My new sales item is my adorable pomegranate peace-sign necklace in silver and garnet. Check it out … the pendant really is a pomegranate AND a peace sign! Two great things for the price of one.<\/p>\n

You’re going to be impressed by how solid this piece is. People are always surprised by the heft because they expect a pendant like this to be a wimpy little thing, but you know that WendyB don’t play that game!<\/p>\n

I made three pomegranate peace-sign pendants in gold and three in silver. The gold ones are sold out. Once the silver pieces are gone, I will not make any more of this style, so it’s now or never, just like the genie (now gone)<\/a> and the wolf necklaces (two left)<\/a>. I want to put all my resources into the many fantastic new designs I have planned, so a lot of past-season pieces need to go. I’ll be putting even more great jewelry on sale soon. To keep up to date, you can always check out the sale page here<\/a>, but it’s better to follow me on Facebook<\/a>, because I announce new sale items there first.<\/p>\n

Speaking of fruit, after I posted a 1996 photo of myself wearing a cherry-print sateen dress,<\/a> I noticed a similar print on several designs in Macy’s Marilyn Monroe juniors collection<\/a>. Those of you who can squeeze into juniors sizes might like the trench jacket.<\/p>\n

There is also a peplum top<\/a> and a dress<\/a>. Just be prepared for a lot of reaction. There’s something about cherry prints that makes dudes crazy. That’s why I had to get rid of my ’90s dress — it was causing too many traffic accidents. I kid. The real reason I got rid of the dress was because it never fit perfectly due to bad pre-Jean-of-Ghost-Tailor<\/a> tailoring. At a certain point, I couldn’t put up with imperfect fit anymore. But I did once, honest-to-God, cause a fender-bender when a guy in a car became hypnotized by the cherry-print dress as I walked down the sidewalk. Most of the time, it wasn’t that much of a safety hazard, though I did grow accustomed to men yelling, “Hey, cherry dress!” as they drove by.<\/p>\n
