Name:

Lynne Murray

 
About: Looking forward to my new earrings and necklace.  The mermaid motif is "me".   I have a mermaid bathroom.  My husband just shrugs it off.  I'm a pisces (water sign), so he knows he has to go with the flow.  Not a manly bathroom by any means, but it's fun.  Since I was a little girl, I wanted to be a mermaid.  I've been on swim teams since I was 7.  All through grammer school, high school and college.  In college I was on the Synchronized Swim team also.  I love synchronized swimming.  I'll be in the pool all day tomorrow.  I'm 57 and I can still do a "ballet leg" effortlessly.  It's my passion.

I will wear my new Estrin creation often and I already know who I'll will it to.  This cancer will kill me in less than a year, but until that time, I live each day doing and being with things and people I care about.  I love my life.  Like the movie, It's a wonderful life.

Comments about BijouGraphique Jewelry:

Wore my Aphrodite earrings to a wedding in California when I met another gal who had a different Dawn Estrin creation dangling from her ears.  She was so impressed that was wearing Estrin’s earrings.  Had a long conversation about the uniqueness of Dawn’s jewelry line.

A good way to meet people is the start of a wonderful piece of jewelry.

Comments about BijouGraphique Jewelry:
I discovered Bijou Graphique at the Ann Arbor Art Fair in 2007. Each summer I look forward to selecting my annual purchase and can't wait to see what's new. Imagine my delight when I saw your latest creation...pet tags. My three pound Yorkshire Terrier, Lucy, will look so cute with one of your pieces jingling from her collar. I can't wait!!
