Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Great combination!
Key West is one of my all time favorite spots. Were you there for sunset? Did you see the beautiful handmade glass beads?
On Jul 06, 2009 at 10:16 am #
ChickyD aka Debra says:Love this pick, Jill!!! I would love to go to Key West!
On Jul 06, 2009 at 10:17 am #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Wow, Debra, we must have clicked at the same time!
On Jul 06, 2009 at 10:22 am #
ChickyD aka Debra says:Handmade glass beads, Jeanne? Do you know of any bead places in Progreso, Merida, or Cozumel?

Valentine Chick says:Ooh Aah! Love these colors together!
On Jul 06, 2009 at 10:27 am #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:nope, just Key West and Santo Domingo. I’m not really as well travelled as I sound. We have a time share in Key West, so we get down there every few years. Our week includes Christmas and it doesn’t always coincide with the school break.

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Are those the stops on your cruise?
On Jul 06, 2009 at 10:30 am #
ChickyD aka Debra says:Yes, but I would SO love to go to Key West! and buy beads and see all the Hemingway stuff and sip a mojito…

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Let me know before hand ~ I know a great waterside restaurant with a phenomenal happy hour Drinks and appetizers 1/2 price from 4-6 every evening. We had many late lunches/early dinners!

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:One of these days I want to go to Mexico.
When do you leave?
On Jul 06, 2009 at 10:36 am #
ChickyD aka Debra says:I leave July 20…2 weeks from today. Actually, I’m leaving for New Orleans on the 18th. Know of any good bead stores there?
On Jul 06, 2009 at 10:41 am #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Ok – I did go there for a few days once. Sam’s first school exchange trip when she was in 10th grade. There was no way I was sitting home during spring vacation while she was in Spain. No beads shops, but I will have to see if I can find the receipt of the shop where I bought the necklace got me started again. Silver chain, gray fwp, and an iolite drop. I needed earrings to match so off I went to the local shop. The rest is history!

Elaine aka Belly Chick says:Love those bright greens!!
On Jul 06, 2009 at 10:58 am #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Sometimes I scare myself, Debra. The shop was at 614 Royal st, New Orleans. The charge receipt say ETCO, inc. But I’m sure that’s not the name of the shop. They had a psychic or maybe “aura” or “angel” reader upstairs. And jewelry from many local artists down.
The necklace is from the shop in NO. I forgot about the tanzanite. The earrings are mine. My first! (which would explain the sloppy wraps)

Classy Chick JbyJill says:No, bummer… I wasn’t there for the sunset
Key West was beautiful!! Out of the 3 stops… It was my favorite! I didn’t see the glass beads either!! I wish I would have!!
On Jul 06, 2009 at 11:44 am #
ChickyD aka Debra says:Gorgeous, Jeanne! Love them all. There’s NOTHING wrong with those earrings! I love them! Have you seen how they wrap in the Sundance catalog??????????? Your wraps look great!!!!!!!
Was the bead shop visit pre or post Katrina???
On Jul 06, 2009 at 11:45 am #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:That would have been at the Sunset Celebration on Mallory Square. They have unusual performances and many vendors. I’ve found beautiful dichroic glass and blown glass!
On Jul 06, 2009 at 11:47 am #
ChickyD aka Debra says:I’m going to write it down AND google it!
On Jul 06, 2009 at 11:48 am #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Thanks Debra – Not familiar with Sundance. I’ll look it up.
The visit was post- Katrina. If you can you should take a bus tour. Our tour touched on the areas impacted by Katrina, but I did not want to do the full Katrina tour. We visited the different areas of NO.
On Jul 06, 2009 at 11:49 am #
ChickyD aka Debra says:OOPS!!!!! I’m mixing up Key West stuff with N. O. stuff!
On Jul 06, 2009 at 11:51 am #
ChickyD aka Debra says:Yeah, I’ve seen lots of Katrina damage on my trips from Texas to Mobile. It’s sad.
On Jul 06, 2009 at 11:52 am #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:the sunset info and glass beads is Key West. I’ll try to be specific in my responses. LOL
On Jul 06, 2009 at 11:53 am #
ChickyD aka Debra says:Gotta go now… Need to make myself useful…

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Jill, what a gorgeous pick for your Key West stop! Love these colors!
Jeanne, your earrings are a perfect match for the necklace you purchased! So glad it got you beading again!
I Googled Sundance several months ago and got put on their catalog mailing list (free). Even though I would never buy anything — crazy outrageous prices and Debra’s right about the work not always being up to our standards — the catalogs do give some good design ideas.
