THE MAIL BAG – Random Useful Interesting Info & Events
July 10, 2012
by HughE Dillon
I get a lot of mail, and a lot of
requests for me to post the press releases of parties, trunk shows,
announcements, jewelery sales etc. I never really made it a practice as I
get so many requests, but I do try and put as many as possible on Twitter with
a link. I’ll continue to do that, but sometimes if I think something is really
interesting, I’ll post something everyday at 3PM for you to check out.
(sometimes i’ll include a random photo, not today I don’t have time.)

They will be listed once, well
unless they’re advertisers or people who have hired me in the past 30 days or in
the future 30 days, I’ll list those events ad nauseam.
