Jewelry

[Judeye]

Well, as Kappy & NJG said, 8 of us took a LIMO from Penn Station to Judith's store.....which is the only way a Ripkanista should travel!!! That was just the beginning of a wonderful afternoon in Manhattan.....celebrating the pre-Christmas/Chanukkah season.

Judith's store was packed with not only the Ripkanistas, but her regulars. We even met a son that is NOT (can you imagine) in the jewelry/family business. Judith, Ron & her children are the most gracious families you will ever meet. Her sons are all handsome guys!!!

Judith herself had some amazing new coutre necklaces on.....so beautiful in fact, that Judith sold one right off her neck!!!!!

As NJG said, we were taking all kinds of pictures & had to sign a release....so, we are stars also!!!! OMG....Laura Geller came & visited with her son (such a cutie pie).....& we yelled out her name.....it was like meeting Hollywood stars!!!! Laura is so sweet & down-to-earth.

Talking about pictures....Jojo & her husband had given Judith pictures that were taken at the live audience show....which were just beautiful. They were immediately put on a credenza for everyone to see.

And let's not forget the food!!! Salmon, turkey, salad, finger foods, chocolate covered strawberries, tera mitzsu (or however you spell it), pecan pie, strawberry tart......champagne, wine, sparkling water, water, coffe......everything was just delicious...& since we were standing.....NO CALORIES!!!!

It was so much fun meeting new people & seeing "old" friends! Kappy & I kept telling Judith & her family, that because of her personality, which also comes across in her jewelry designs, & our love for her jewelry, that so many of us have had the opportunity to meet people we never would have & formed friendships.....not only here, but all over. It is truly an amazing thing.

And in closing.....I am happy to report, that this time I wore sneakers & my feet are fine!!!!!
