The necklace tie works pretty well, but for the most part my scarves go on sabbatical until late October. I hate it but, that's life, and I love pulling them out and wearing them again come fall.<br /><br />The new pendant on cord will probably be worn every day until the scarves can come out and play again. I'm just so glad that MT designed it for us! Thank you, MT.<br /><br />A happy week to all (we actually have sun here today.

It's just too sticky, icky and the lusterous silk twill fabric doesn't go well w/ my lightweight madras cottons and linens. <br /><br />But!<br /><br />Ohhhh, your pendant is on a cotton chord--comfortable in summer. Genius MaiTai, I tell ya, pure genius!<br /><br />btw, if it matters, my "vote" is for just stay the same as you are and thank you for showing us what is possible (i.e., I'm perfectly happy camper w/ as few or as many silks you choose to model for us...but honestly, for summer, I prefer the cotton chord pendants and cooler-around-the-neck items)<br /><br />xoxo<br />sammieSammie Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058523355630639992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529262281526104323.post-9694952240839286932015-04-18T16:56:16.401+02:002015-04-18T16:56:16.401+02:00Oh yes!

Thanks for your generou...Oh dearest most kind Lea,<br /><br />Thanks for your generous thoughts and kind words. Means alot to me...but I must say, the words come naturally from MaiTai's work.<br /><br />You are so spot-on about the simplicity speaking for itself. Sort of the 'zen' of good design, bcuz simple lines/shapes cannot hide flaws of any kind. Simplicity is "all exposed" for what it is, and that is not easy to accomplish in any walk of life or product. <br /><br />Also, another point that I adore about this necklace--the smooth curves all around. No sharp corners or edges. <br /><br />It just *looks* so soft and pleasant to touch, even in the photos.<br /><br />Gaaaaaa...<br /><br />and dear Lea, I'm sorry the green shoe search came up 'extinct species' !!! I think there's a reason manufacturers don't make shoes in this color...but our MaiTai has shown us how to style them w/ her GENIUS style sheets. <br /><br />if you happen to come upon something green/aqua/blue or the like, or heck, forget the shoes, if you are still open to joining our kooky green shoe capades, pls reconsider, sans shoes, but w/ everything else in mind/heart. We're not picky about the inclusion of each and every piece; we just want everyone to have fun and enjoy what our wonderful, genius leader Tai has presented to us. That's really the point - enjoy and have fun. <br /><br />I'm still trying to rope Jerrine into this too, so if you get to 'talk' w/ her, please nudge her into our green style sheet challenge too !<br /><br />(hear that Jerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! you're in the GreenShoeHouse!!!)<br /><br />xoxo<br />sammieSammie Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058523355630639992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529262281526104323.post-73940769557698708972015-04-17T14:31:50.548+02:002015-04-17T14:31:50.548+02:00Sigh . . . and, I'm always trying to calm down...Sigh . . . and, I'm always trying to calm down the "oomph."<br /><br />Happy weekend to you and all the Swans,<br />JerrineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529262281526104323.post-15685396980641989812015-04-16T21:40:43.084+02:002015-04-16T21:40:43.084+02:00Too funny...we seem to be passing in cyberspace a ...Too funny...we seem to be passing in cyberspace a lot lately;-)<br />Our seasons here are so darned mixed up,I am not sure what to call them!<br />Would you believe I have always longed for a little frizz to give my hair some oomph?<br />Happy Thursday hug,<br />T xxTrudyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00967743037457007381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529262281526104323.post-1991895475045281522015-04-16T19:58:32.522+02:002015-04-16T19:58:32.522+02:00Sammie, may I say "thank you" for expres...Sammie, may I say "thank you" for expressing my thoughts in right words?<br />That's true - the necklaces are special for their special and thoroughly studied details.<br />It makes them different and special.<br /><br />All the things which are not "complicated" but are perfect in details and craftmanship are so special.
