    It’s time to celebrate Halloween here at the VFG! This year, we are featuring everyone’s favorite costume—costume jewelry!! Members show off their favorite vintage jewelry pieces with a Halloween twist: spiders and spider webs, cats, bats, bugs and other creepy creatures, and jewels in shades of orange, black, or purple. Also, any vintage or antique jewelry items that are costume-oriented: Egyptian Revival, Victorian or Victorian Revival, etc. Let’s celebrate the best “dress-up” holiday in vintage style!

    *please note,participation is for trade members only*

    According to one legend, Kwan Yin, who is often referred to as the female Buddha, was a beautiful Indian princess who forsook marriage and the good life to live in a convent in order to become a truly enlightened human being, or bodhisattva. By turning her back on a life of luxury and seeking out spiritual enlightenment, her life story is similar in theme to that of the historical Buddha, Prince Siddhartha Gautama. Both individuals eventually became thoroughly enlightened and compassionate spiritual beings, who sought to alleviate mankind's sufferings. Talk about more joy in Tushita Heaven!

    After having achieved enlightenment and the right to enter Buddhist Heaven or Nirvana, legend has it that at Heaven's gates Kwan Yin heard the despairing cry of someone back on earth. Upon hearing that sad cry, she quickly returned to the earthly plane, and vowed to stay there to help all those who suffer achieve the same level of enlightenment that she had, so that they too could enter Nirvana. Kwan Yin's name means "The one who hears the cries of the world."

    I'm looking for a piece of bat jewelry -- pendant, ring, broach to wear this Halloween -- not too expensive. Anyone have any?
