Michell Obama Loves the Hope Earrings !

-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
