I have a couple of Wirkkala's ceramic pieces, the Kingfisher and Pollo vases, and we've had a number of his Ultima Thule glass pieces and his vases for Rosenthal in our store, but I don't have any of his jewelry. Don't think for a second that I don't aspire to owning a piece or two. I would love to have a Half Moon or Viking pendant. In fact, they're on my "Things to Buy Before I Die" Pinterest board.

Happy birthday Dana! I hope you do score one of those exquisite jewelry pieces as a gift to yourself.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, it is also World Typewriter Day today. (:
Boy, is my face red! I had originally scheduled this post for June 27 (my REAL birthday), but I did some moving around of posts and forgot what I said in my first sentence.
DeleteThanks for the birthday wishes. You're off the hook for the 27th! :)
Happy Birthday Dana! have a wonderful day and I hope one day you get hold of one of these exquisite pieces of jewellery - I didn't know anything about Wirkkala jewellery - what superb pieces!
ReplyDeleteWirkkala was such a multi-talented designer. I'd love to have one of his pieces of jewelry. Sorry for the premature birthday announcement as a result of rescheduling posts. It's really the 27th, but consider your good wishes moved forward a few days. :)
DeleteHappy Birthday to one of my favorite bloggers!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the birthday wishes, even if I did move some posts around and announce it a few days early. :)
DeleteHappy Birthday, Dana!
ReplyDeleteConsider your birthday wishes the equivalent of a post-dated check. I'll cash them on the 27th, and next time I'll read over my posts before I reschedule them. :)
