  jewelry. I mean, it's just amazing. Where did
you get all this stuff?</p>
<p><strong>Adrienne: </strong> Well, all over actually. I like to
  travel. I tend to travel a lot as does most of
  my family, so whenever I travel somewhere I
  like to pick up something to remind me of the place that I visited,
  and the easiest thing to do is to pick up a small piece of jewelry
  instead of getting a poster or a t-shirt that won't last. I like the idea
  of having something small and also, I find whenever I wear
  jewelry that I bought somewhere interesting, it's a good
  conversation piece. Usually people ask you,  &amp; quot; Where did you get
  this? &amp; quot; and I then have a story to tell and it's a good way to meet
  and talk to people. It's just interesting, so I have jewelry that I
  picked up when I travelled to Greece and when I travelled to
  Thailand and when I travelled to Africa and when I've travelled in
  Europe. Everywhere I've gone I picked up some small piece, a
  ring, a bracelet, a pendant, something and sometimes I even just
pick up a bead or something that I make a necklace out of later.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> So you said that you picked something up in Thailand.
What did you buy in Thailand?</p>
<p><strong>Adrienne: </strong>Oh, in Thailand it's really cool. There's... I went to
  some of the islands in Thailand that are actually well-known for
  having this interesting white shell, and I can't remember the name
  of it, but they call it, Shiva, something Shiva-eye, I think, but
  anyway it's white on one side with a spiral, and then on the other
  side it's a beautiful, usually green, brown or orange kind of mix of
  color, and so you can wear it either as the dark green shell or you
  can wear it as the white, with the spiral or the Shiva ..eye?... I
  can't think if that's right, anyway, so I bought a pendant that has
this and then I made a bead necklace to hang it off of.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> Cool!</p>
<p><strong>Adrienne: </strong>Yeah, it's really, it really is cool and I get a lot of
compliments on it.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> So, what else have you got?</p>
<p><strong>Adrienne: </strong>Well, let's see. I picked up, when I was in Greece, I picked up a very interesting piece of glass jewelry. It's green - bright, bright green - really light color, like lime almost, and it was made by a jeweler who lived on the island of Crete where I visited
and it was such a unique looking piece and part of the reason it's so unique is it's a green disc and in the center he inserted a piece of gold - fourteen carat gold, and so it gives the green... the green shines through the glass when you wear it. It's very interesting looking piece.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> Wow! Sounds nice. You'll have to show it to me.</p>
<p><strong>Adrienne: </strong>Yeah. I'd love to.</p></div>]]>
