The Necklace
My lovely husband just returned from a 3 week trip abroad. He spent it working...BUT in Florence, Italy. Lucky dog!! And I am lucky too because he bought me the most amazing necklace created by famed, italian designer, Angela Caputi. I googled her and "she has been making and creating high-fashion costume jewelry in plastic and synthetic materials since 1975. Her stunning work makes a definite fashion statement and is very easy to wear". And my favorite statement...."Not easily found in the U.S".
I received a espresso brown 5 strand necklace with black beaded straps that is TO DIE FOR.
I love love it and I have already purchased 2 new dresses to wear my new necklace with.
Here are a few samples of her work.

My Christmas Poem
Hi! My Mom just forwarded me a Christmas poem I wrote back in 1984 (I was 12)!! What a hoot to read!!! My New Years Resolution is write this blog every day....so I am starting early. My family liked the poem, hope yours does too. Merry Christmas.
it's up to the north pole
all covered with snow
that is whirled about
by the cold winds that blow
the air was nippy;
the snow was crispy while
then low an behold
what a wonderful sight
there, sitting atop a mound of white snow
was a brand-new sleigh all ready to go.
the elves were all giggly
as they watched from the shop
santa's face was aglow
as he danced, with a hop
"i think that i've said
all i'm going to say
let's all go for a ide
in my shiny new sleigh"
they hitched up the reindeer
and away they all flew
across the white snow
what a wonderful view
santa just laughed as the elves frolicked and played about
"it's time for lunch, you're hungry, no doubt"
they had crackers, and hot cocoa to drink
"how about some pie"? said mrs. claus, with a wink.
later that night as the elves packed the last toy
they found the meaning of christmas..lots of love, and much joy!
they loaded the sleigh which was ready for flight
"merry christmas", said santa
and he flew out of sight.
santa came home with a big empty sack
the elves gathered 'round
to welcome him back
the story is ended
and bedtime is near
be good and keep smiling
we'll see you next year!!!!
