Linda Lamore's Local Business featured at 1st National Bank of Ipswich - Rowley Branch

(Bruce McDonald - Branch Manager in background at his computer.)

For the month of February Lamore Allure Jewelry will be featured at the Rowley branch of the 1st National Bank of Ipswich as their Business Spotlight display.

I placed my exhibit there on Monday, and I'm happy to be a part of this program. It's a nice way to introduce my jewelry designs to the community. I have flyers on the table offering classes and home jewelry parties and contact info, also business cards are available, too.

Valentine's Day is on it's way. I've been working on some HEART jewelry in honor of Valentine's Day. I already have several unusual "polyshrink" charm bracelets listed on Etsy featuring hearts. Here is a pair of heart earrings I made that I think are pretty. They are light and comfortable to wear.

Last week, I created this sterling silver bracelet and an accompanying pendant. I don't have a photo of the pendant yet.

Where does the time go????

I blinked and January disapeared! I guess, I've just been really really busy. I know that's not a good excuse for failing to blog because everyone is busy these days.

Some neat things....I'm now member of E.J.A., a wonderful group of eclectic jewelry artisans from all over the world. I feel honored to be a part of this talented group. :)



Another good thing for me is that I'm going to be featured as this months Local Business in the First National Bank of Ipswich - Rowley Branch for the month of February. Tomorrow, I place an exhibit of my work in the bank. This is a very nice opportunity to show my jewelry to the community.

As the new year unfolds I have tons of ideas I want to try out in my jewelry making. I just wish I would have enough time to do everything I'm hoping to accomplish.

SNOWED IN WEEKEND - Dec 19 - 20 & 21

It started snowing around 2:30 PM on Friday. It snowed all the rest of the day into the night and most of Saturday, too. I'm not sure when it stopped snowing, but it started again on Sunday and snowed all day. It's a fluffy snow so far. We were snowed in all weekend. What a wonderful cozy feeling. Kevin made fish chowder in the crock pot and I baked peanut butter cookies. I finished decorating the tree and wrapped Christmas gifts. We watched hockey and football and were charmed by Wes Welker's snow angel. Not a bad way to enjoy a weekend.

Here are some weekend pictures:

Here's proof that even football players make snow angels!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY - LINDA AND HEATHER

Time to celebrate!

Since, my birthday is Dec 1st & my daughter's birthday was Nov. 18th - both weekdays...we decided to celebrate our BDs on the weekend after Thanksgiving.
The Cheese Cake Factory in Peabody was the perfect place to accomplish our mission. The Cheesecake Factory is a unique, upscale casual dining restaurant offering more than 200 menu selections including Appetizers, Pizza, Pasta, Seafood, Steaks, Salads, Sandwiches, and more.

We had to save room for dessert! There are 50 delicious cheesecakes and desserts such as White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle® Cheesecake, Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake, Pumpkin Cheesecake, and Lemon Raspberry Cheese Cake....That's what I had.

We had good food and the cheese cake desserts were to die for. All in all it was great fun.

The darker photos were taken without a flash as I didn't want to bother people by taking lots of flash pictures. Also, we lucked out and had a semi-circular booth at the end of the restaurant. This made the evening even better because it was a very busy place, and kind of noisy, too.
