Brooches and pins are slowly making their comeback in
today's fashion in an array of sensational designs. In
the past, bold and big brooches were the perfect
accessory to add a touch of elegance and
sophistication to an evening or even day look, and
draw attention to a part of the body they were placed
on. Many may think that brooches are outdated, but
there are a dazzling variety of designs that are
coming out this season to choose from that are hip,
fun, and unique to the wearer.
"I really like to wear brooches to accentuate my
outfit. I often wear a turquoise-enameled 18 karat
yellow gold dragonfly brooch on my lapel with a lady
bug pin to accent it. They are a great conversation
piece everytime I wear them. I think brooches are
classic and timeless and really draw my outfits
together," Kimberly Hardge says, jewelry expert at
BIDZ.COM.
Brooches are an ideal way to add a personalized touch
to your look. They don't have to be gaudy, over-sized,
shiny and dated. A butterfly pin with jewels, or a
tiny flower design done with richly colored enamel
clipped on your shoulder, or even set on a cloth
handbag, are both excellent places where they can be
seen. A terrific brooch set in the center of a
V-neckline is a unique and daring way to add sparkle
and color to your ensemble. Anywhere you place the
brooch, it will surely get attention!
Initial jewelry is still going strong this season, so
a graceful letter brooch would be a fun and
fashionable item that would add a splash of style that
says something about you. Brooches are also a great
way to tie off a scarf. Pin your scarf with a
beautiful brooch for a classic look!
Brooches are often heirlooms, passed down from
generation to generation, giving them a meaning and an
air of old-world elegance. If you have one, bring it
out! Pin it to a simple dress or pantsuit for a
stunning fashion statement, giving this treasured item
of the past a new significance, updating it with
today's apparel.
Brooches used to be a thing of the past, but not
anymore! Choose one that represents you and
compliments your wardrobe. Brooches are versatile and
can be worn on a casual day or a big night out!
Either way, they are a simple, easy way to accessorize
and add a distinct touch.

BRITISH INVASION! DYSON DC07 VACUUM CLEANERS NOW REACH THE USA!!!
The top selling vacuum cleaner in 47 countries worldwide are finally available in the US. Britain's James Dyson built more than
5,000 prototype vacuums in an effort to develop his patented Root Cyclone™ Technology - the first and only vacuum technology to keep
your vacuum cleaner from losing suction. Testing shows that Dyson vacuum cleaners have double the suction after only 10 ounces of dust.
Vacuum cleaner bags quickly clog with the dust and debris sucked into the vacuum. As this dust builds up, the airflow suction drops
rapidly - this means your vacuum is not sucking up the dirt. Dyson vacuums collect the finest particles of dust (microscopic particles
as small as cigarette smoke) without clogging.
Later, manufacturers started to admit that bags reduced suction, and then tried to jump on the bandwagon to produce `bagless' vacuums,
but these also clogged just like a bag vacuum. Meanwhile 60% of people were buying a Dyson because it was recommended to them. Determined
to create vacuums with even higher suction, the cyclonics team set to work developing an entirely new type of cyclone system. They
discovered that spreading higher airflow through many cyclones generated even higher suction power, which picked up more dust from the
floor. Hence the Root Cyclone™ was created.
The Root Cyclone™ Technology of the Dyson DC07 series vacuums is the latest generation in high/constant suction power. The centrifugal
force and more cyclones give even higher suction power. High volumes of air are spread simultaneously through many cyclones to give higher
constant suction power - which means you pick up even more dust. Dirty air enters the outer cyclone which spins out the larger dust and
dirt particles. The shroud is a vital dust and fluff separator. Even greater centrifugal forces in the inner cyclone remove more
microscopic particles Root Cyclone™ technology removes more fine dust from the airflow than any other bag or 'bagless' system, so the
filters don't clog.
Allergy and asthma sufferers - help is here! All four models of the Dyson DC07 vacuum cleaners not only pick up far more dust and microscopic
particles than any other vacuum cleaner made, they also have two features essential for your health. First, the no-clog HEPA filter is
designed to hospital-level parameters with a surface area of 416in2 and is designed to retain the highest levels of microscopic dust
particles and allergens.
Reduce illness! The second feature of the Dyson DC07 vacuum cleaner series that is proven to assist with allergies, asthma and the
reduction of airborne bacteria is the Bactisafe™ screen nested into the HEPA filter. Bacteria, mold and allergens live in your
carpet and removing them can help relieve the symptoms of asthma and allergies.
Dyson's Bactisafe™ screen traps and kills bacteria, mold and allergens on contact, preventing them from re-entering the air.
Multiple Ease-of Use Features! The Dyson DC07 vacuums ALL include the following features:
Quick draw hose: Just press the catch and the 17ft hose is ready to use
Hygienic and quick to empty: You don't have to touch the dust, just pull the trigger
No extra costs: There are no bags to buy and the filters are so efficient they last for the lifetime of the machine
Edge cleaning whiskers: DCO7's suction is channeled up to the edges of the cleaner head. The whiskers are angled out to reach down between the baseboard and the floor, flicking dust directly into the airflow
High-Velocity airflow tools: Conventional tools can "suck up" carpets or curtains. This stops them from cleaning effectively and can make them hard work to use. The channels on the DCO7 tools direct the air down into the carpet pile. This has two main advantages: 1) You pick up more because the directional force of the air agitates and dislodges dust and 2) The airflow is continuous even when vacuuming curtains or upholstery, preventing them from becoming stuck to the tools.
Tough Construction: Made from the strongest materials, used in the manufacture of crash helmets, cars and pipelines
2 year warranty (3 years on the Dyson DC07 Full Gear)
The Dyson DC07 Red also includes:
Floor Tool: Easy cleaning in awkward areas. The Dyson-engineered floor tool quickly attaches to the reversible wand for easy cleaning under low furniture and in confined areas. For all floor types
The Dyson DC07 Animal (purple) has all the above features along with:
Animal Turbo Tool: The air-powered brushbar effectively removes pet hair by brushing hair and fibers out of carpet pile and upholstery and into the constant Dyson suction
Carpet Care Kit: Zorb powder absorbs dirt from your carpets and freshens the room. Dysolv spray quickly removes spills and marks such as grease, food and soil
The Dyson DC07 Full GearP (green) also adds:
Extended Warranty: All of the components of DCO7 have been extensively tested for durability and reliability in Dyson's in-house testing facility.
Dyson vacuum cleaners are warranted for a period of two years from date of purchase. 2 year limited warranty. Plus 1 year extra, free with DCO7 Full Gear
ONLY available through independent Dealers! This model is currently back-ordered but we will bring it to bidz.com sometime in April!
Alexander Chen, an ordinary man with an extraordinary vision and talent, was born in Canton China in 1952. Alexander began
drawing as a child developing his craft as he moved through the many changes that came into his life. At age 16, he moved
to the countryside where for the next four years he worked as a farmer, all the while continuing to record in his art the
world as it evolved before him. Then for six years he worked for an on the road theater, painting stage backgrounds.
At age 26 Alexander found himself once again in Canton, but this time as a student at the art schools and colleges where he
continued his studies in art. While in art school, he met a fellow student who would later become his wife. Much had changed
for this city born artist who for so many years lived as a country bumpkin.
Alexander’s appreciation for both worlds gave him the broader dimensions visually and emotionally to translate into his
paintings -- the heart and soul of city life – as well as capturing the creator’s genius that so evident in the beautiful
countryside and magnificent mountains.
In 1989 Alexander and his wife immigrated to America where he quickly translated his love for the United States into paintings
that reflect deep feelings for our bustling cities and our beautiful countryside and national parks.
Many of these images have been used by companies such as; Toshiba Electric, Northwest Airlines and Shin Nippon Co (Japan).
Many others are used as calendars, jigsaw puzzles, book illustrations and other retail products.
Alexander’s paintings successfully capture perspectives others miss or cannot see. He spends as much as two months to complete
many of his major works, all of which become, part of his “Collectible Memories” series. These are gifts to his adopted land,
things of beauty to be shared by all in appreciation of being given the opportunity to live a life he could only have
dreamed of as a child.
