Happy Holidays--Continued

I hope you are all enjoying the season. To get in the spirit of things, my family and I drove to a tree farm in Wisconsin and chopped down our very own Christmas tree. We do this every year, and every year I am surprised that the tree is much larger than I thought by the time we get it home. We set a new record this year...9 1/2 feet. Luckily, we have high ceilings!

Marta and I had a couple of fun events last week. We were asked to participate in an event at The Drake hotel in Chicago called "Tea With Jane". The proceeds from this event went to the Jane Addams Hull House, a diverse organization that assists individuals in becoming self-reliant. We got to be supermodels for an afternoon....OK, maybe just plain models. In addition to showing off our Custom Baubles jewelry to the very distinguished crowd, we wore some amazing fur coats and really nice clothes from the Carlisle Collection. My jewelry was such a hit, I actually ran out of business cards. I love that these ladies had such great taste. :)

The very next evening, at the urging of several of my friends and neighbors, I hosted a party at my home. My very large Christmas tree and offerings of wine and food created quite the festive mood. It was so much fun to see everyone enthusiastically trying on my Baubles. It reminded me of playing dress up in my (much) younger years. Many of my guests were able to get some holiday shopping done for their loved ones...and themselves. :)

Make sure you check back on our site later this week as I will be adding some new Baubles to the collection. And don't forget that we are offering FREE SHIPPING for the Holidays. We are trying to do our part to make your holiday season as stress free as possible.
