater…..Just enough to take the early Fall chill off….The LACE TUNIC came in BOYSENBERRY, COCOA BROWN and TEAL…….It matched the faux silk trouser pant….The outfit was perfect for early fall special occasions when your not sure what to wear.

…………………..For July 2013 there were two reorders…….The stretch “Kate” shirt came in…….BOYSENBERRY……TEAL….and BLACK. The colors in this cotton looked deep and rich……The BOHO skirt was reordered for the umpteenth time! It now was avail in…..CHILI PEPPER…..TEAL…..Olive…..TAUPE…..and BLACK…..The colors just kept coming and selling out….I’m sure they would still sell out today…..I have never seen a better rendition of this skirt….though many have tried to copy it…..unsuccessfully.

………………..The GLASS SEED BEAD NECKLACE consisted of countless rows of beads all connected into bars at the back neck. The colors of the beads represented the colors of the collection and then some…………just for accent. It also came in a neutral combination.

………………………The second color combination for the glass seed bead necklaces was all about neutral and natural colors….like the tortoise glass seed beads. I think in the photos I have two on at a time………I love abundance.
