As usual, I am thankful with Sparkle …meaning, I am thankful for all of the Sparkle in my life. I love this holiday and there are oh, so many varied traditions that give meaning to families and friends who give thanks together on Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving. Personally, I always delay going into any stores this time of year (Yup, no stores from Halloween until Thanksgiving), because Christmas seems to start (commercially) earlier and earlier! Thank goodness for Instacart, LOL
This month, my focused Gratitude started at Bryant Park, NYC. It began with coffee, of course, at the CASA TUSCANA with no “red & green” or Christmas decor in sight- YAY! .
While coffee always makes me Sparkle, I’m sure you would love to see some Diamond Sparkle that makes me FEEL like I Sparkle. First…be prepared, my pendant can take your breath away…
I’m wearing a pendant of 1.07 carats of natural diamonds. It features a natural fancy light yellow pear shaped diamond, surrounded by 12 natural intense yellow round diamonds, which is suspended by 6 natural round diamonds on an 18K white gold chain. This sparkle is designed and created, thanks to “Jewelry by Isie Kratka”. Isie is 93 years young, who still Sparkles in his NYC office at least two days a week.
Close Your Eyes & Make a Wish
Does anyone else close their eyes after tossing a coin in a fountain. I’ve done it several times at the Trevi Fountain in Rome….and way more often at fountains in the US. Here I am again closed eyes at the fountain in Bryant Park, which is on all year round BTW.

I am sending my warmest wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
Thank you for reading–I am grateful that you subscribe to my Sparkle♥.
PS I do LOVE CHRISTMAS–the entire Christmas Season! Many of you may remember that my late husband and little boy were BOTH born on Christmas Day. Oh, the celebrations we had! Tomorrow I start the celebrations of their lives and the beautiful Christmas Season of Love. Stay Tuned.
