Etched out some time in my day for jewelry shopping.
My friend hosted a party to raise money for KIPP LA Schools, operator of three high-performing public charter schools in South and East Los Angeles.
She provided wine, cheese, chocolate and a gorgeous array of handmade jewelry.
Every year I hunt for the perfect Christmas gift for my sister.
I am a minimalist. I admire sparkly baubles on others, but limit myself to the basics.
My sister is the bold royal purple to my soft sky blue.
I chatted and ate and perused, thoroughly enjoying myself. My girlfriend described the history of every bead and clasp. So many choices!
With her great taste and guidance I found the perfect piece.
And, surprise, surprise, something simple for myself as well.
The purchases are a celebration of my girlfriend's creativity and generosity and will be worn with pride.
