There has been lots going on as of late and I just wanted to share and connect with you.  As some of you know I stopped attending the big trade shows about 3 years ago.  The biggest drawback to this is that I miss seeing my retailers in person!  One wonderful thing is that I have become a metal arts teacher to adults and children, which brings vast amounts of joy to my daily life.  For more on private lessons please visit http://www.aimeegolant.com/services_lessons.html and for links to schools where you can take group lessons visit:  http://www.aimeegolant.com/bio.html.   For some upcoming class listing including upcoming summer youth programs, please visit: http://www.aimeegolant.com/news.html. 

Lately I have been using my art to help raise funds for some wonderful organizations including the Upper Midwest Region of Hadassah, American Jewish World Service,  Sharsheret and more.  When you buy work from me I donate money to these great causes.  Hadassah has an exclusive on the Chai for their Chai Society, so those are not for sale in this catalog.  I n case you are curious you can see the Chai pin pendant on their facebook page at  http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6423958375.  Some of you may also know of organizations that need art to help them raise funds.  If so, I would be grateful if you could please forward along this information.

Next, I have a new full color brochure, that I would be happy to send you or your colleagues who need art for selling/ fundraising.  Please do let me know if you want me to send you one. Some of you have been asking  if I could send updated catalogs.  Here is the latest (scroll down).  If you want to see more of my current work visit: http://www.aimeegolant.com.  I am always making new pieces but sometimes I will admit it takes a little while for these to get on my site, therefore at the bottom of this email I have included some work not yet posted online.  I have also been doing a fair amount of custom work.  You can have your old gold refined and we can use it to create the jewelry that you will really wear and cherish.  It is fun too, if we make the jewelry together as a private lesson. 

Some of you have been curious about the Women's Torah Project.  It has been way slow going, so much so that another woman already finished a Torah before us!  We are still glad to be involved in it in whatever capacity as it has openend doors for women to become Torah scribes.  I am still making a crown (although it probably will not be used for WTP)-- it is a one of a kind in copper, silver, 22K gold with a brown diamond.  When it is done, I will send you all pictures.  I am planning on lending them out to different temples.  If you know any temples that may be  interested, please let me know. 

Are you on myspace or facebook?  In the web based social networking world I am on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/mezuzah_lady and on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=736105391, if you are on these sites, I would love to link up with you.  Also, I have started a new little online store on this great site called etsy.  To check out my new online store there, please visit: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5560559.  If you are interested in seeing me in the bay area  at one of my upcoming shows, visit: www.aimeegolant.com/news.html.

Finally, in other (personal) news, many of you know that David and I got married in September of 2007.     We spent 3.5 weeks in New Zealand for our honeymoon-- which was awesome at the end of 2007- through mid January 2008.  What an amazing adventure!!!

I hope you all are doing well, and please do stay in touch with me.  Some of my pieces for sale (and otherwise) are below.

My Best,
