"Back to bling."...Deb goes full time at the Art centre market

Submitted by debra on Sun, 10/04/2009 - 05:54.

Just a quick note myself and my lovely assistant Martine are back pretty much full time BOTH DAY'S  all weekend at the Art Centre market.

Of course do keep in mind I do travel sometimes(visiting exotic places such as Blenheim!)

Ha!Ha!

That and if the weathers a total pile of poo*(something my very ,nice clean dog decided to roll in on a recent trip to the West Coast..yum!!!A fresh ,green,smelly pile of Cow Crap!!!)

Inbetween seasons...still trying to sparkle!

I can't believe it-I've finally succumbed to the "dreaded lurgy'-

You know the kind-that bug that your friend has,or your friends brothers kids..The one that's been going around more people than Pamela Andersons undies*(Did anybody see her at fashion week)..trashy,trashy,trashy!!

So yep-I'm feeling like shite-trying to smile ,because we all know mum's  DON'T get sick-do they?One day on the couch is pretty much all you get IF you play your cards right.

Spring things in the Garden city-a jewellers guide

Well,it's finally arrived and despite me sounding kind of repetitive -I'm bloody happy SPRING has arrived...

This means I tend to get out more,anyone familiar with a Southern winter realizes exactly what I mean-as in winter it's all about staying in,drinking wine,eating slow cooked lambshanks...Which I cook to perfection*(unless of course I've started too early on the wine!)-or Tequila as was the scenario one fateful Sunday arvo...

So I'm brushing of my "squirrelness"-is that a word-if it's not I don't care..

Apologies all-it has been a while!

Is'nt it great now spring is here?We drove down to Dunedin to visit my folks the other weekend and I could'nt get over how many tiny baby lambs had hatched(oops...that's incorrect as they are not birds deb!).considering it is only today the first day of Spring-so far it's been a warm starter...Yipppeeeee!!!

Now I love gardening-well..love is a strong word-so i 'enjoy" is a better term growing things-which  is far nicer than killing things(Karma and all that).

Designer jewellery-part 2,what to be aware of!Rhodium Pandemonium!!!

Submitted by debra on Thu, 08/13/2009 - 04:36.

Last week a customer of mine rung asking if I could 'fix' a ring she had bought  recently for son from a well known store in Christchurch .

I was'nt sure what she mean't so asked her to bring it in and show me..*(I don't normally touch repair work ,but she's such a great  customer and she seemed so upset!What the hell!).

The ring in question was a  Dyberg Kern mens ring-it was only 2 months old but already the Rhodium plating had worn off,and rendered the finish on the ring all mottly ,tarnished and cheap looking.

Jewellery is alway's an emotive buy-rarely is there not a story that surrounds it's purchase,thoughts feelings come into play more often than not ...But what are the other things to consider before spending (or in some cases)-COMPLETELY blowing the budget on that new piece of bling!!

Well,I'm back home in Christchurch after what was a hugely sucessful 4 day's in Auckland..

Sitting here sipping on 2 week old Pinot *( yes, it does taste rather like vinegar but,hell I'm cheap ,and as my son just stated "Is'nt wine better when it's older?)Bless him..

Wow,what a ride

Auckland here I come!!!

Submitted by debra on Wed, 07/15/2009 - 09:12.

Wow!

Hard to believe tomorrow I fly up to "the big little city"*(who came up with that crappy phrase-and how much did they get paid for it?)-I swear some times Im in the wrong industry!!!

Anyway I've mountains of new work and after a well needed massage for "grinder infused" muscles and a lovely girly manicure(dark silver darrrlings...)I'm felling slightly human.

I tell you what that bloody grinder of mine deserves a holiday too-I can recommend good ol' Makita-it just keeps going!
