Michell Obama Loves the Hope Earrings !
06//08
-Besides taking the opportunity to tell you how much
I love your jewelry, I have a cool story to share
with you. Last weekend Michelle Obama made a surprise
stop at the campaign office in Eugene before she met
up with Barack's motorcade to head up to the
history-making Portland Waterfront rally. Meeting her
in person was a gift I'll always remember. Anyway, I
had been wearing my "HOPE" earrings daily for about a
month in advance of the Oregon primary, so of course
I was wearing them when I spoke with Michelle. After
I introduced myself to her, she noticed my earrings,
looked at them closely and commented that they were
beautiful, and that she hadn't seen them before! We
then got to talking about the importance of quality
early childhood programs (I'm a preschool teacher)
and she signed my copy of Dreams From My Father. I
then moved back to allow another volunteer to speak
with her and approached one of her staff about how to
send gifts to Michelle. I got the info and came home
and ordered some earrings from you, which arrived
promptly. Thanks for that, by the way. You are
awesome! I'm planning to send her a pair of "HOPE"
earrings, with one of the cards you included with my
order, placed in the package. I just wanted to let
you know. - Jeanne
