Yes!

On my visit to see Sarah several years ago, I ended up spending several hours going through a couple of her "seconds" bags of Japanese kasumi, picking out a few pearls to buy. I love them so. Such fun. Since then I have gotten several Kasumi pendants, a Kasumi keshi necklace (a prize piece!), and a stunning Kasumi bracelet.

Something will catch your eye, I'm sure. Looking forward to seeing your report. :))

I'm thinking of the ladies and hope they are having a great time! I hope traffic was light. (Ha! As if.)

The day was perfect for the Bay Area and the traffic was bad so we were almost an hour late. Loved Sarah's new studio and all of her pearls. MZ and Sheri joined us for several hours with lots of ooohs and aahs.

We could hear laughter from inside as we got close to the door and we knocked....
Sarah opened the door and we all squealed like pearl pigs. Sorry again, fuzzy photo, we were so excited to get in the focus was not on our radar.

We had been looking at a special necklace on Facebook and it was a good surprise to see Sarah's co-worker wearing it.

This is even better in person. The pearls and the checkerboard faceted gem are TDF.
