Turtles

I love turtles! There is something so majestic about them, their slow pace and graceful movement. I'm still waiting for the first time I get to see one up close while snorkeling... Last Saturday I participated in the Festival de Tinglar (Turtle Festival) in Luquillo, Puerto Rico. It was sponsored by the local chapter of the Sierra Club and I had a chance to meet so many cool and like - minded people, besides getting a chance to show my jewelry. What a fun day! Food, drink, lots of artists and the constant rythym of bomba and salsa music. This week I've selected other artists that must love turtles too since they've prominently displayed them on everything from cool coin purses to baby bibs. Enjoy!
