It reminded me of the ESPY awards gifting suite where Lil' Mama picked up one of my necklaces in 2009. I said to my daugher, "She wears Lush Jewelry," as I do from time to time when we see a celeb on t.v. that owns one of my designs. I always think she'll get a kick out of it. She was obsessed with Lily Allen a few years ago who was the very first celeb to rock one of my designs. Then I remembered, I really needed to update my blog and finally share a few of the pics from the EMMY awards Fabuluxe gifting suite I did so long ago! So many celebs came through and they spent &lt;em&gt;a lot&lt;/em&gt; of time at my table. A few of them actually remembered Lush Jewelry from the ESPY awards. I hear we were a big hit there too though I did not personally attend. It's amazing to know that my designs stood out that much in their minds! Countless other celebs visited Lush Jewelry at the EMMY's. Though I did not receive all of the photos from the event, I did recieve emails from a some of the celebs, thanking me for their jewelry and I even received a photo of one on the red carpet wearing my ring!

Taylor and friend, actress Christie Lynn Smith, actress/comedienne Judy Tenuta, Morgan Fairchild's niece and more... &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Bxf9AWu-bws/TaIE4iE_2BI/AAAAAAAAAR8/cznodhUleVo/s1600/who12.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 228px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594039056414529554" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Bxf9AWu-bws/TaIE4iE_2BI/AAAAAAAAAR8/cznodhUleVo/s320/who12.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FqlECjMXfWk/TaIEzlD5D9I/AAAAAAAAAR0/QrpmqDeiB_U/s1600/showlady2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 272px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594038971315851218" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FqlECjMXfWk/TaIEzlD5D9I/AAAAAAAAAR0/QrpmqDeiB_U/s320/showlady2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H6Me53e279s/TaIEr5iao4I/AAAAAAAAARs/Q18TXMxsP94/s1600/mensuiutelady.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 235px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594038839373636482" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H6Me53e279s/TaIEr5iao4I/AAAAAAAAARs/Q18TXMxsP94/s320/mensuiutelady.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4sjO0S319HI/TaIEkWS04CI/AAAAAAAAARk/wy4U1tTEFYA/s1600/judyten1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 277px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594038709653921826" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4sjO0S319HI/TaIEkWS04CI/AAAAAAAAARk/wy4U1tTEFYA/s320/judyten1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1klTkrm-Im4/TaIEcaOZDjI/AAAAAAAAARc/DxWNqUH2Ln0/s1600/fairchild12.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 236px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594038573270109746" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1klTkrm-Im4/TaIEcaOZDjI/AAAAAAAAARc/DxWNqUH2Ln0/s320/fairchild12.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8t1f0LuYD0k/TaIETyAJYUI/AAAAAAAAARU/ntoTUWMNWPE/s1600/christinet.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 252px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594038425033990466" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8t1f0LuYD0k/TaIETyAJYUI/AAAAAAAAARU/ntoTUWMNWPE/s320/christinet.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LMkDbltPh6U/TaIEORJ824I/AAAAAAAAARM/oeH5zJmZHqQ/s1600/cindysman2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 191px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594038330317396866" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LMkDbltPh6U/TaIEORJ824I/AAAAAAAAARM/oeH5zJmZHqQ/s320/cindysman2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sqt3GpJouVA/TaIEEbP8FQI/AAAAAAAAARE/-5x5Ou0FiH8/s1600/chargernfriend2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594038161228174594" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sqt3GpJouVA/TaIEEbP8FQI/AAAAAAAAARE/-5x5Ou0FiH8/s320/chargernfriend2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KfW4RGJF_rw/TaID_-iNVMI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/UU2n-RSaRSc/s1600/2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 244px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594038084800697538" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KfW4RGJF_rw/TaID_-iNVMI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/UU2n-RSaRSc/s320/2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Not pictured: James Kyson Lee (Heroes), Jesse Camacho (Reno 911, Telemundo),Jon Huertas (Generation Kill, Castle), May Wang (90210, Cougartown), Christie Lynn Smith (General Hospital, Saving Grace, The Crazies), Romi Dames (Hannah Montana), Patrick Kilpatrick (Minority Report), RJ Mitte (Breaking Bad), Italia Ricci (Aaron Stone), John Salley (Best Damn Sports Show, Detroit Pistons, I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here), Chudney Ross (Young Hollywood, Inside Edition, daughter of Diana Ross), Lorielle New (Grindhouse, The Practice), Brian J.

(applause)  And after all that hard work, of course it's almost time to change it again.  (awwww)  No need to worry, Prostores assures me they are working night and day to correct their mistakes so that updating homepages will be as simple as it used to be. (woo hoo!)  And if that wasn't enough work, I decided it would be nice to stick a little badge on the homepage, to get more people to "like" Lush Jewelry on Facebook.  (that one only took an hour to figure out)  &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lush Jewelry on Facebook is updated regularly with loads of useful information and photos of what's ~NEW~ in all our San Diego boutiques.  It's a great way to see what's in store before making the trip out there!  So look over to the lefthand side of your screen and "like" us on Facebook, too!  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3004773488115797349-2074920761996283922?l=lushjewelry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3004773488115797349/posts/default/2074920761996283922'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3004773488115797349/posts/default/2074920761996283922'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lushjewelry.blogspot.com/2010/09/lookin-good.html' title='Lookin&apos; Good'/><author><name>yours truly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00082392152312615343</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hNK_HoeMqGU/TaI4QqfhHzI/AAAAAAAAASE/ttGIBOayZBU/s220/fthis.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004773488115797349.post-6235970233773744148</id><published>2010-08-14T10:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-14T11:06:41.975-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Handmade Jewelry Picks</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jNmF9216mnI/TGbaXKN0hSI/AAAAAAAAALs/LPINOkjadno/s1600/ngfkaylin.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 160px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jNmF9216mnI/TGbaXKN0hSI/AAAAAAAAALs/LPINOkjadno/s200/ngfkaylin.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505327685921178914" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ID necklace-14k gold filled chain with the name of your choice (up to 9 letters) and birthstone.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3004773488115797349-6235970233773744148?l=lushjewelry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3004773488115797349/posts/default/6235970233773744148'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3004773488115797349/posts/default/6235970233773744148'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lushjewelry.blogspot.com/2010/08/handmade-jewelry-picks.html' title='Handmade Jewelry Picks'/><author><name>yours truly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00082392152312615343</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hNK_HoeMqGU/TaI4QqfhHzI/AAAAAAAAASE/ttGIBOayZBU/s220/fthis.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jNmF9216mnI/TGbaXKN0hSI/AAAAAAAAALs/LPINOkjadno/s72-c/ngfkaylin.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004773488115797349.post-2803813104299584549</id><published>2010-08-14T10:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-14T10:58:52.888-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Web Hosting Disaster!</title><content type='html'>A recent system update has left me unable to edit the design of my website!

She offered to send me a disc with all Lush Jewelry photos on it, even though she totally was not obligated to!

I also like to go the complete opposite a lot of times so I'm also getting into some art deco inspired styles and vintage button post earrings.&lt;br /&gt;Many times, the pieces will be one of a kind, which works well with my consignment shops as they need new pieces monthly, but is very hard to keep up online.

The past year has been rough for everyone with the recession/depression digging it's heels in and refusing to let up.   I've had four stores close in the past year and I pray that there are no more.  It's really sad to see friends go and see the areas in San Diego that were so happening, Pacific Beach, Hillcrest, La Jolla, Downtown and Birdrock losing these extraordinary boutiques that made them such  great destinations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The passing of Michael Jackson, Patrick Swayze, Farrah Faucet, DJ AM, and now Brittany Murphy have been hard to handle as well.  This whole Tiger Woods controversy, my mother's health and the list goes on. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there are so many things I am grateful for, I am grateful that despite a few stores closing, my jewelry is still selling out, and despite the passing of some amazingly talented and genuinely good people, we still have their art, their memories and  lessons to be learned, and despite the fact that my mother's health is failing, and the doctors have given up, I just can not manage to give up.  I'm grateful for the fire that burns in me,  that just will not burn out.  I'm grateful that I refuse to give up and I'm grateful that things WILL  get better, because they always do.  Even if things are a little different than we're used to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I choose to look ahead, imagine the possibilities and begin to bring them to life.  Here's to saying so long to our woes and creating in the New Year - health, hope, positivity and prosperity!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3004773488115797349-3348426944035088773?l=lushjewelry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3004773488115797349/posts/default/3348426944035088773'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3004773488115797349/posts/default/3348426944035088773'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lushjewelry.blogspot.com/2009/12/looking-back.html' title='Looking Back'/><author><name>yours truly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00082392152312615343</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hNK_HoeMqGU/TaI4QqfhHzI/AAAAAAAAASE/ttGIBOayZBU/s220/fthis.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004773488115797349.post-2125541201042637394</id><published>2009-11-24T09:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-24T09:01:00.746-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Handmade Jewelry Picks</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jNmF9216mnI/Swtt8RF8T0I/AAAAAAAAAJE/2-ACZ-JhG5I/s1600/essqtztines.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 176px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jNmF9216mnI/Swtt8RF8T0I/AAAAAAAAAJE/2-ACZ-JhG5I/s200/essqtztines.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407536659736317762" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lushjewelry.com/servlet/the-514/Selita/Detail"&gt;Selita&lt;/a&gt;-Sterling silver teardrop shaped hoops lined with clear crystal quartz.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3004773488115797349-2125541201042637394?l=lushjewelry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3004773488115797349/posts/default/2125541201042637394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3004773488115797349/posts/default/2125541201042637394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lushjewelry.blogspot.com/2009/11/handmade-jewelry-picks.html' title='Handmade Jewelry Picks'/><author><name>yours truly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00082392152312615343</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hNK_HoeMqGU/TaI4QqfhHzI/AAAAAAAAASE/ttGIBOayZBU/s220/fthis.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jNmF9216mnI/Swtt8RF8T0I/AAAAAAAAAJE/2-ACZ-JhG5I/s72-c/essqtztines.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004773488115797349.post-7023199507858190098</id><published>2009-11-03T11:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-03T11:10:30.302-08:00</updated><title type='text'>And The Winners Are...</title><content type='html'>WOW!

If your jewelry has become tarnished or broken over time or if you've lost one earring and need a replacement, don't hesitate to shoot me an email. Usually things can be repaired for little or no cost, and if you bought it at a local boutique, you can bring it back to them rather than pay to ship it to me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:barbara@lushjewelry.com"&gt;barbara@lushjewelry.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3004773488115797349-8457880839221547124?l=lushjewelry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3004773488115797349/posts/default/8457880839221547124'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3004773488115797349/posts/default/8457880839221547124'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lushjewelry.blogspot.com/2008/10/repairs.html' title='Repairs'/><author><name>yours truly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00082392152312615343</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hNK_HoeMqGU/TaI4QqfhHzI/AAAAAAAAASE/ttGIBOayZBU/s220/fthis.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jNmF9216mnI/SQa97SSFoZI/AAAAAAAAACM/MkYqnuU84i4/s72-c/pliers.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004773488115797349.post-9172668700966426309</id><published>2008-10-26T16:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-28T00:26:15.775-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Holiday Shipping</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jNmF9216mnI/SQRWqf5aaAI/AAAAAAAAACE/K6EF8QoAizg/s1600-h/prioritymail.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261425552792381442" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 167px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 170px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jNmF9216mnI/SQRWqf5aaAI/AAAAAAAAACE/K6EF8QoAizg/s400/prioritymail.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Christmas is right around the corner!

Here are the basic "rules " you want to follow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;1.&lt;/span&gt; Do not shower or go swimming in your handmade jewelry designs. Take off rings and bracelets when washing your hands. Exposure to chlorine or salt water can permanently stain sterling silver and soap and water can cause gold filled jewelry to wear down quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;2.&lt;/span&gt; Remove jewelry before going to sleep at night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;3.&lt;/span&gt; Do not spray perfume directly on your jewelry and if applying lotion, wait for it to dry before putting jewelry back on. These products will tarnish your sterling and gold filled jewelry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;4.&lt;/span&gt; Store jewelry in an air tight container like a jewelry box or acid free plastic baggies to prevent tarnish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;5.&lt;/span&gt; Do not put jewelry in the bottom of your purse or bag to transport it. It will break.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;6.&lt;/span&gt; To remove tarnish from sterling silver and gold filled jewelry you can use a jewelry polishing cloth and gently wipe clean. Some dip cleaners work well but read the instructions first because they may damage certain types of stones. For brass pieces, Brasso works wonders! You can find it at Target or Wal Mart.   Ketchup works great on brass, too.

The lovely owner of Pure Boutique on University is happy to support local designers and she's been selling Lush Jewelry for almost a month now. This is store number 14 in San Diego (would've been 16 but two went out of business) My goal is to get into La Jolla and Little Italy by years end and sell to boutiques in other states SOON! I've really just been enjoying the ride and with a five year old and no nanny it get's difficult to do much more than this.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3004773488115797349-8753639916614192329?l=lushjewelry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3004773488115797349/posts/default/8753639916614192329'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3004773488115797349/posts/default/8753639916614192329'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lushjewelry.blogspot.com/2008/09/new-store.html' title='New Store'/><author><name>yours truly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00082392152312615343</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hNK_HoeMqGU/TaI4QqfhHzI/AAAAAAAAASE/ttGIBOayZBU/s220/fthis.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jNmF9216mnI/SNSePJhYX3I/AAAAAAAAAA8/QeG9-_CbB6k/s72-c/5.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004773488115797349.post-4619512881228977602</id><published>2008-09-18T22:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-19T14:05:13.907-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='handmade jewelry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='www.lushjewelry.com'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lush jewelry'/><title type='text'>Aww, My First Blog...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jNmF9216mnI/SNOPFA11ltI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ha9l5Hh0amE/s1600-h/untitled.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247695307104687826" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jNmF9216mnI/SNOPFA11ltI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ha9l5Hh0amE/s320/untitled.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here it is folks, my first attempt at blogging. Hopefully as time goes by, I will improve and be blogging the night away with the best of 'em! For my first post, I've chosen my own website &lt;a href="http://www.lushjewelry.com/"&gt;http://www.lushjewelry.com/&lt;/a&gt;. For those of you who've already seen it, you may have noticed a few changes over time. I have done every bit of the design myself (all self taught, mind you) and I keep finding things to tweak. Anyway, I hope you enjoy browsing it and remember, shipping is always FREE!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3004773488115797349-4619512881228977602?l=lushjewelry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3004773488115797349/posts/default/4619512881228977602'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3004773488115797349/posts/default/4619512881228977602'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lushjewelry.blogspot.com/2008/09/aww-my-first-blog.html' title='Aww, My First Blog...'/><author><name>yours truly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00082392152312615343</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hNK_HoeMqGU/TaI4QqfhHzI/AAAAAAAAASE/ttGIBOayZBU/s220/fthis.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jNmF9216mnI/SNOPFA11ltI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ha9l5Hh0amE/s72-c/untitled.bmp' height='72' width='72'/></entry></feed>
