Today I made another rosary. This one is for my sister in-law who is here for a short holiday.

After listening to just the first verse of the first song on tri-lingual beauty Rue Melo's self-titled debut album I was hooked. I knew she was an artist I wanted to know more about. It turns out her music is the result of a mix of influences due in

Many-Faceted Speaks: 360-Degree Speakers Pump Out Sweet Sounds from Anywhere in the Room: "Here's a wild idea for a design concept: put together a speaker with 12 sides, otherwise known as a dodecahedron, and you'll get a 360-degree blast of music. These spacey-looking Quasar speakers send their sound all over the place, so no matter where you are in the room, their sweet audio will be spilling out from within their crystalline confines, heading right for your ears.Designers Emanuele Patton & Michele Menescardi dreamed up these delectable dozen-sided baubles, where the idea is you can place these non-directional speakers wherever you want, and you won't be able to tell where the sound is coming from. We're not sure how this will affect what audiophiles like to call the 'soundstage,' but if these babies sound anywhere near as good as they look, they'll probably kick some serious ass.

"Dusty Plum" (sold already ~ sorry - you have to have a party!) A glorious combination of garnet, light smoky topaz, light amethyst, light rose & smoky topaz Swarovski crystals & powder almond crystal pearls, 14K gf all hand-coiled. OK - let's get jiggy wit it now: "Unchained Melody" has beautiful gem quality faceted rainbow florite. Nice clarity. Surrounded with AA quality freshwater pearls and loads of Turkish silver. I love using Turkish silver - personally in most designs I do prefer the bright look of these high quality pieces. Turkish silver are all hand made - no two pieces will be alike. Also, they contain 95% silver & 5% cadmium. Cadmium helps prevent the silver from tarnishing as quickly. Turkish silver does cost a bit more than Bali 92.5% silver. "FALL ESSENCE" - Girls, I must educate you. I've pulled this out at my parties and I still have it available... you need to come here so I can teach you how to recognize what to look for. Blow up that pic babe.... Those are
