The word "Gossamer" evokes images of fairies, dragonflies and butterflies; things that are shimmery and lovely.

WHO IS CHERI?

I am a jewelry artisan who truly enjoys making lovely things. My philosophy of life can be summed up paraphrasing Ilanya.  "My one purpose for being on this planet is to awaken my god self and celebrate life and to do what brings me joy." I revel in the fact that "it beats having to work for a living!"

ABOUT MY JEWELRY

I use genuine Austrian crystals that add luminescence to your ensemble. Fresh water pearls add a touch of elegance to your formal wear. All metal components are sterling silver or gold filled unless otherwise specified.

I am always on the lookout for new and interesting jewelry components. I want each piece to be as interesting as the individual wearing it. Many of my pieces are one of a kind. All items are available by custom order only. This ensures that you get exactly what you want, in the color you want and in the size that suits you best.

Just One of Those Things
by Cole Porter

It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things

It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things

If we'd thought a bit before the end of it
When we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot not to cool down

So good-bye, dear, and amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things

"Just One of Those Things" was recorded by Ella Fitzgerald in 1956 (my personal favorite). It was also recorded by Sarah Vaughn, Dianna Krall, Rosemary Clooney, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Bryan Ferry and many others.
