Hello Everyone:

So, I haven’t posted a few days … and today’s post isn’t really going to be about jewelry.  Rather, it is about an unexpected acquisition from jewelry class.

Meet Roo:

Isn’t she sweet?  She has positively charmed everyone in the house — including the existing animals.

How did she come from jewelry class, you ask?  Excellent question.

Well, the very talented and sweet Gili Assa, who takes classes with me at Scintillant Studio, is also a dedicated volunteer for Rocket Dog Rescue.  Included in the time and energy that Gili puts in on behalf of homeless dogs is the fact that she fosters lots of little ones.  Sometimes they come to the studio with her.  One day, about two weeks ago, this little one appeared and I just sort of knew that she’d be added to the menagerie at home.

After a trial visit of a few days, it became final and my husband and I took in the little one.  We named her, Roo, after the smallest, youngest animal in the world of Winnie the Pooh, to reflect her position in the house.
