| hmm, NLCSTORE you are a powerseller on Ebay, your store has 1480 items in it and they all have a photo, pretty nice photo's even. So I'm confused about the help with photo's you need. If you give me a bit more info on what you're looking for I will do my best to help you. Alain |

| Hi, Ingykiz! I also like the Wilma look, even if the pearls do seem to be wearing me rather than the other way around. The baroque Tahitians sound great. The baroque Tahitian strand that I fell in love with was already sold by the time I saw it, and I've seen nothing I've liked as much since. Sigh...my wish list just keeps growing ![]() |

)Photo editing software typically has less than a dozen functions that can be learned in an afternoon. I am using CorelPainter. Photoshop seems to be the most popular. Which do you use? Otherwise, it is quite clear that the pearls should be more lustrous than they appear in the images. They usually are. ![]() Last edited by Valeria101; 05-08-2007 at 01:16 AM. |

| Yes, I certainly do seem to have lucked into quite a beauty (but I am still waiting to see it in person - I just checked today's mail and there was no box of happiness). I know that I won't get much sympathy, but I am actually a fairly unlucky person. It is mostly minor things: I am renowned for my uncanny ability to cause traffic lights to turn red; if we get carry-out and they forget to put something in the bag, it will be the item I ordered; if I really like a certain type of product, it will invariably be discontinued.... We were watching the "Deal or No Deal" episode before Heroes this week, and they brought back the contestant who had won the least amount of money on the show and gave him a second chance. He tanked again the second time around, and my stepson called us from his mom's house to tell me "Gee, Boo, somebody actually has worse luck than you." However, every now and then something very lucky happens to me - we call it a karma-quake. Just like an earthquake suddenly shifts the earth to a more neutral position, a karma-quake rebalances my luck in one swift act. If Jeremy hadn't moved back the release from Thursday to Friday, I would never have had a shot at 101. Despite all of my fumbling and a painfully slow internet connection, I think I was somehow destined to have it. On the bright side, you can all rest assured that someday soon it will be me writhing with envy over "the one that got away". ![]() |

| I just got an e-mail saying that my package will be shipped today *jumps in glee* and I was given a tracking # to see how it's going Can't wait!

| I don't know where to put this amusing story but since it is about PP FWN pearls I bought, it seems only fitting to post it here. I live in CT. but am relocating to AZ (Caitlin country) in the next few weeks. I had to travel there several weeks ago and when I travel, I always wear all of my pearls I will need during my visit. I don't like to pack them. I had on a strand of tahitians, a strand of white SS and my new strand of my freeforms from PP. As my family and I were bording the plane, We were greeted by a steward who noticed my pearls. He was very fascinated and was trying to guess what my pearls were. "Tahitians..right? Yes. SS..right? Yes." Then he stared at my FWN and said "Oh..mmm " Then he turned to his Co-Steward and said "Those look like the ones I saw at PP I told you about!" My jaw dropped and I said these are from PP! We were so excited to both have connected over these pearls. I had to sit in my seat and wait for the palne to take off before I could continue my coversation with him Read on.. |

| After the plane took off, I walked to the back of the plane and he grabbed my arm and pulled me behind the curtain to talk. His partner was also a steward on the plane and he showed him all of my pearls while he told me of how he knew what I was wearing. He had reseached pearls on the internet, found PPs wesite, made an appt for a day visit to buy pearls for his grandmother. Kirsten and Mia helped him pick a strand of pearls and earrings and said he had the best time. I have a toddler who was fussy during the flight but I got first class sevice because of my pearls. I called PP to order my b'day gift (Golden SS necklace-I'll post photos when I can) and talked to about this encounter and Kirsten remembered him. She told Jeremy the story and he thought it was funny so I thought it would amuse the forum. Pearls can build bridges... |

| It's lovely! There are some pretty cool shapes in that strand. Weren't those un treated freshwaters great!? I only bought one. It was described lavender and is more of a pink to my eyes ( kind of wish I'd also gotten a multi colored one too). My mother says they glow, and it's true they really do. |
