Jen-eration

Jennifer. There are a lot of us. Although I love the way the name sounds, I’ve demanded to know from my mom on several occasions why she had to give me the same name as too many other girls (In the 4th or 5th grade, I tried to change my name to ‘Sunny’. Didn’t take.). She swears that most of us born in the early 70’s were named after Jennifer Cavalleri in Love Story.

Well, guess what? I just found out: I am part of a “Jen-eration”. Yes. Leading business publications to refer to us as “the jennifer demographic”. Sounds VERY important. A Cup of Jo and design sponge both spotlight a traveling show made up of 11 artists named Jennifer. The questions are asked: “Have members of this Jen-eration unknowingly grown into a common artistic sensibility? Have they become creators of culture in their own particular way?” I don’t know, but I like the way that sounds. Kind of makes me feel better about having to share my name with so many others!

how to describe…

Shecky’s Girls Night Out? Hmmmm… how to describe? Interesting. Good if you are looking to visit a weight loss booth (we weren’t), in the market for trucker hats (uhmmm...), or will be planning a bachelorette party in the near future (we’re not). I didn’t get to check anything off my ‘Wish List’. To be fair, we didn’t visit everyone. There may have been a few super cool booths. We did hear that the lia molly stuff was cute; we just didn’t make it over there. It became too crowded to maneuver and we decided to duck out early and go for Sushi.

I did like these earrings, however. They are made from 100% organic Brazilian grass.

Jewelry Design Inspiration: Bubbles

Posted by Gina
Saturday, February 28, 2009

I am currently obsessed with bubbles. It all started a few years ago when I walked into Mix, the fabulous Alain Ducasse restaurant above the Mandalay Bay hotel. Hanging from the soaring ceilings are hundreds of strands of beautiful glass bubbles. They immediately remind me of an art deco ceiling fixtures draped with crystals spheres. The result is breathtakingly cool. Ultra chic and yet sentimental. Who didn’t love blowing bubbles as a child?

Last week I met with my stonecutters in NYC. Discussing ideas for my jewelry line, Charmed Circle, the first thing that came to mind was beautiful, faceted spheres, in various colors of semi precious stones. Shiny, colorful, reflective bubbles. 

Yes! They all smile and nod. It can be done! Eureka!

The jewelry is in the works. Stay tuned to see if my inspiration comes to realization.

Chair-ished

I really love this chair. The Cherner® Armchair (1958).  When I was in the planning stages of my new house, I thought I would have the chance to finally acquire all my dream pieces. It’s amazing how fast you can fill an empty house. Now it’s a struggle to find a place for this beauty. I’m just going to have to make room!

Cherner® Armchair can be found at Design Within Reach
