To a Fabulous New Year

And YAY because BLUE is one of my two favorite colors and it's making a huge comeback
this year! Pantone, the global authority on color, announced that 2010's color of the year is turquoise! Regardless of it being a hot color for now (I honestly haven't seen it not be a hot color), I simply love it for its bold color--I wear it with almost any clothing
that I put on. I have mixed it primarily with gold over the years, but also have
recently started to mix it into our Silver Collection. I am also using london blue
topaz which has a richness that I adore. And I am using london blue topaz over
white mother of pearl which is yummy!

New Year's Celebration in My Home

I had a casual gathering in my home to celebrate our new year in mid-January with
everyone who works full-time for me--Maria, me, Karen, Blanca and Erin (Dori took
this photo and is not pictured here).

A funny thing that happened--we all took a tour through my house, and when we returned
to the kitchen, my dog Whitney was standing ON TOP of the kitchen island eating
the crackers and brie with fig preserves! Should I call her Marley?
