Toooo funny. Let me see, quick scan around the room...I see I can sleep around 4 on the floor in the LR, and our tent is a 6 person. We also have a pup tent which sleeps 2, so that puts us at 12. Hubbie works on a private island, so I could possibly swing some more accomodation there (they...

Thank you for the compliments about my tahitians and my neck! I used to be self conscious as I was called giraffe neck in school, but now in my 40's I am content with the neck. Funny how contentment comes now (along with the mid-life crisis!). If I could only have one necklace it would be...

Hi all: Terrible news from our Pacific Rim Cousins. We are all on high alert here for destructive waves, but mostly thinking about the people of Japan and all others who are affected by this earthquake...

I think it would be nice with some contrast. Like gold balls...remember when Sarah showed a picture of someone who had made a necklace of gold balls made with wire and had pearls on the wire? Maybe gold wire balls with no pearls...or bronzey metal balls with chocolate diamond pave...

I agree Lisa. Maybe I'll go to the local beadshop and get some of that stretchy string/elastic, and do it up that way. I might be able to do 3 around if I use my extras...with a chunk or two of apatite thrown in (they have an aqua-ish overtone). They're cool, but lack zing around the neck...

Thank you. Those big chunky fwp are so neat to play with if you are a tactile person. I don't have a whole lot of pearls (you've seen most of what I have), but those ones get the most attention. Keshi's are fabulous if you rebel against that perfect round pearl Jackie-O look. Mind you, even...

Maybe now...

Well I thought I had them in there...

These are my white fwp - my Wilma Flintstone Look. The smaller are my biwa sticks. They need to be re-strung somehow...but I really like their shapes and lustre. You don't have to spend a lot of money to have beautiful and interesting pearls.

I think you will be very pleased. That moment when you first open the box...

So does that beautiful cat of yours. I believe white pearls were the perfect choice...

Oh dear, it has been a whole year now...the smallest size they have...is that 6.5-7mm? I believe so. My neck is long (giraffe in former life) and so I was worried that the larger ones might not suit me. Now I sometimes wonder if these are too small, but they do work at times as long as you...

I have all of you to thank for your concise advise during this past year. As well, the vendors that PGers suggested I try have been superb. I feel like I know you all a little now...we are friends yes? Someday you must all come for tea at my little house, but don't forget to bring your pearls...

You are so right my eagle-eyed friend. It is Cathy's for certain. All the way from Australia to Canada in the dead of winter...they came so cold and so beautiful. These are a bit warmer in colors than my PP metallics...my test is do they go with blue jeans. My Mum always despaired of me ever...

Thank you. It is not easy to model and take photos at the same time I am finding out, as many of you likely already know. Especially when one is camera-challenged! Now I understand when others say the colors are not coming true. They really aren't at all. I had wanted a tahitian keshi for a...

My PP metallics in cooler tones, and my metallic keshi's. I love exotics...

My akoya keshi strand... and hopefully a few others as I get the time...the photos (thanks to inexpensive camera and marginal skills) does not do the necklace justice.

Okey dokey. I'm hoping that my pictures made it up alright. Computers are not my strong point, so be patient if I've gaffed somehow...and for the quality of the pics! You can't see the colors very well, but they are white, cream, gray, bluish and a lovely green/pistachio one.

It is very beautiful!

"native French, and even parisiennes, wince at the french spoken in some parts of France, Quebec, Tunisia, Morocco etc" Them's fighting words ;) I would hope that people don't wince at anyone trying to communicate with them and that respect is shown for how people express their native...
