…………….The double border jacquard dress, with a draw string waist, worked with many jackets, and cardigans of all lengths from super long to BOLEROS…..The colors were……BAMBOO/BLACK…..THYME/BLACK…..and SLATE BLUE/BLACK……It was a very easy fitting comfortable dress, and the drawstring gave it a nice shape.
…………………….THE MING PEARL EARRING has two style numbers one for the IVORY PEARL, J411780, both available with GOLD or STERLING SILVER Shepard’s Hooks….or…..J411810 for the GREY MING PEARL, again available with GOLD or STERLING SILVER Shepard’s Hooks…….The Ming pearl is approx. 12mm., and measures 1 1/8″ long and 1/2″ wide. These will also work beautifully with the Ming pearl necklace with the Paper Clip links if you want an option to the longer Paper Clip earring…..On their own they are the perfect every day PEARL EARRING” The Shepard’s Hook is not you normal plain wire. It has a beautiful form which gives the earrings a special designer look on the lobe.
………………….THE MING PEARL TOGGLE NECKLACE…….J412603…..is avail in IVORY PEARLS and GREY PEARLS to match the earring…….The high polished ROLO CHAIN will also be avail. in Sterling Silver or Sterling with 18K gold plating for both pearl colors. The Ring and Toggle have subtle organic shapes which gives the necklace a modern look……From the ring hangs TWO MING PEARLS…..The top pearl measures 8mm, and the bottom pearl measures 13mm…The length of the necklace is 18″ and 1/4″ wide. The pearl drop is approx. 1 3/4 inches……There is also an identity tag, which honestly I would remove. It’s very easy to do with a needle nose plier…..I’ve been told that PEARLS are trending very strongly……REALLY?…….For me PEARLS are ALWAYS IN!
……………..If only my photos could capture the beauty of the STRAWBERRY MOON…..My photos make it look white, but the moon and the reflection on the water were a beautiful “strawberry” pink color…..The “Strawberry Moon” was named by the native Americans, because of its’ color, and it appeared each year during their strawberry harvest season….The Strawberry moon looks very big in the night sky , because the moon is the closest to the Earth that it will be all year……I am so lucky to see the moon rise from my bedroom window…..Jac would always stop me from doing whatever I was doing, and take me to the window so we could look at the moon…….”I love you over the moon”
………..With all of the recent bad news….I thought we all needed a little break, and something lighter to post about, so I thought it was time to get back to my Linea Retrospective……Feb is always the official opening of SPRING…….Feb 2013 was divided into two groups. The first group had eight new pieces and three reorders……a Crepe blazer and matching boot cut pant, a pleated georgette skirt, a clipped dot blouse……a textured jacquard fitted cardigan….a Whisper knit tank…..a jacquard pattern dress…….and a Striped open cascade front cardigan were all part of the first group……There were also three reorders…..a short georgette tiered skirt with a pleated border in black, ivory and violet…..a mock neck elbow sleeve Whisper Knit sweater in navy, perfectly pink, black, white and hot pink, and an A-line cotton jacquard jacket in a Hounds Tooth pattern. It was now offered in white, yellow, turquoise, black and iris….I am sure there are many of you that still own many of these pieces 10 years later.
