Book Signing Very Successful

On June 15th I was the guest of gallery owner Marlene Vitanza at her beautiful shop in a suburb of Santa Barbara: Montecito. The event went off with out a hitch and we were flooded with Paparazzi. Santa Barbara magazine as well as '805' and The Montecito News were there to cover the unveiling of a spectacular Bakelite Collection being offered by my hostess. Not to name drop but Julia Roberts snuck in to pick up a few bangles. The theme of course was Patriotic to celebrate my book: WWII Bakelite Jewelry: Love and Victory", which documents my collection of Patriotic Vintage Bakelite Jewelry. The collection will be displayed at The National WWII Museum in New Orleans as well as other venues in the future. I am very happy with the positive response the book has recieved. Among them: "The most beautiful Bakelite Book Yet!" Thank you I had so much fun designing it. I also want to thank my photographer Nijme Rinaldi-Nunn and photographer/Artist/Model Leslie Collum for their contributions as well as great friend Maija Beeton for her expertise in special effects and graphic art. Anyway, you can buy a signed copy at TheNational WWII Museum in New Orleans or their online bookstore. LOVE! Bambi, Bakelite Lady of New Orleans...come visit!
