Oh My Darlin', Oh My Darlin'.....

That would be Clementine, who just loves visiting when her mamma drops by. Always perfectly put together and with a smile on her face (could it be because her brother stayed home? or it is a non-school uniform day?). Love ya, "Darlin' Clementine"....

A Welcome Visitor....

Arun (yes, that's Arun, designer of Arunashi) dropped in today to show us his latest high carat designs, including diamond studded bangles, bezel set gemstone chains, and knockout earrings and rings. Expect to see them online....soon!

Saturday Night....

It's the perfect evening to stay home with a pile of new magazines, and to our surprise, the December Vanity Fair and Town & Country were already on our newsstand. Take a peek, it's a Cathy Waterman love fest, with Cathy's divine Cleopatra cuff on Julia Roberts (Vanity Fair) and Laura Linney on the cover of Town & Country in a great ring, and also shown inside wearing tons of Waterman goodies. Time to drop your hints for the holidays, girls....if he's quick, we can deliver.

Get Ready to Rock with Irene...

And we do mean rock, with hunks of gemstones in amazing colors of the rainbow, fashioned into jewelry that only Irene can make. Let us know if you are in town and we will show you our Ylang 23 hospitality. Can't come? No prob. We will be posting all we can online for your viewing pleasure, up close and personal.

Whoa Baby...I blinked and it's Done!

The elves must have worked all day and night and day and this glorious tree is now the centerpiece of Galleria's ice rink. Come to Dallas, and if you are this close to the tree, you are outside our door.

Say it Ain't So......

This would be the 95 foot Christmas tree installation which greeted me this morning and reminded me that there are only 55 shopping days left before Christmas (actually 54 because we are closed on Thanksgiving) and 30 days (yikes!) before Chanukah. Those guys teetering at the tip-top? Why they are placing the star, of course. Will keep you posted on progress...stay tuned. In the meantime, stay tuned for more holiday temptations pouring into our store.

Galleria Anniversary Party | Happy 25

It was amazing. We saw our good friend Cheryl Hall, with Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert, who was one of the honorees at Galleria's anniversary party. And yes, if you look to the edge of the food station, that's our Lauren checking out the chef's selections to enjoy in the store...yummmmmm.

Happy Birthday Galleria...

Our home for 22 years, Galleria celebrated 25 years with a blowout bash, and all we had to do was step outside our door to join the festivities.

Dallas is Par-tay City...

Yes, the valet parkers are everywhere, and lest you think it is all for fun, it is really for charity, this one being for a fave, Art for the Bridge to benefit The Bridge Breast Network, which is December 2 and 4. Just LOVED the globes hanging from the trees.

Halloween 2008...

From morning haircut (shown: colorist Eric, who caught the spirit) to my evening shift due to trunk show traffic (yes, Cathy Waterman's divine goodies), everyone was in a playful Halloween mood. Shown: our own store police officer Leo (helping out with mall trick or treaters.
