Enjoy The Holidays

Enjoy The Holidays!

From My Desk, By Patricia

I have designed the La Belle Femme Journal for the beautiful woman, those of us who are daring to claim our own wonderful, scrumptious adventurous spirit. Sometimes that essence is hidden away, similar to placing a precious gem with care and respect in a jewelry box. But we can access that beautiful energy. We can access our spirit. It is ours to wear, it is ours to even glow from inside to the outside world, where it can glisten and sparkle. When we enjoy the spontaineous joy and attractiveness of our spirits, we are pleasuring in being beautiful women.

Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes

(1884 - 1962) U.S. Diplomat & Reformer; Wife of Franklin Roosevelt; Niece of Theodore Roosevelt

A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water. Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art. Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't. Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world. Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people. I could not at any age be content to take my place in a corner by the fireside and simply look on. I think that somehow, we learn who we really are and then live with that decision. If someone betrays you once, it’s their fault; if they betray you twice, it’s your fault. It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself. Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both. Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself. Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life. One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else. The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience. You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do. No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.

Guadalupe Hinge Bracelet GUADALUPE HINGE BRACELET Our LadyGUADALUPE HINGE BRACELET Handmade by artist Alice Warder Seely, the eye-catching Guadalupe bracelet features an iconic image adapted from an 18th century wooden folk-art carving that stood in a small church in northern New Mexico. Seely's work is a wonderful celebration of women and their stories. She captures both history and culture in a style that is inspired by her rich heritage of Indian, Spanish, and Anglo-American. "The Virgin of Guadalupe is a feminist image," Seely says. "She is often taken to stand for a mother goddess, one who cares for children and people in need of help, and is popular with many people familiar with the patron saint of the 'New World.'" Handmade in New Mexico of lead-free pewter. $50.00 ITEM NUMBER: 17017MATERIALS: pewterNOTE: To clean use fine steel wool and rub the shiny part of the bracelet lightly in one direction. The bracelets can be rinsed in clear water.SIZE: 7" L x 1.5" W
