Hi my friends,

This past Sunday, I flew down to South Florida to my parent’s house and had the ultimate Sunday Funday.  I called my mom last week and told her I had some BIG shows coming up on July 25th where I would be introducing our first ever JAI TSV along with several new designs. I asked her if we could invite my sister-in-laws and a couple of close family friends to come over and see the new designs, try them on, and offer me their feedback.

That was on a Wednesday, by Friday she called me and said that some of her girlfriends at her nail salon  read on our JAI Johnhardy for QVC Facebook page about the party and wanted to know if they could join. Within a matter of days, we had gone from an intimate group of friends, to well over 25 ladies including my elementary school teacher.

An hour into the party, I was able to get all the ladies to gather in the living room and I did a brief presentation on the new designs. Afterwards, everyone gathered around the dining room table where the jewelry was displayed and started trying the pieces on. I loved how once one of the ladies would see the piece on another lady, she would say;  ‘Oh, I didn’t see that one, let me try that one on’ or ‘Oh, you totally need to get that, it looks amazing on you’.

About an hour later, everyone was sitting back in the living room wearing all the different pieces and catching up on their kids, grand kids, and deciding which pieces they wanted to buy come Thursday.

When I asked everyone if they had a favorite design, one of my mom’s friends said, ‘Scott, that is like asking us to choose a favorite child… you just can’t do it’.  In the end, the same designs my friends 7 year old daughter loved were the same designs that my Mom fell in love with.  The versatility of the designs, the quality of the craftsmanship, and the classic silhouettes made each of our designs a favorite.  It was great to hear that no matter their lifestyle, each of them felt the designs were something that they could wear every day.

One of the pieces that really stood out was our TSV. They loved the design and its versatility.  Each of the ladies said it was a piece they could see themselves wearing all the time.  They loved that it came with the leather necklace and a choice of beads. When I showed them how the leather necklace or the beads could be worn as a double wrap bracelet when not worn with the slide pendant, they got even more excited.

We had the best time. What better way to spend the day then surrounded by great friends, amazing food, and gorgeous jewelry.  It was great to share with friends and family my passion.

 Please enjoy some snap shots from our Sunday Funday.  I look forward to seeing each of you for our upcoming JAI shows and introducing all the new designs.  Please tune in July 25^th: midnight – 2am, 11am-noon, 3pm, and 6-8pm to hear all the new inspirations and see all of our new designs.

Please leave your questions about the TSV and any piece within the JAI John Hardy line.  I will be answering your questions throughout the day, all day on Thursday.

Safe Travels,

Scott Grimes
