Thank you Pattye! I'm not going for the brooch (I never wear them). I just wanted to show this for those on the forum that might be interested.

Helen, See the necklace I bought recently, it reminds me very much of the two strands you are showing here (mine are natural). Yours will become more beautiful as you wear them like mine did.

Thanks for the comment Kiwipaul! You have good eyes ;) Interesting thing about those pearls is that when I bought them they looked kind of miserable and not interesting. I had to buy them for what they were. After a good bath, and few wears, they started to glow and I have this strange...

Lauren Bacall (born Betty Joan Perske) was a cousin to Israel's former president, Shimon Peres (Szymon Perski). An amazing lady and an amazing actress. She will be missed. You were so lucky Blair and thank you Mikeyy.

Thank you Cynde for your descriptions and thank you Wendy for your photos! I almost feel like I was at the Ruckus.

I'm following all the preparations and excitement. Wishing you all a great time. Waiting for reports and lots of photos.
