Frillz

“Cry Me a River” Necklace

This piece, entitled "Cry Me a River," was created exclusively by Nancy and The Kitties for this auction, as the plight of the animals in Cedar Rapids makes us all feel like crying. In this necklace, Nancy has included muddy, murky one-of-a-kind new and vintage beads; sticks and stones, flotsam and jetsam; pearl and crystal teardrops. But there is hope here, too. The sterling silver chain also boasts some semi-precious stone hearts, a flower or two peeking out of the mud, and a guardian angel. Look carefully and you will find a doggy footprint and a little black cat. These fuzzy friends so appreciate your generosity in the face of their most difficult times.

"Cry Me a River" is 46" in length; designed to be worn as one long chain or doubled to prettily fill a neckline. It will remind you always that one caring person can make a huge difference. Please, dig deep.

RETAIL VALUE:     $100

About Frillz...

The glorious Nancy tells her story of how Frillz came to be: 

“The Kitties and I decided to create jewelry a few years ago, when I discovered their unique talents. It was a beautiful spring morning. I was sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee, some silver and some beads that I had collected in Indonesia. Violet, Dewi and Bes began to arrange bits and pieces carefully on the kitchen floor. I stared in amazement, then worked up some of their suggested projects. I knew immediately that we were onto something.

As the Kitties acquired tools and accouterments we moved from the crowded kitchen table to a real studio. We hired two new Kitties, Veronika and Mona, who now oversee our cafeteria, catnip vending machines and fitness programs. Although I bill us as "Nancy and the Kitties," the truth is that I am merely the mouthpiece for the enterprise. Our inspiration and innovation is purely feline. And everything is one-of-a-kind. (Their attention span is just too short to do the same thing twice.)

The Kitties and I welcome custom orders. We love to make bridal jewelry, bridesmaids' accessories and corporate gifts. Be aware, however, that the Kitties can be rather temperamental designers. Sometimes they think inside The Box, sometimes outside. (Same with The Bag. And The Cabinet. And The Dryer.) I will make every effort to insure that your custom work is to your liking; and, if you are unhappy with any KittyCraft, it will be cheerfully (on my part - the Kitties, not so much) replaced, repaired or refunded.”
