NEW MONDAY BLOG!! In Honor Of The Most Wonderful Band In The World!

SUGARLAND!!!
*link takes you to their youtube channel. which is FANTASTIC!

Truth be told, I...er ..forgot it was Monday! Courtney is taking a few days off to celebrate her ONE YEAR wedding anniversary (HAPPY ANNIVERSARY COURTNEY AND DAN!)by heading up to Vermont to see Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeroes (another very very good band.. hit the link!)

Which basically means. it was up to Laura and myself to TURN IT OUT today! A non-stop Monday in the gallery/packing and shipping central, followed by a 7 pm painting session and culminating with an impromptu dinner party for "The Judith" on the deck! (This picture was taken through the window.. as I was inside.. slaving over a hot stove, while the Judith sipped wine and nibbled on carrots and hummus (*the way it should be)

ANYWAY.. all this to say.. WHOOPS! I forgot it was a blogging Monday!

You do know Giving Tree Jewelry will never break a promise to you, right?

That includes a blog every Monday! Even if it comes from a Eurostar train heading North back to Rome, asking for more time ;) (as it did last week!)

So what is today's blog about?
I'll shout it again...
SUGARLAND!!!

Band members Jennifer Nettles, Kristian Bush and manager Gail Gellman, have been friends of ours FOR YEARS now.. and we couldn't be more proud of their MASSIVE AND TOTALLY DESERVED SUCCESS...
but after being prompted by a customer today to find the necklace Jennifer wrote about on her site
www.jennifernettles.com



we were SO TOUCHED that the band took the time to celebrate us!
*Go to the 'friends' section of her site...

How lucky are we??

Here is a link to the necklace, BESS by Jeanine Payer on our site!

Jennifer and Kristian could be walking advertisements for Giving Tree Jewelry by now!

Gail created custom JEANINE PAYER BRACELETS when the bands single (Baby Girl) first went gold..
That's how Jennifer 'discovered' Jeanine Payer herself and has purchased about half a dozen pieces over the years!
Jennifer also wears TINY WISHES and Kristian ROCKS the Me & Ro FEARLESSNESS!

So this is a blog for a band we LOVE, people we ADORE (who have managed to stay wonderful, down to earth and true blue DESPITE THE FAME.. BRAVO!)

and friends like Denise Tucker, who offer inspiration when moments ago there was none!

HAPPY MONDAY! HOPE IT IS FULL OF GREAT MUSIC!
