As usual, the end of July marks a very busy time for me at Citrine.  I take advantage of things being a bit quiet in town, and my girls away at camp, to re-assess the store and my designers, plan for Fall and Holiday, etc.  I am pleased to report that this July has been a big success for me in this regard and I cannot wait for Fall!  I am going to be hosting a few more trunk shows, starting in October, because I feel they are so important to both my customers and designers.  Over the years, I have seen my designers develop true friendships with customers and I want more of you to have this opportunity.  I also identified the need  to bring in a new designer and  found it in Adel Chefridi! At several of the past shows, I have been eyeing his gorgeous, delicate pieces and decided he would be a perfect fit.  He is tentatively scheduled to come to Citrine on December 9th and 10th for a trunk show, so mark your calendars!  Been hearing a lot about Jamie Wolf recently (after she danced in "Black Swan" and designed Natalie Portman's ring)?  I have always been a BIG fan of her line and am looking forward to the arrival of her new pieces.  Is your favorite Joseph Murray, Ray Griffiths, Stephanie Albertson, Erica Molinari or Suzy Landa?  Got it covered...wait til you see what is coming!  I expect a lot of new jewelry in September and then will begin the process (as quickly as possible), of adding them to my site. So, stay tuned and enjoy the rest of Summer.  I am taking a much needed break before the hectic pace of Fall sets in.
