Bye Mitzpe Ramon! A safe oasis in the middle of chaos.

Yesterday we had to make some decisions. They kept changing as we wanted to ponder all of our options. One was to cross the border to Jordan and hope that we would get on our flight from Amman to Geneva on Monday. We ditched that because it wasn’t a solid one. The border was only open until 2pm yesterday and there’s no guarantee that the airspace stays open. To my understanding it was closed since the first attacks and opened yesterday morning.

We were hoping to get a boat taking us to Cyprus where was ready to receive us with open arms, but that wasn’t an option. Israeli airspace stays closed until further notice.

We decided to get a driver and drive down south to Eilat, cross the border to Egypt, drive to Sharm-El-Sheikh, snorkel for a day, sleep over, catch a flight to Milano, spend a day touring and then fly home.
We’re on our way down to Eilat right now.

As we were leaving, some pilots walked in to the hotel. They smiled and wouldn’t admit being pilots but the F-16i patch on the sleeve of their overalls revealed a lot. In the next sentence they said that they were looking for a place where to sleep between their flights(!). They politely declined a photo with us, but were happy to hear that we had been cheering every time we heard them taking off. The air base is fairly close to the hotel and the first day we heard the fighter jets constantly. Godspeed boys!

Virvé Jewelry 💛 Sunshinery. Now available at (@87 and Columbus) my solid 18K letter pendants! Think of it as your old typewriter popped out 3D golden letters instead of clanking black ink on paper.

They're all handmade and measure about 6.5mm-9.5mm without jump rings. Each piece is made out of solid 18K recycled gold, hung on a solid 14K adjustable (16"-18") gold chain.
They're just the right size to wear with anything and since they're solid gold, you can wear them anywhere; to the pool, beach, shower or gym. Pick out a letter for each kid or spell out something.

Stay tuned! This necklace coming up soon! I’m thinking of casting the bottom one, it’s little more dainty and somehow reads better. Will get it cast and gold plated, thinking it’ll take about 2-3 weeks to get it in the store. It’s a semi-custom piece since I’ve been thinking of making one for a while but then a friend of mine said she’d want one, so I started working on it. Match for a scale.

When you *think* you take a day off from work but end up selling jewelry off of you to someone who can’t live without it —Priceless. Not the first time I sold a piece off of me, but definitely the most memorable. Thanks . You rock it!
(She’s just holding on to my ring until she gets a brand new one delivered on Wednesday! Thanks 😘)
