2/24/10: whew! wonderful whirlwind last week.
A great thing happened last week: my friend Goran visited me from Sweden. We last saw each other when we were 18 years old. 41 years ago. We visited old Detroit stomping grounds, including the DIA:
did a drive-by of my brother John’s college apartment:
and checked out something new, the Heidelberg Project:
It was a wonderful reunion but I’m now back to work reuniting with all the goodies that surround me!
Check out what arrived yesterday:
Ian Nicholas adjustable rings. . .soooo sweet and soooo affordable.
Sgt. peppers jackets from Knitted Dove….soft, cozy, comfy, cute.
Sweeeeet Softino lace-ups in two luscious colors (this pic doesn’t do justice).
New Uno magnetic jewelry colors and sizes! I now wear the big one all the time…on my wrist…or around my neck.
So, hey…come on in and reunite yourselves with the Heavenly Metal goods.
2/11/10: whoo hoo! check this out!
This is my friend Jess Constable, a jeweler and writer, now living in Chicago. She worked in the store several years ago while finishing undergrad school at UofM. I believed in her then….and even more so now! Her jewelry business has grown by leaps and bounds plus she’s developed a blog that reaches out to people world-wide: makeundermylife.com.
Every now and then, Jess calls on me for advice on how to get through some of the little and the not-so-little steps she’s taken since her move to Chicago. She’s become so successful, I often forget our age difference and thus the life experiences I am able to share with her.
Today Jess honored me by asking me to participate in the “Design Your Life” portion of her blog. This is what she posted today:

Here’s one readers reaction:
Jess – Today’s ‘Design Your Life’ made my morning and re-affirmed some of the things I’ve been thinking already. The last line really resonated with me: Be happy. Get a dog. Like your work. Don’t waste your time with people you don’t completely love and respect. Don’t burden yourself with the things that didn’t happen.
Vicki seems like a wonderful mentor. Thank you so much for sharing this. Erin
Wow! What a sweet note on a cold wintry day. Thank you Jess!
