Joli Jewelry at "the hen"

Joli Jewelry by Jody Lyons, I'm totally inspired by her use of color and shape and how she puts things together in ways that I could never dream of! Every creation is fun, gorgeous and totally one-of-a-kind, and I'm in awe of the amazing vintage pieces included in her designs! Find incredible new Joli Jewelry at the french hen!

this is exciting!

The French Hen will be closing for a couple of weeks after Valentine's Day for a bit of a facelift. Just a freshen up, botox here, paint and spackle there. When we reopen in mid-March there will be a new logo for our signage, bags, wrapping and business cards. That's what I think I am most thrilled about...the new branding material. It will be nice to give the little hen a bit of attention, she is 5 years old this Valentine's Day after all. That's pretty old, especially when I think about it in terms of my childrens' years. My Danny-boy was 6 and Seamus was 7 and half when the doors first opened! Wow! Now at 11 and 13, life has changed - of course. As I recently read, the days may be long but the years are short when you are watching your children grow.

During the brief time that The French Hen will be closed, our Pandora jewelry will be temporarily housed right next door at Left Bank Gallery Essex for customer convenience. So the sale of Pandora will not be interupted in Essex, phew! It will give folks a chance to wander amidst the magic of 5000 square feet of art & soul.

Mom always said,"It's not polite to arrive empty handed to a party". Ditch the fruitcake and bring something that your host or hostess will really like...a piece of Mariposa. It's the modern answer to sterling silver; no tarnish, no polish and lots of sparkle. It's designed in Massachusetts and crafted from recycled aluminum in Mexico.












And for those hip chicks in your life...they want Tokyo Milk...
