Passing Love by Jacqueline E. Luckett - This story takes place in the years of and after World War II in Mississippi and Paris. I love that the main character is 56 years old, and that she gets the news of her life when she decides to finally follow a long-held dream to visit Paris. The author has written the book so that the back story is also the front story which is about a girl in her 20s. Sometimes the writing and words were not to my taste, but the author's style is sincere. In any case the story and characters put this book front and center as a must read. Per the quote on the book's cover...."C'est Magnifique!"
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
