Having spent a good portion of my childhood on a subtropical island, I found winters in New York unbearably cold when I went to college. Frozen fingers and slipping on icy sidewalks were never really my thing! But if there's one thing I always look forward to in the winter, it's the opportunity to lavish gifts on my loved ones. Now that I run my own jewelry business, I'm busier than ever during the holidays, and this means I end up finding the best gifts at the shows I'm a part of! So come join me in the Bay Area and see the marvelous gifts you can find for your friends and families. 11/28 Tis the Season Tuesday @ Intel (In-House Event) Santa Clara November 28th, 2017 10 am - 3pm Intel Headquarters 2200 Mission College Blvd. Santa Clara, CA 95054 11/30 Wunderfaire at IDEO San Francisco "Wunderfaire is back for its 9th year!
