How did you choose your shop name?
"I chose the name Andreas Jewelry so that it would identify me and be cohesive with my gluten free recipe blog which I named Andreas Kitchen."

Green Jasper Earrings

Why did you choose to make/sell what you do?

"I have always loved creating jewelry and when I walked into a bead store for the first time in 1995, it evolved pretty quickly into a business. I come from a family of people who are all self employed, so it was inevitable!"

Lapis Earrings

What inspires the designs/creations you make?

"When I am creating a jewelry design I start with my focal bead and then I look through all of my other beads that are in the colors of that bead. I just let my reactions and feelings about different combinations flow until I find the perfect combination that looks and feels right. The colors and textures need to be harmonious and I want my jewelry to make my customers happy when they wear it."

Inspirational Words Bracelet

What new designs/creations would you like to add to your shop in the future?

"My next project is to add more pieces to my Spiritual Section. I have lots of new designs in my head that I will be putting together soon. I have also been collecting beautiful floral glass beads to use in my jewelry. My long term goal is to feature beads and pendants that are created by artists from each of our 50 states in my jewelry designs. I am proud to work with so many talented artists and I love promoting the 'Made In The USA' aspect of my jewelry."

Since it's February, I asked the shops to share their favorite love story movies.

"One of my favorite movie love stories is The Notebook, written by Nicolas Sparks. It is about an older man (James Garner) who goes every day to visit and read to an older lady (Gena Rowlands) who lives in a dementia care facility. He is reading her a story from a notebook about a young couple who love each other but are kept apart for a long time by the girl's parents. One day the lady's mind is clear and she realizes the story that he has been reading is about them and that (James Garner) is really her husband. The movie ends with him laying in bed with her one night and they both pass away within hours of each other while they are holding hands."

Night 13 ~ An Affair To Remember

Tagline - On the Riviera...across the ocean...and all

over New York!

Songs from the movie playing on the Jukebox...
*An Affair To Remember by Vic Damone

Directed by Leo McCarey (Duck Soup and The Bells of Saint Mary's) and released on July 11, 1957 by Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation (Rated G). Playboy Nicky Ferrante (Carry Grant) and night club singer Terry McKay (Deborah Kerr) have a romance while on a cruise from Europe to New York. Problem is they are both engaged to other people. They decide to make plans to meet six months later on the top floor of The Empire State Building to see if they still feel the same way about each other. Will they keep their date or will fate try to keep them apart?

This is classic movie making at it's best. Whirlwind romance, beautiful locations, unforeseen tragedy and big sappy endings. The time period is one of my favorites. The men look dapper and the women so beautiful. It's a great big slice of 50's movie magic. If you like love stories and haven't seen this one yet, go give it a try. You just don't get much better than Carry Grant!

This movie is a remake of the 1939 movie "Love Affair" with Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer. There was also a modern day remake in 1994 also titled "Love Affair" with Warren Beatty and Annette Bening. I have not seen either of these versions.

Take a look at the original trailer

Some trivia about the movie...
1. References to this movie in Nora Ephron's Sleepless in Seattle (1993), revitalized interest in the film, and led to 2 million additional sales of the 1957 classic on VHS.
2. Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant improvised many of their scenes throughout filming, and a number of lines that made it to the final cut of the film came from the actors' improvisation.
3. Ingrid Bergman was the first choice to play Terry McKay.
4. Nickie and Terry make their conditional promise to meet in six months at exactly the halfway point of the film (59-1/2 minutes into the 119-minute movie).
5. Deborah Kerr plays Terry McKay, previously played by Irene Dunne in Love Affair (1939), of which this film is a remake - both were directed by Leo McCarey. The year before this film was made, Kerr played Anna Leonowens in The King and I (1956), also a role that had previously been played by Irene Dunne in the black-and-white classic Anna and the King of Siam (1946).
6. After the confrontation with the photographer on the ship's deck, Deborah Kerr turns to Cary Grant and says, "So, I go my way [traces a straight path by her hand] and you go yours [traces a twisty path with the waive of her hand]." The same exchange takes place between Irene Dunne and Cary Grant in The Awful Truth (1937), where she says: "As we go down the life's highway, you go in your way [traces a twisty path with the waive of her hand] and I go in my way [traces a straight path]."
7. Second of three movies that paired Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant.
