About Me

Well, I am a widow who has one wonderful daughter, a great son-in-law and a beautiful granddaughter. I am a professional interor designer who has worked as a commercial manufacturer's representative since 1989. Three years ago I moved to JAX to be near my only family. My business is hectic with constant deadlines. I do plan to slow down soon so that I can travel for pleasure. My husband died in 1993 after a long illness. After his death, I moved to Birmingham, AL to care for my father and aunt and start over in business. After their deaths, I moved to Jacksonville to be near my daughter and her family

Interests:
It is hard to squeeze them in but I love to garden, and work on art pieces,(undergraduate degree is Visual Arts). I have a design company, JBW Designs. I mainly focus on custom gift items such as wine gift bags and Christmas stockings. I take fitness and wellness seriously. I enjoy hiking, boating. I love to read. Over the years I have been involved with many volunteer activities but have not taken the time since moving to JAX. Cooking has always been a serious interest but it has evolved into the fresher, more creative approach to preparing a meal. I love Creole menus, Mediterranian and Italian foods.

Creative Projects completed this past week

I just started an new branch to my design company, JBW Designs.   It is called "Vino Couture"  Yes, I know it is a combination of Italian and French but  I could not come up with a catchier name for my custom wine gift bags.  I will photograph them soon and add to my photo lists.  The bags are fabric and lined. They include gift ties and tag.  I am selling them though various outlets and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to charity.  I have not settled on one particular charity at the present time.

Also completed this week is my first acrylic painting in years.  I chose a difficult subject which was a portrait of a friend's granddaughter with her cat.  It was good to get back to focusing on this again. 

Now to just complete that first short story in years!

Dear Lanya,
I wish I could help with some information but I have no knowledge of this phone. Dad had a cell phone but had difficulty hearing it. Good luck with the research.
All the best,
Joyce
