Thanks Pattye!

I am just luvving my new peach, pink, lavender & white Freshwater Baroque strand which has overtones of champagne, copper, green & fuschia. A wonderful addition to my collection. Can't wait to wear it out on the town!

Thank you Newberry!

Thank you Battah. Congrats on your new launch! I am going there very shortly to have a look!!!

Hi LitGeek! You and me both. They are my "faves" and I just got them last week. They felt so nice and cool on my neck I felt like wearing them to bed! Ha ha ha!

Thank you Pearl Dreams. I had just received 3 new strands from La Pearla Pearls that day so i was a happy lady!

Thank you Caitlin. I have not made any of them myself. I thought about it though and even downloaded the instructions. I doubt that I will ever try it though. My biggest thrill is looking at thousands of pics of pearls, finding the ones that I absolutely must have and treating myself. It's my...
