As many of you know I still call Pittsburgh, PA my home, even though I have been living in Charlotte, North Carolina for the past 2 years. Well I am heading back to my old stomping grounds for the weekend with my bestest Meghan Trainor in tow to see my brother Andy off to Australia for his study abroad semester. I am very jealous that he will be living on the beach for the next 5 months! Anyways, I am really excited about this trip as I will be spending some quality time with Mommy and Daddy Miller as well as my other best friend from the Burgh, Lauren Rapetti. We have some really exciting plans for the weekend including a trip to one of my favorite bead stores The Bead Mine, down on the South Side as well as a shopping day out to Shady Side. Plus lots of fun times at night hopping around the great city of Pittsburgh. My mom was busy hustlin’ some of my jewelry around my dad’s office this past weekend so I am very excited to see what people bought. I always love to learn what type of jewelry people are interested in! Thanks to Kelly for being one of my best customers!!
The only sad thing is that unfortunately I won’t get to see my baby sister Emily this weekend. She is busy at PSU volunteering at the biggest event on campus “THON.” I hope all your hard work pays off this weekend Emily! I will miss you :*(
I’m sure we will have a blast in Steelers Country. I will be sure to keep everyone up to date on any of the great bead and jewelry items that I find! Till next Time~Krissy
Last night was the Guys and Dolls Auction and things could not have gone better or been more fun. Laura looked beautiful in her green dress and matching earrings. She was auctioned off for $1400 to her boyfriend Brian. The night was so much fun because my friends were so into the auction in fact two other people at our table went shopping at the auction and actually won! Meghan was one of the winners and her date package came with all kinds of fun things like a massage and free membership to the YMCA and tickets to a Wake Forest NC State Game. The jewelry that I donated for the silent auction had some bids on it and went for over $100, so that made me really happy. But the most important part was that a lot of money was raised for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Laura is going to be the Co-Chair of the event next year and she is trying to talk me into volunteering to be auctioned off. I think it would be a lot of fun, so we will see net year. Once I figure out how to upload pictures to this blog I will show off some of the fabulous jewelry and fashions of the night. All in all it was a really great evening!
My Friend Laura Vossberg is one of the lovely ladies being auctioned off in the February 16th Guys and Dolls Auction event. Laura and all of the other Bachelors and Bachelorettes have been working hard to raise money and awareness for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. If you are lucky enough to bid high enough on one of bachelors or bachelorettes you will not only get a date with one of the most eligible bachelor or bachelorette, but you could also win sporting event tickets, trips to locations across the country, luxury spa treatments or a beautiful set of jewelry from my collection!!! I will be donating a pair of earrings to Laura Vossberg’s Date Package along with the jewels she will be wearing for the evening. But if you don’t want to bid to win a date with Laura, I will also be donating a matching earring and necklace set to the silent auction. I will post pictures when they are all finished. But if you are attending the Special event on February 16, 2008 then make sure you check out the Designs by Krissy Jewelry donation.
