Least we forget there is a cultural difference, and of course a language barrier! Funny story: We stopped at this cafe for something cold to drink, it was a very hot muggy evening. We asked the waitress to make iced tea from English Breakfast tea. She nodded agreement and repeated the order. We waited so long we began to wonder if they were growing the tea leaves. Suddenly the waitress appeared with a "full english breakfast"...fried eggs, bacon, toast and grilled tomatoes!
I bought this amazing Hill Tribe jacket on the street. Handmade with incredible details both back and front. It was expensive... $60!!! It is not for sale
Cooking breakfast at home will never be the same. Each morning we were greeted by this lovely smiling woman. She knew we liked our coffee hot and strong. She always brought me a beautifully ripe mango with homemade yogurt. The cook prepared Allan perfect 4 minute eggs. And fresh squeezed watermellon juice... all included in the cost of the hotel room!
I know you're thinking... Not more rings! But, yes I couldn't resist this one. It is very contempory, light weight and looks great. I bought 6 pieces, $75. I sent it to Sue at the shop yesterday. Sooo, the good sizes go fast call her today toll free 877-435-6444. Or check out our entire collection at http://www.dforsythpearls.com/ or drop by the shop at 1136 Loma Ave. ste 203, Coronado, Ca.
Ten years ago my husband and I traveled to Vietnam for a vacation. I met some of the women trying to do business there and decided to try to help them via the Grameen Bank micro loan program. For the past ten years I've donated money and as well as employing women in Hanoi to make pearl jewelry for my customers.
Since then I've traveled to Laos, Cambodia, England, France, Turkey, Nepal,Thailand,Mexico and Greece to buy exotic one-of-a-kind jewelry.
Annually I return to Turkey and Thailand to buy gemstone jewelry.
I recently began designing my own line of jewelry using unusual gemstones to fashion beautifully designed pieces.
At 63 I have found my passion and the Universe just keeps giving me more blessings.
Three years ago, after setting up booths at women's fundraisers for six years, I opened a jewlery store in Coronado, California. And though I sell much more than pearls, the name d Forsythe Pearls remains!
