Dear Friends,
My suitcase is almost packed.
Passport. Check.
Loupe. Check.
Comfy shoes for walking the Antwerp Diamond District. Definitely check.
But there's something else coming with me this year that means far more.
Your stories!
✦ Inside My Antwerp Notebook ✦
Inside my Antwerp notebook are names.
A couple getting ready to start their life together.
An anniversary.
A long-awaited upgrade.
A woman buying something extraordinary simply because she's worked hard and can.
And beside those stories are scribbled notes:
"She loves elongated ovals."
"Sparkle matters more than the grade."
"Don't sacrifice size."
"This one has to be REALLY special."
✦ The Search Is About to Begin ✦
Soon, those notes are getting on an airplane with me.
And somewhere thousands of miles away are the diamonds I'm hoping to match with them.
I can't wait to show you what I find! ✨
P.S. I can probably squeeze one or two last diamond missions into my notebook. If you've been meaning to tell me what to look for, today's the day.
