Early March 2008

I had a fantastic time in Sioux Falls! Laurel Lather, owner of Food and Fermentations hosted a private jewelry trunk show for me....complete with a car trunk for the jewelry!

I made the 9 hour drive from Illinois on Friday March 14 and arrived with temps in the 40's and SUNSHINE!!!

Son Jordan is attending Augustana College and he was working at Laurel's that evening! I was pleased to meet his great friend Izzy...who is gorgeous, funny and SMART!

Izzy made me her famous Godiva Fondue with raspberries...this after a sumptous meal of a gorgeous AHI TUNA cake with a creme fraiche wasabi topping courtesy of Laurel! Heaven!!!

Saturday I set up for the Jewelry Trunk Show (notice the pic above with the car TRUNK!)
I met Tom Bennett's (South Dakota Symphony) wife Julia for the first time. When I lived in Sioux Falls 3 years ago I was on the South Dakota Symphony League Board! Some of Laurel's great friends/customers stopped by too! What Fun! It was delightful meeting Lynette Kelley and her husband.... who not only bought the "Buttercream Pearls" she is wearing...but also brought in pearls from her recent trip to Las Vegas. I am going to incorporate them into a custom creation!

MMMM this was for dinner Saturday Night....Chicken Mole....
Laurel...you have presentation down to an art form!...and of course the flavor was outstanding!
Laurel and I got to have our Girlie time....fun in the hot tub...shopping at 8th & Railroad
...and lunch at Sanaa's!

On the way home I stopped in Minnesota and had an early Easter Dinner with Mom at Torey's, shopping, lunch at Costa's and a meeting with one of my artist friends, Russ Docken...check out his incredible artwork!
