"Kermit was wrong"

Kermit the frog always said that it wasn't easy being green. Well I am here to
tell you exactly the opposite! You can be very, very green; very, very easily.

They report that the City of Seattle leads the nation in recycling efforts, and a hearty congratulations to all of us. Glass bottles, plastic containers, newspapers, even all of those coffee cups that our fair city is famous for.
We recycle it all.

Now, during these unique times, we can recycle our jewelry.

No, no…you don't need to head down to First Avenue to visit a pawn shop or search the internet for someone trustworthy. With accurate, calibrated equipment I will consult with you to give you an honest, fair price for your old and tired treasures. All in the comfort and privacy of my beautiful salon. Or, how about trade towards a new "work of art", possibly something from one of the country's hottest designers, Toby Pomeroy? His fantastic designs are wrought in recycled metals. You may have seen him on the Today Show or in Oprah's Magazine.

This really is the time to recycle, as globally, metals prices have reached levels of all-time highs. Three times the price per ounce than it was 10 years ago! It is great to be green, and I think it is also OK to put a little jingle in your pocket as a reward for it, or better yet, donate it to one of your favorite "Green" charities.

                                           Happy Spring,

PS: While we are on the subject of GREEN---I have great news. Even though we have loved our time in the Joshua Green Building, it is time to move on and move up. They have decided to renovate this glorious old building, so we seized this opportunity to move our salon a block away to a bigger, better and more beautiful environment. We are very excited and will keep you posted with all the coming details of this summertime move!!
