cursive customers part 2

Sometimes my customers don't want their faces to be shown in a blog so I figured that taking a photo of something they are wearing or that they have designed was a neat way to describe them them in this blog. So here goes...

This wire art is made by Sonny. He created this piece using round-nose pliers while on the bus from Providence, RI to NYC. He said it took him approx an hour or so. I used to make jewerly using round-nose pliers when travelling on planes but now pliers would be considered a weapon.

Misty is owned by Michelle. Michelle, her daughter Juliette and Misty came into ABC yesterday afternoon to say hello. Michelle always says hello to Alicia, a salesperson in ABC's jewelry dept and Donald, a salesperson on the main floor, and then us at Cursive. We know Michelle from when she bought a Jeanine Payer necklace from us.

This bright colored sweater belongs to Chloe who was walking around with a woman. I said hello to her and she peered through an opening between the jewerly and the curiosities cabinet when I captured this photo of her. It is a cute photo of her but the sweater really caught my eye. I love all the colors and the toggle closures.

Other customers don't mind having their photo taken and appearing on this blog such as Clare and her mother Valerie who was visiting from Alabama. Clare is an art director at a trade publication.

a still life of a european style ceramic soap or potpourri cannister from ABC with a white sand "barbell" hourglass and the mini black sand hourglass from Cursive. A woman had just bought the cannister and was wondering if she bought the hourglasses whether the still life in her bathroom would look overdone. Customers Leslie and Marlene (see below), annie, mk (manager of cursive), michael (one of the owners of cursive) and a mother & daughter all chimed in with their two cents. The woman finally did buy the two hourglasses (along with the mother & daughter who bought two hourglasses) and it turned out to be a fun conversation that transpired into lots of laughter too!

a john hardy ring worn by marlene. i worked with john hardy in the early 90's and can spot his work a mile away. it is fun for me to see his collection grow just by the pieces that customers are wearing...

Trying on Jeanine Payer's 18K Harlow necklace with the Viva Necklace.

Marlene and Leslie were at the Jeanine Payer case and we got to talking. This photo was taken right before they left Cursive. Marlene bought the beautiful Viva necklace of Jeanine's.

this embroidery design was about 3.5" tall and surrounded the bottom part of a short herringbone patterned outer jacket worn by a woman from Colorado. The woman had designed the pattern herself and bought it through Icelandic something (sorry, I cannot remember the website)... The front placket was trimmed in fur.
