“Victoria Montesinos was born in Mexico City to a renowned Mexican movie director Fernando A. Rivero. By 1983 she relocated from Mexico to the U.S. to create lithographs after she was contracted by one of the largest galleries in the U.S. While Montesinos was working in New York she had the opportunity to work with acclaimed surrealist painter Leonora Carrington, which was highly educational for her. Despite her success in the United States, Montesinos made a decision to return to Mexico. While home her style evolved to include oil paintings and serigraphs on textile. When she returned to the U.S. in the 90 s she made a decision to paint flowers primarily. I really wanted to explore and go inside their world, find all the textures, layers and passages of just one flower. They are small universes and I feel captured by their beauty. Flowers are an incredible way for nature to show the infinity of existing colors.”

I was going to write my own description of this great Sheaffer pen in our online jewelry auction, but the auction itself has a much better description. I’ve included that description in the quotes below.

The auction reads, “Since 1912 The Sheaffer was founded by Walter A. Sheaffer We look to the abundant future, by redefining the fashion of written communication in our technological world. You have a signature. And Sheaffer gives you the power to show the world what it is. This Limited Edition is beautifully packaged in gift box and comes with the manual and warranty.

There is Mr. Coffee, and then there is Sparkle Pink Essenza, the Swarovski crystal encrusted coffee maker by Nespresso. It is a matter of how bright you would like your mornings to be. And if you are not quick about it, this limited edition of 100 will soon be gone.

“This Sparkle Pink Essenza espresso machine is a limited edition with only 100 available for purchase. If pink isn’t your thing, there is also a Brilliant Black version. Both are available at Nespresso Boutique Bar on Madison Avenue in New York for $1000.”
