To say I love Fleetwood Mac would just be an understatement. They have a way of blending bittersweet sentiment with an realistic optimism. I can never turn them off when I hear them but lately I have been craving Ms. Nicks in the worst way, more specifically, the song "THE CHAIN".

This album was released in 1977 and as of 2007, it has sold over 30 MILLION copies. The band used their lyric, "Never break the chain." as a signature for the band. While I like that lyric, my favorite is, "Chains keep us together." I have been/am having mixed feelings about moving back to Connecticut. I have been in NJ since I was 18, who new 10 years would pass so quickly. But I am using my love for making jewelry and building my business as my motivation for making this move work for me. Chains can be cumbersome, holding you in one place, but they also can link you to your friends.

One of my long term goals is to actually be able to grow my hair this long, thick and big...only mine will be black. I'm sure you are now running to your record collection(yes I have this on LP) and if not, to the store to get this CD. Happy listening and love to Stevie.

I met my best friend Diana when I worked at a bead store in Princeton. We are best friends in about 5 min and still are 6 (or 7?) years later. She now lives with her husband Brian in Redbank with her 2 little punk rock Babies, Aurora and Malu.

Diana is an FIT grad and (surprise surprise!!) She has her own line!
Her company is called A BILLION HELLIONS. Checking out her site is a MUST. She makes some of the most kick ass creations I have ever seen.

LONG LIVE ROCK N'ROLL

So it is finally 2009....and February already! I have been working really hard on getting my whole collection on rutiglianodesign.com and it is coming slowly but surely. I am in the process of relocating to Connecticut again for a bit. This year I have promised myself to get back to the basics of what I really love about the jewelry business. I am really committed to making some new, wild , and expressive designs and to really working more effectively with my customers. So much of my ideas and inspirations comes from the music I listen to as well, so in my blogs I am going to start posting info about music I find and music that I am "into" at any given time.
