The Treasury Travellers
From Friday, January 31 there will be a lot of goings on and goings away from and to The Treasury. Sylvia, accompanied by Nicola, will be travelling through Laos and Cambodia for two weeks. Ostensibly studying the history and culture of the area, they will without doubt find themselves drawn irrevocably to the handicraft and artisans areas. Both countries are richly endowed with gemstones and precious metals so the two gemmologists will have to use their time well.
Lynne will be in charge as always, and whenever the boss is away she likes to have a SALE. The SALE will run from Fri Jan 30 for two weeks.
Nicola is going on to Singapore and we dont know when she will touch base .Just to make things really complicated, Theresa will be away for several weeks checking out the shopping in South Africa and Namibia.
In spite of these perambulations and permutations we will have spectacular new jewellery designs on display in The Treasury from February 20 and we look forward to seeing you.
