Trink's french style house in Palm BeachAmanda Jaron... Joaillier. Amanda Jaron Joaillerie... This morning, I met with (finally) Amanda Jaron, a young Naples socialite, mother and career woman, after she charmingly emailed me via facebook an invitation for morning coffee ! Amanda is an uber talented young mother of two, who also is running a wildly successful jewelry company, Amanda Jaron Studio - A. Jaron Fine Jewelry... http://www.ajaron.com/ She has been featured on all of the major television networks, and has her own show on HSN (Home Shopping Network). Oprah recently featured the designer and her husband, Steve in her "O" magazine... AND her creations are sold at Saks, AND worn by A list celebrities. I really enjoyed meeting her, and look forward to getting to know this dynamo of a chic woman better... since we live not too far away from each other ! On another note, I was very taken with the blog Cote de Texas's feature on Lanterne houses... french pavilion style buildings where the fenestration (windows) are aligned front to back. Since, while perusing my favorite blog, New York Social Diary, I came across this wonderful coverage of a "petite maison" in Palm Beach, which was built for a John Deere heiress by the name of Trink... with a similar vernacular. This little house recently sold for over twice what it sold for ten years ago, something like 17 million versus 8.5 !!! Hmmm... me thinks well located real estate might just still be a rock solid investment. What do you think ? Or should I ask Trink ? Ha Ha... Here's a little glimpse of the spectacular property, the stuff of which sweet dreams are made. Enjoy ! DF ***** copyright Dean Farris 2010
