Thank you! Yes, this is my backyard, which we had to fence, as everyone wants to get in.
We had to reject the hats that were on hand, as not quite having the look we'd have wished for, and we managed to somehow forget the gloves.
The limitation here, I feel, is my camera, in not having an auto shutter (or whatever that feature is called), in tandem with my limited photography skills. My neighbor was a full fledged professional high fashion model in the 80's, with much amazing work to her credit. As frequently happens lately, I was frustrated with my camera, as I could see the beautiful poses flashing by, and was only able to capture a fraction, of what she was giving me. She is a brilliant model, in my opinion.
You are absolutely correct, in the suggestion you make.
Karin, thank you.
Linn, you are off and running! Have a great time! I know the jewelry is your true passion, and I look forward to your report of the show.
