Catalog Shopping!

We have Beta Sigma Phi Gifts to handle merchandise for us. Still, I enjoy seeing businesses who have yellow roses, strawberries, and other Beta-friendly things in unexpected places.

Honeychile, I just love that violet tea set. I'm not an ADPi, but violets remind me so much of my late mom, who was a hybridizer of African violets up until her untimely death in 1990. She would have loved it, too.

Thanks for pointing it out!

The Ross-Simon's online catalog (www.jewelry.ross-simons.com) has a LOT of "greek" type items in their clearance department! It's huge, so I'd suggest that you chose to show 60 items per page or you'll be all night. Among the things I saw were:

-a crystal Penguin
-Killarney Rose(s)
-jeweled lion box
-lilies
-hearts
-butterflies
-a <> diamond of diamonds rings
-a ladybug frame (page 25)
-a sterling urn/vase with lion "door knocker" handles
-turtles
-magnolias
-leopards
-and a lot more that I missed

There's jewelry, china, silver, crystal gift items and more. I tried to select items at fairly reasonable prices (about $9-$500), and they go from Hermes to Mikasa to Waterford to Spode to ??? Some of these pieces are one of a kind, and are absolutely exquisite!
