Hello -
Hope that everyone is having a wonderful day today. I just got home from the hospital. I had an operation on Wednesday. Needless to say, I am not feeling great and I cannot really do much else except type.
I really feel sorry for my puppy, Piper. She needs a much needed walk which I cannot give her. Maybe I can convince Tom into taking her on one tomorrow.
Well I wanted to share with you an unfortunate happening last night at the hospital. Since I did not know would be staying overnight, I did not bring anything except the clothes on my back. After I found out that I would be staying the night, I told Tom to being back my i-phone and a few magazines so that I would have something to do except watch TV.
He did and within 2 hours the phone disappeared! Before security and later the police were called I double and triple checked with myself and the nurse on call. Nothing!
I just find this horrific! I am in much discomfort, think I am in a safe environment and my personal property is taken! I am going to send a letter to the president of the hospital as I do not feel that I should have to pay for a replacement.
Oh well I do hope the rest of you had a wonderful holiday with family and friends. On a positive note, http://www.jewelrybyfrancine.com/ is offering black friday and cyber monday deals - 20% of all in stock items though December 1, 2009 plus FREE SHIPPING! E-mail for your reduced rate!

The Latest in Holiday Jewelry
Hi -.
I have been getting a lot of solicitations lately for holiday garb - clothes, jewelry and accessories.
I thought I would focus on what's hot this season:
WOW I like all of the trends - what do you think? Looks like based on this forecast business is 2010 should be strong (I'll keep my fingers crossed)
2010, in contrast to 2009 nine will be all about symmetry and coordination of clothing and jewelery. No longer will you be looking to call attention to your unique jewelery pieces with brash colors and shapes, but a more subtle use of your jewelery is trending in. Bold was good, now bold and stylish is the name of the game.
The price of gold continues to skyrocket. This will continue to have an impact on jewelery making trends. Brass, silver, wood and beads are going to take over the field while gold remains unaffordable for the masses. Beaded jewelery and unique custom made pieces will help people express their individual style while not taxing already strained financial resources.
Cold colors will be the new fashion trend. Wild beads and earth tone colors will be used a little more sparingly, while blacks, whites, blues and grays will help create a fashion image of strength, collection and ability. To stand out with flaring color is no longer trendsetting in 2010.
Handcrafted unique jewelery will continue to be hugely popular. More popular than ever, in 2010, because of the desire to express oneself through creativity rather than extravagance. Expect the truly fashionable to be wearing their own beaded jewelery, from necklaces, pendants, to rings and bands.
A search for meaning will lead jewelery fashion setters to create pieces that have greater symbolism. In 2010, each piece of your jewelery box should have a story to tell and a history to speak of. Selective wearing of symbolic jewelery will set the 2010 trend strongly.
Small, light bracelets, and subtle pendants will carry the day. Perhaps you have a beautifully beaded pendant, small, and nearly unnoticeable until you turn slightly and it catches the light. Jewelery of this type will be all the rage, and occasion many a conversation.
Dangling earrings, with glass beads or a central focus piece will grow in popularity. 2010 will be all about focus and meaning, and the dangling earring provides a perfect counterpoint to the less audacious clothing fashion trends that will be seen.

Friday
Hello all!
My router crashed and I just got my laptop back last night! YEAH. I have had a lot of computer issues this year.
So I need your help! I am redoing my home page on my website and need your ideas. I need a catchy phrase that draws people in and making the layout very interesting. Any ideas?
I have started my marketing campaign. I called a few hair salons to see if they would be interesting in having a trunk show. I am also posting more on FB. Don't get me wrong, I have had a great holiday season, but want to do more (always)
Well Rachael turns 17 tomorrow - so hard to believe. She is so grown up and so independent. Those of you with small kids - enjoy your time. I remember always wishing she would get bigger so that I could take take her out without worrying about changing diapers or that she could talk to me and carry on a conversation. Just enjoy every minute as they grow up so quickly:(
Well - have to go pick up her birthday cake - have a great weekend everyone. I have included a pic of an order I delivered this week - I really like and more importantly, the customer LOVED IT!!!
