The Ice Cream Queen of Orchard Street by Susan Jane Gilman - The story of Malka Treynovsky Bialystoker Lillian Dunkle from her very first memories to the time she spends with her 18 year old grandson. It's a fabulous good old fashioned rags-to-riches tale of the low times, the high times, dreams coming true and dreams falling through. My only fault with the book is the poor choice of cover art which you will only understand if you read the book. Good picture, but it doesn't represent Lillian. Read the book and you'll see why. She's difficult to picture, but she's very honest about how she looks. Her honesty about who she is comes through in her trademark expressions. First they annoyed me, then they were fun, and finally they were comforting. You'll see.
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.
