Julie
Organist, pianist, librarian / interests, animals, photography, and international affairs
I love classical and folk music from around the world. I am presently employed as a church organist, and I enjoy playing sacred music by Bach, Handel, Pachelbel, Franck and many others.
I was born near Leeds, Yorkshire, England, and have lived in Germany, Austria and various parts of the United States, such as Boston, Seattle, and now Redmond. I have three children and three grandchildren. My husband and I loved traveling to South Korea, the Holy Land, Jordan, Turkey, and Costa Rica.
What I like most about Novica:
The items I have ordered, such as jewelry, shawls, pillow covers, a wall hanging of an elephant, instruments, and apparel, are all beautifully crafted and are very special to me. I have given jewelry and shawls to family members who have been delighted with the gifts. I love supporting artisans around the world and knowing about their individual lives.

For several months our home has been graced with the beautiful rayon wall hanging, "Sacred Life." The depiction of elephants is the most sensitive and life-like I have ever seen. Every day I admire this hanging and think about the talented artist who made it. Thank you, Thanachai.

Sukanya's beautiful ring, in garnet and marcasite, arrived this week. It is called 'Ardent Lover' and I am delighted to be able to have such an exquisite work of art. The garnet gleams from the middle of the sparkling marcasite stones, and the shape of the ring looks lovely on my finger.

The Natural flower gold stickpin, "Everlasting Red" is exquisite. It is as delicate and intricate as a flower is, and yet it is as strong and firm as a stickpin should be. The hues of ruby red and crimson glisten with touches of gold. My family and friends admire this pin and are amazed at its beauty.
