A must have for bead lovers
A beautifully done & informative book. I've enjoyed all of Jargstorf's books & feel they are an important contribution in an area where so few substantive works are available. This holds even more true with regards to beads of Bohemian origin...If you are interested in beads in general, it's recommended; beads of bohemian & czech origin, it's essential reading.

Bohemian Heritage Delight
To further my passion for beautiful well made vintage jewelry I looked for books to help me. Realising that the Bohemian style was an inspiration, I searched for any books suitable. This book filled every need and interest. The photos are beautiful with many full family histories and photos of the makers and the often tragic end to the Bohemian dynasties because of wars.I use my book constantly and have gained so much from the detailed descriptions, the families and the great variation in the Bohemian glass industry, both jewelry and other glass objects. I certainly recommend this book.

Product Description

For 500 years, the world's greatest makers of costume jewelry have hidden, anonymous, in the heart of Europe: Gablonz, Bohemia. This groundbreaking, beautiful book exposes the jewels, craftsmanship, technological development, and history of Bohemia. Almost 400 gorgeous color photographs illustrate the area's artistry, its most significant designers and manufacturers and their contributions to the art of jewelry, button, and bead making. Bohemian glass dynasties lasted for centuries, until the middle of the 20th century, when the entire community of German-stock craftsmen was expelled from the area in the turbulence of World War II. Though Gablonz will forever feel the loss of these great craftsmen, their artistry has been meticulously researched and documented by Sibylle Jargstorf for this book. Top to learn more

Abundant Creativity
Baubles, Buttons and Beads begins, "This book deals with the production of jewelry ("bijouterie") and other glass trinkets in the town of Gablonz and its outskirts". Nothing in this rather pedestrian introduction prepares the reader for the exposition of the incredible creativity of this industry that follows.Gablonz (present day Jablonec in the Czech Republic) was a town in the formerly German speaking northern fringe of Bohemia. The author describes the history of how it became a center of the glass making industry. We learn how "daring glass making pioneers" developed revolutionary methods of production that opened up new and unique product design possibilities. The glass makers worked in close cooperation with the area's metal working craftsmen to realize their ideas. The isolation of the industry from the markets of the goods required the involvement of versatile and innovative merchants to complete the supply chain. The glass makers, metal workers and merchants...

Great read!
I don't believe in soul mates. That's why I read novels like Ann Montclair's. She brings romance and passion to this story and her characters. Handsome billionaire David and independent, funny Sloane take us on the wild ride of love. I enjoyed every minute of reading this book. Montclair makes you believe that your soul mate is out there and that love this strong exists. I can't wait for more books by her!

Product Description

Determined to land an executive position at Grant Oil, Sloane Porter, an educated, independent woman with goals for the future, refuses to consider the option of returning to her home in New York and the life she'd left behind. But when she arrives in the CEO's office with a stellar resume in hand, can she ignore the fact that in a moment of weakness, she’d kissed this man in a Fairbanks bar two years earlier? Can she remain indifferent and land the job, or will the man who has haunted her dreams steal her heart and change her life forever? Top to learn more

A really fun read
Ms. Montclair has created a book that is fun and engaging, with characters who are memorable. Sloane is stubborn and proud, and determined to live her life on her own terms. David is alpha male billionaire, a man accustomed to getting what he wants--or taking it if he has to. And with that stubborn pride, up against a man who takes what he wants, sparks are bound to fly. And they do!The Billionaire's Bauble is a fun read for anyone who enjoys contemporary romance with plenty of sparks, good sensuality, and characters you could genuinely fall for.

Swingin' Perfection
The Kirby Stone Four were one of the most popular vocal groups of the late 1950's and early 1960's. Their television appearances and live performances combined music and comedy in a way never seen before and their recordings combined instruments and voices in a way never heard before - what one reviewer called "indescribable...because it's a "feel"...an emotion...rather than a specific set of notes".Congratulations to Collectables Records for re-releasing the group's debut Columbia album "Baubles, Bangles and Beads" (1958) on CD, in glorious stereo. The Kirby Stone Four (Kirby Stone, Eddie Hall, Larry Foster and Michael Gardner), working with conductor / arranger Jimmy Carroll, a group of top New York musicians and a versatile female chorus, took eleven standards, plus 'Lady Love Me', written by Stone and transformed them, both lyrically and musically, into a dozen works of vocal art. The results sound as fresh and original today as when...

Forerunner of modern day Pop/Rock music.
The Kirby Stone Four,four messengers sent before Pop music and Rock music was even born to give notice to everyone of the approach of Pop music and Rock music to others.These 4 guys and gals never knew it at the time but they were one of the first Pop/Rock bands of the 1950's.They took the song,"Baubles,Bangles and Beads" to number 30 on the hits chart in 1958.However due to radio station politics at the time,this song was probably shunned from the airwaves on many radio stations because of its "different" sound and should have climbed higher on the charts.I honestly believe if this song was re-released by the KS4 today it would climb to number 1 on the Pop charts...the song is that good and sounds even better today than it did back in 1958.The lyrics,"Ring jing a ling,ring jing a ling will be in your head all day after you listen to this song in stereo.The women who sang on this album received no credit but they too are members of The Kirby Stone Four,along with the Four members of...

WOW! They were fabulous!!!
If you remember the 1950's and The Ed Sullivan Show...you probably remember seeing this group on Ed's Show very often. The recording is clean and clear, technically great! The Jimmy Carroll arrangements are ahead of their time. When you hear "Baubles, Bangles And Beads" it puts you on a mono roller-coaster back to 1957. In fact, practically every cut on this cd is a "Pop Music" classic. If you've never heard The Kirby Stone Four, here's your chance and they were at their best on this debut album first released in 1957 on Columbia...Thanks to the folks at COLLECTABLES for the great re-issue.

Essie Bobbing for Baubles is a dark smoky blue with slight grey tones creme nail polish color. From the Essie Winter 2011 Collection. Top to learn more

Not as impressed
As Essie colors appear lighter in the bottle than when they've dried on your nails, I wasn't sure if Cocktail Bling would be gray or purple. I purchased it, tried it, and was quite pleased at first, as it appeared light purple. But this is one of those *funny* colors that seems to change a lot depending on the lighting. Sometimes it looks light purple, sometimes it looks more blue, other times it seems to be an odd pale bluish gray. I really wanted to like this but I much rather a polish with a more reliable and discernable color.Bobbing for Baubles, on the other hand, is a very nice shade of navy blue. I was worried that it would dry too dark, but am pleased to report it didn't. I really like it but think it looks better on shorter nails. Of the 2 colors I liked enough to buy from the winter 2011 collection this was the definite winner. Unlike Mezmerised [sic] which looks better on light skin tones, Bobbing for Baubles looks just as beautiful on darker shades of brown...

great neutral
Brooch the Subject is a very nice neutral, that goes perfectly with my fair skin. I got many compliments at work on this color, and I think it will be a regular color for me. I also have Size Matters from this collection, and it's a really great red, but it seems to get darker the longer I wear it, like the brightness is fading. I've continued to wear it though, as it's a fun holiday color.

Love Essie, Confused About the Color
I bought this color because it looks gray in the bottle (and Essie even describes it as gray), but it changes from grayish blue to grayish purple to gray depending on the lighting. A little disappointing because I've been dying to find a great gray but I'll have to keep on looking.
