One of the big highlights of the weekend is hanging out at the Kojima studio with our pearl friends. I took lots of pics while playing with all the pearls! First up- earrings!

Back home from the fantastic pearly weekend with all the PBTB friends. Sorting through all the party pics and will post them when I can organize them a bit. Here’s one to start-

How fun! I’ve seen Misha Hawaii at some events when I was in Hawaii. I haven’t purchased anything yet but I love looking. Red, Sunseeker and I met up at SFO yesterday and drove over to the Acqua Hotel in Mill Valley. This will be the setting for this year’s Pearls By The Bay. It’s amazing how...

Wow, Pearlgully! I haven’t seen SOC in larger sizes in a long time. It’s beautiful! Thanks Jeremy! The purple pearls and new Bunny will both be with me this weekend. Looking forward to catching up with you!!!

Thanks BWeaves! Thanks Syrie, I do love comfy clothes. I love your Tahitian rope and its versatility! A Japan Kasumi pendant on a Kasumi keshi chain, and a Kasumi keshi necklace, all from Kojima. I put the tiny Kasumi keshi necklace together.

Thanks so much, Pella, Syrie, Pattye and Pomelo! Oooo, Syrie, what a fantastic start! Your very first post is fabulous. I’m happy to see you join us to play! Two strands I put together with Tahitians from CMW and JNB. Metal discs made by a San Francisco artist that I added Akoya to, and my...

Beautiful, PearlyLibrarian! Happy Mother’s Day! I’m wearing a shirt my mom made for herself. She made a matching shirt for me, and you can see my sister running in the background with her matching shirt and wide cuffed jeans. I have the “pearl” hairclip I’m wearing somewhere in the house, but...

Thank you so much, Cathy! Can’t wait to see you and Walter! Starting a new chapter… Introducing the new Bunny and Traveling Pearl. I had a difficult time deciding on a Traveling Pearl. It had to be a PP pearl because Jeremy coined the Traveling Pearl, but I couldn’t decide whether or not to go...

SS and Akoya rope from Kojima, a golden SS pendant from Kojima, and an Akoya keshi pearl chain and earrings I made.

Purple FW pearls from a PP Live event that I made into a tin cup, and a pair of pecan charms from Kojima that slid right over the leverbacks I usually wear.

Thanks so much, CatMom! I was able to scoot through the tunnels and keep up with the tunnel guide with no problem, but most of my friends had a difficult time maneuvering the tight spaces and it took them quite a while to surface. Visions of Winnie the Pooh stuck in Rabbit’s hole. They were...

Thanks so much, Cathy! It’s always so good to be home! Japan Kasumi keshi necklace, a Kasumi pendant, and a long pearl chain made of wild natural SOC pearls, all from Kojima.

Enjoy wearing your pretty new baroques, Freshpeachez! Wow, Steve, that is quite the project!! We took so many different means of transportation from buffalo cart, tractor trailer, Grab cars, planes, ferry, cruise boat, motorcycles, rickshaw, dragon boat, lantern boat, and a bunch of different...

Thanks, Shani. It’s a real bummer… Metallic FW studs from a PP Live event, a large FW pendant from Kojima, and the Japan Kasumi pearl that “chose” me at last year’s Pearls By The Bay.

Besides the Traveling Pearl, I pretty much only take studs on vacation with me. Traveling Pearl and grey Tahitian studs from PP. Two Akoya studs from Takahashi. Two Tahitian studs from Kojima.

Jeremy, it’s true and soooo sad.:cry: Thanks so much, ennui, Syrie and Cathy! I think my guide was amused that I was more enamored taking pics of the beautiful outfits instead of the historic buildings.:LOL: Steve, I didn’t see the cable cars around Ha Long Bay. We only went there to cruise...

A map of the pearl farms along Ha Long Bay And the showroom was huge. I snapped these pics when I first entered, then saw all the signs for no photography, so I did not try to take any pics of the display cases. There was a lot to see. Nothing that struck me as gorgeously outstanding, but the...

There were several women at tables lined up to demonstrate the pearl extracting process and grafting.

Thank you, Linda! I was devastated. It was like losing a pet.:cry: I have some sister bunnies and will be preparing one of them for future travels. One of the stops we made was at Legend Pearl in Ha Long Bay. There were three very large facilities/showrooms right in a row in Ha Long Bay. I...

Even pearl buttons and dangling from the hair-
