…………………There were some wonderful items in the May 05 group…….the cotton tunic shirt at the upper left with the thread and jewel emb. was one of Jac’s favorites and she would take it away on all of our trips. It had the look of a Mexican wedding shirt. It came in the white and turquoise with multi color emb. I believe we ended up putting jewel buttons down the front to match the emb. The buttons were in muli colors. The inspiration for the top came from an emb. shoe that Jac owned………Now she had a top to match her shoes!!!! That’s the advantage of having a designer for a husband!………..The next tunic was another top that Jac wore often in the Caribbean. It was in  a sheer silk crinkle georgette with a matching tank…….The jewel and sequin emb. was multi color and had a Moroccan flare…Some of the jewels outlining the opening were triangular in shape…..I loved the way this tunic came out. I thought the colors were very special and not commonplace..It came in Spice and Violet with multi color jewels and sequins…..I remember copper and turquoise sequins on the spice…The silk CDC and Chiffon tunic, the cotton/span legging the solid silk tunic and pull-on pant, the sequin V-neck sweater were all reordered styles……The georgette gored skirt was a knew skirt………………My 5th Anni. was a success.

……………..The day started with a magnificent sunrise, but the storm clouds were already coming. Here, on the shore of CT., it didn’t start to snow until early evening, but when it did start it came down with a vengeance! The wind off the water was so strong that it blew the snow right off of my driveway never covering one half of the driveway [photo at upper left] leaving the black top exposed. Where ever the wind hit my roof, no snow gathered. You can see the path by the water is clean of snow and the grass is still showing through. However, in the back where the wind didn’t blow everything away we had a good 16 to 17 inches of snow. In the picture to the lower right you can see a path I cleared away. What you can’t see is that there is clear plastic on top of the bricks. I have the area outside my back door and just beyond the gate, and the area around the garbage bin covered in plastic. When all is over and the snow is shoveled away…..I have Franco take the plastic up and my bricks are perfectly clean…..no ice or slippery spots for me to slide and fall on……All in all it was a beautiful snow fall!
