I love the stories - I love the memories of the color - everyone seems to have reached back as far as they can remember - many going back to their grandmothers jewelry box, or the color of their first house, or family trips through the Southwest, or the sight of the Pacific Ocean for the first time. It's not even fair to have to pick the best story or even the one that captures the color turquoise the most vividly. Maybe the memories are the best prize of all. BUT....if I have to choose just two (since I have two kits left)...I choose Robin Thomas for being able to remember how she felt at three years old posing in a studio in a blue velvet dress; and Dorylyn Thomas for telling the story of how she used to sit next to a fancy guest at Thanksgiving and hold her hand just so she could closely inspect the beautiful blue trinkets dangling from her arm. I related to so many of the stories - especially these two - they both spoke of how the color turquoise left an impression at an early age - and how they never forgot the feeling. To the two Thomas gals - please send me your address and we'll send off a bracelet kit to each of you. Merci!

Yay! Congratulations ladies!
I am humbled. I am a fan. Also this is a thrill I especially can enjoy after a long, dark and sad winter. Thank you Kaari Meng. A thousand thank yous...
Oh, how I have always dreamed of wearing that bracelet...and now I can! Thank you so, so much, Kaari! Thank you!
Yea! I cannot wait to see the bracelet on your arm, Robin!
My mother, who is 83 years young and has a superb sense of style, has always favored turquoise over any other color. She says turquoise has more life in it, and I have to agree! I've kept my turquoise and silver jewelry purchased back in the 1970's and it still looks fabulous today.
