July 2013 Gift Show

Whew!!!! The July Gift Show is over! And a very sucessful show it was. For the first time we had 4 people working at one time. My sincere thanks to Alex ( my right hand and more), Linda ( our newest  recruit-she is so easy to work with), Lance Bird (grandson extraordinaire-credit card guru and all round great help) and Elizabeth ( my daughter who came on Sun with sandwiches from Phillipes and stayed to work.) Behind the scenes are my husband Lance who helps us move in, set up and tear down. When he isn't a teamster he is an architect who is very busy. Yoal (Alex's friend also helped with set up etc.)  I would not be able to do this show without all this support. I hope you all know that and I love you all.
Now on to my clients! You are all so much fun, so loyal and patient.I know sometimes you have to wait for help and our credit card machine gave us fits but I hope it was worth it. I am so happy with the size of our booth and with 20' of showcases you can all look while you are waiting.  I want you to know I am working almost every day to bring you great silver at good prices. I will be off to Taxco before the next show so there will be lots of new pieces.

Presenting the Jane Bird Collection

June1, 2013  I am proud to announce the First piece in the Jane Bird Collection of sterling silver
 Produced by hand in Taxco, Mexico-Manos Amorosas

              I found this design on a trip and believe it was made in the 30's or 40's in Taxco. I bought the vintage earrings for my personal use and Lightbulb. They are too fabulous to keep to myself  so my collection has been born. I am having them made for me in Taxco and they will be available for the first time at the
          California Gift Show-Los Angeles
           Design Imports
           July19-22 Booth 330-332. 
I hope to bring you more exclusive pieces in the near future. Jane

Jewelry Can Make the Difference

Showcasing one of my most popular designs, The photo of me wearing a Lemichol sterling necklace was taken in Ensenada, Mx at a party given by my friend -Alex-and sales associate for her son's First Communion. It is artculated so that it lays flat on anyone and very lightweight. There is a whole collection so if you haven't seen or bought it take a look. I love it.It is hard to find a good picture these days.Jane

Del Mar

Del Mar was an experiment or marketing event for me. While billed as an Antique Show I had done it once before and thought I would give it another go-well don't think it is the show for me. I had a large booth near the front, Lisa came to help and we did meet some very nice ladies but attendance was low and it is hard to sell when you don't have live bodies. Lance came down on the train to help us pack up and drive me home. The weather was beautiful-had some great meals but adios to Del Mar-at least for now.I am including some photos of beautiful and happy clients-thanks for buying and posing. Jane

Another happy client!

New copper jewelry!

Palos Verdes Art Center Palos Verdes Art Center April 12-13

As I drove up Hawthorne Blvd I didn't recognize the Art Center. After several years and several million dollars the center is open and fabulous. I have done this sale for 10+ years. It is a home tour, luncheon and boutique. I have always done well but I really must thank all my clients-now friends for their support. As my business has evolved they have followed, taken my lead and embraced my beautiful silver from Taxco. The silver is perfect for their sophisticated, yet casual lifestyle.  Thanks to my right hand Alex for making the long drive and selling her heart out. Thanks to Gail, Liz, MJ and the entire committee for all your work and encouragement. I love doing this show.
A big thank you to the ladies who bought the wonderful frog necklaces. You created such a buzz and sense of fun for the ladies in the room. Note the smiles on the faces of two of the frog owners. Thank you all again and I will see you next year. Jane

Two happy frog owners!
