It's the end of the world, and I feel fine.

We all woke up alive this morning and apparently the world hadn't ended.  So let me tell you that no spouse is going to accept as an excuse for not finding a present under the tree: "But honey, I thought the world was going to end!  There didn't seem to be any reason for me to buy something if we weren't going to be here!"  Which means you have exactly four days left to get shopping for something beautiful.  And just in case you're thinking of doing it with me, I will be open all four of those days. 

I always like this time of year.  Not so much because people are buying Christmas presents as that it just seems to bring out the love in people.  And love is what my business is really all about.  How much better is it to give someone a piece of jewelry that they will wear and treasure for the rest of their lives, than another piece of electronic equipment that will be obsolete in two years (or even next year!).  Jewelry doesn't ever get obsolete (well some of the trendy stuff comes and goes but the timeless kind of work doesn't).  But a lot of what I sell this year isn't even Christmas gifts, but just statements of love; engagement rings, replacement wedding bands (people seem to lose them constantly!), and just gifts for being there. 

But if you're still stuck looking for Christmas goods, I'm still here and the earrings above, 18k yellow gold with black South Sea pearls and diamonds would make a great gift for someone.  Come by and say hi!
