Lookie lookie what I got!

This is my Xmas gift from hubby: DianaKirkpatrick.com- Art You Can Wear

One of a kind, made by Diana Kirkpatrick, "Chandra" from the original "Chandra's Dance Emporium." Diana is retired from dancing and costuming, but is now making fine art jewelry. Her stuff is fabulous!

Re: Lookie lookie what I got!

Absolutely stunning necklace!
Let's hear it for husbands with good taste! YAY!!!

Mine has been wondering if he has to "top" last year's birthday/Christmas present (a most excellent boombox complete with professional mike and mike stand - which has been getting quite a bit of use during the last half of this year).

Re: Lookie lookie what I got!

Whats the matter with a flat screen tv? Other than the fact that the gift for you is really...for him.

I'm getting a sword and a tye-dyed 25 yard skirt.

Diana did a trunk show at a Thanksgiving open house our studio director had. I saw the necklace on her display the moment I walked into the room and never looked at anything else. Showed to hubby and he felt it was way too much $$$. So I bought some gold scarab earrings for myself and discovered that Diana had put a 15% off next purchase coupon in the bag. So armed with that hubby said yes. So the next weekend we were at a dance workshop and Diana had her jewelry displayed. But the necklace was not there. I asked if someone had bought it and she pulled it out from under the table where she was saving it for me. Yeah!!!!

I love Pampered Chef. Particular favorites are the baking stones--makes the best pizza crust in the world--and the kitchen shears. The shears will actually double as a can opener if need be.

Check out the stuff on Diana's website: Diana Kirkpatrick- Art you can Wear She has some really nice one of a kind pieces.

Re: Lookie lookie what I got!

That is great! I guess that necklace was meant for You! Funny how things work out. I got lucky too, my husband just bought all the Pampered Chef stuff for the general household and put it all out on the counter this morning. That means I have a chance of getting something more fun!

So did your husband go to a Pampered Chef party? That is how I've got mine--fellow dancers hosting PC parties. Mine would never ever think of buying any kitchen goodies unless he saw something for the grill.

Maybe its the idea, i might cook!!! my top 3 most favorite items though...the garlic press, vegetable peeler and the bamboo tongs to get my toast out of the toaster without burning my hands!! i had to limit myself to the top 3 cuz i love all the items i get.

Re: Lookie lookie what I got!

Oh, I almost forgot another favorite Pampered Chef item--the microwave steamer cookware. Super fast way to cook veggies. I think it is the best steamer I have ever used. And I also use the cooking spatulas all the time too. And the garlic press. And the egg slicer which I actually use to slice strawberries and mozarella cheese more than hardboiled eggs. Oh and the rotary grater with attachable containers. Next I want stone baking dishes. Can't wait until the next Pampered Chef party!

Alrana,

I think it is like Mary Kay cosmetics. You purchase through a distributor. Sometimes people will host parties where the distributor introduces you to the product. Or you could just order directly from the distributor. I would have never bought any Pampered Chef if I hadn't been invited to a party. The distributor prepared food for us using the products and the Pampered Chef recipes. I was impressed with the things they had that really solved some problems and did a better job of it than anything else I had. So I bought some. Then the next time I had an invite to a party I had a better idea of what I wanted to buy. A lot easier than hunting around in stores trying to find things.

Just checked their website. You can also order online. The Pampered Chef, Ltd.

Re: Lookie lookie what I got!

I have a friend who is a distributor and has many people who host parties. My husband went to a party because her boyfriend decided to show her how well a Man could do hosting a party. My husband was the only one who showed up - but he spent so much it was a successful party anyway! It is wonderful quality stuff - the price is high - but it is really nice. You can find alot on ebay - alot of older items that have been replaced by newer styles - save a little money.

Sorry that Pampered Chef has kinda taken over your lovely necklace thread. - Not my intention.
