      Ahh- it's so sweet! Actually this is my favourite of your brooches! (I say that at seeing every one of your brooches!) Elephants are such great creatures anyway they make wonderful artistic pieces like this.

      Ken my friend it's fantastic to hear from you, I have totally missed you!! Thank you so much for the great compliment, when I saw this I really thought the baby elephant was adorable also :) Everyone here truly misses you, we loved all your gorgeous posts & wonderful warm comments. Stay well & pls come back soon - luv always Jenni

      Thanks MrsT, I know, this was just an accidental find because the co. is new to me too, although I did recognize the name from fine clothing. Hoping that Mary can tell us more! Lovely compliment, really appreciate it

      Many thanks for the kind love

      Thanks Mary for the super info about St John, I am psyched now to find more of their jewelry. What a dream job you had, I always wanted to be a journalist

      Many thanks iggy for the love and appreciation, glad you liked my mom & baby Dumbos

      Mary I love your last comment about working at the paper, may I keep it you didn't swear, will remove though if you ask again - you are so talented with doing graphic art, newspaper writing AND editing, super cool! And I love that the publisher would take you guys for a drink once a wk, occasionally I had a generous employer who would treat to buying lunch, after work drinks etc. Though my main 'career' was medical typist-transcriptionist, in early days I did a lot of temp work, doing receptionist and secretarial work at all sorts of co's, law offices, travel agencies, even for the racetrack investigators where FBI agents would stop by and we did reports of unlawful activities like horse doping, race fixing etc. When you're young you have a short attention span, I loved 'jumping around' lol
      About St John, I think they were just snooty, in the ads she (or her model) had a nose in the air type look :)

      Mary you and I have had some amazing work experiences, they were scary at the time but don't they make good stories for our friends now lol! Don't worry I would not have written about the mob either - once I was a temp sec'y in a construction trailer, was so terrified picked up my handbag at lunch & took off :)

      Thanks ho2 for the love, it's always greatly appreciated and is very nice of you
