Linda Tisdale Design The photo to the right is of the back of a design by Linda Tisdale. Linda’s design won our customer appreciation contest for this design. The clasp shown was purchased from a past JB. Do you remember it? We really like the design and have featured it in the Jewelry Design section of the website. The piece is for sale on our website as well. If you would like to read more about Linda and her design, you can check it out there. Congratulations Linda!!

We have a lot of things to fill you in on. . . .So, here goes. Kevin just had a birthday and you know he has never been up North. So, I decided to take him to NYC for a little visit. Cousin Lisa gave him a tour of the important hot spots on his birthday like McSorleys Tap Room (the oldest bar in NY), Yaffa Cafe, and his favorite NYC watering hole, Coyote Ugly. Don’t think he will forget Miss Maria any time soon. My dear friend Lydia turned 40 last week as well and Audra will have another birthday this week. Big Al will be 75 on Friday!!! Can you even believe that? I was in the post office and one of the postmen asked me if "that was my husband" that came into the post office for me yesterday? Most of you know that I’m not married. My dad, aka: Big Al usually helps me out with post office runs. Well, Al looks good, indeed. But, what does that say about me? Humm! I think the guy thought Al caught himself a young babe, don’t you?
