I bought the "Individual Portrait" by Livy Hitchcock in the Friends of VINP Auction. Livy and her husband Tom own Bajo del Sol gallery. I have a photo of my wife, Janie, on Deadman's Beach in the BVI, and I am going to ask that Livy paint this scene. I am excited because I am generally not this organized on my Christmas gifts!

I just called in my order.

Is anyone giving or getting that fantastic gold charm bracelet from the Sis Frank auction?

Thanks, Loria. I'm not always that good about gifts, but this one is working out out well, I think.

I haven't decided if I will give the following to Mr. PA or have him wrap it for me. (yes, I buy my own Christmas presents, after nearly 20 years together, it works for us)

1 pound of Kiss of the Jumbie coffe
1 pound of Grill Rub
New STJ Magazine

I ordered a couple of bottles of hot sauce that will go in his stocking.

I know I am getting a STJ gift - He already told me to plan on buying earrings during our upcoming trip. I think I want those Coral Bay Jewelers flower ones.

I got my early Christmas when we were there in October- It is a beautiful Eagle Ray pendant for Coral Bay Jeweler but there might be something else under the tree from STJ come Christmas morn! :wink:

I think I understand this correctly but please verify for yourselves...I believe Coral Bay Jewelers has closed their retail store and their inventory is now at Caravan Gallery.

My daughter and I gave ourselves a mom/daughter STJ gift when we were on island a couple weeks ago. We each got the large STJ coordinates charm from Bamboo Studio. We LOVE them! I've been sporting mine every day! I'm saving for the black Eagle Ray Pendant from Freebird when we go back in July! It's gorgeous!

PA Girl...I buy my own X-mas gifts too LOL. He still wraps them though.

Glad to hear I am not the only one! I just deposited a bunch of packages in his office for him and our son to wrap for me.

I got my grandson three new St. John t-shirts, each of my sons a t-shirt...
Daughter in law is getting the STJ coordinates silver charm from Bamboo Studio at Waterfront Village (I got the gold one while we were there). She should like that as my son proposed to her on STJ and she studied global positioning in college. They are also getting assorted other souvenirs & a driftwood ornament from Best of Both Worlds at Mongoose Junction. I wish I had picked up some spices, that would have made good gifts for my parents and in-laws! I'm also wishing I had bought some rum at the duty free store at the STT airport! Oh well, another reason we have to go again!

I got my husband new Beach Bar shirts from the new store, a new silk/silver petroglyph bracelet for my daughter from Bamboo Studios at Wharfside (check out their jewelry, gorgeous!), handpainted ornaments from Artwear by Diane for our friends, and of course Steve Simonsen calendars. Now if only I had gotten to purchase said gifts in person, I would have been much happier...but soon come![/list]

One of our good St.John buddies gave us a customized ornament! This year I made St.John X-mas cards. :)
