Naemeh's New Jewelry at Lily

Naemeh Shirazi's newest lace jewelry is now at Lily on Court Street in Brooklyn. Lily is a wonderful boutique on Court Street in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. The owner, Jennifer, sells beautiful dresses by Karina ( I own two and I love them both) and gorgeous leather bags, hip jewelry, stylish sportswear and super, warm socks. It is a fabulous shop and I am so happy Jennifer wants to try out Naemeh's new "Roses" earrings and necklaces.

Last summer Lily carried some silk screened skirts and a tunic by Ivette Urbaez. Jennifer thinks the skirts will go well again so maybe two of Stevie's Artisans will be available at Lily on Court Street.

Naemeh will do the earrings,necklaces and maybe some bracelets in spring colors, as well as her graphic red and black. Look for pink, kelly green, blue and yellow. And white!

A Chance Encounter

A couple of Sundays ago two friends (Sharon Fahlstrom & Vigdis Eriksen) and I were on our way to see an exhibition at the New Museum on the Bowery when I had one of those great chance moments. You might even call it a New York moment. I was half way down the stairs to the Borough Hall subway station when I saw a flash of one of Ivette Urbaez's silk screen designs going by. "She's wearing one of Ivette's dresses. I need a picture," I shouted to my friends.

Vigdis whipped out her camera while I ran down the street to stop the girl and beg her to pose for a photo. After I caught up with her, I blathered on about Stevie's Artisans - my company - I represent the artist who designed the dress she was wearing, etc.

Her look was very cool. She was wearing Ivette's racer back tunic/dress: gray cotton with a black abstract silk screen print of fire escapes. She had accessorized with a cotton scarf and she was wearing sneakers with electric green laces.

She was totally happy to let me take a few photos because she said she absolutely loved the dress, loved how well it fit and was amazed because she always had such a hard time buying dresses. She told me she also loves the shop where she made her purchase - Lily on Court Street in Brooklyn.

She was so gracious and I forgot to ask her name. So I thanked the mystery Ivette fan and then we all went on our ways. A very serendipitous chance encounter!
