JOYEUX NOEL & BONNE ANNEE

Et voilà! This newsletter is late! But you know style has its reasons, and we were waiting for one missing piece for the jewelry of the month to be perfect: when you will discover it, you will understand why I could not settle for less! And by the way: yes, the jewelry you see here is made every month for this online boutique only and there is only one of each piece. Unique, literally.

Now let's get deeper. As it is a traditional time for good resolutions, let's consider all the promises we made to ourselves since we are kids. Take one hour, sit down with a paper and dig in your bag of 31 st of December memories. Write down the list. Cross out what you already accomplished. Now what? Is it too late to get a diploma? To go to a yoga class? To have fun? To love? Not enough time or money? Really?

Think twice. It is your life you are drawing every day and you have only one at a time. Make a wish. Unique, literally!

Thank you again for all your support, Love & Blessings,
Catherine Grison

On a symbolic side, the black ribbons, besides being uber fashionable this winter (everything in Parisian boutiques is black), support also the flowing communication, black being the color of the water element. A powerful symbol for the emperors, the chrysanthemum represents also purity, longevity and immortality and adds the touch of color that gives life and youth to the composition.

The Caresse Choker:  All the vintage fun and the magic of the season in one hip yet simple necklace, like a kiss on the neck.

This piece of jewelry has been designed and handmade in California exclusively for my boutique. I will empower it for you. It is a one of a kind item. Once it is purchased, it will not be made again.

In response to present-day confusion and uneasiness, Evelyne Consorti draws on the balance and harmony embodied in the ancient Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui. Juxtaposing the serenity of the meditating Buddha with the quiet strength of bamboo or the vivacity of Koi fish in the tranquility of pond waters, Evelyne's paintings suggest the enduring presence of the natural world and the reassuring wisdom of the higher spirit. Through numerous coats of transparencies and collages of ritual Chinese paper, delicate variations of hues at times blend with, and at times nearly submerge the subject in her abstract works as well as in her more figurative pieces. The effect is a graceful and refined combination of color, balance and symbol, evoking inner sources of strength. Evelyne Consorti is a French artist based in the San Francisco Peninsula.

Your French Accent's Insight:
KOI FISH is not only the typical symbolic enhancer for your career and your finances through the swimming fish symbol but also a very sophisticated addition to your art collection. At a still very reasonable price.
