February 2010 - Happy Valentine's Day |

Released February 1, 2010
Happy Valetine's Day
Ahhh, amore! Regardless of what’s going on in the
world around us, people will always fall in love. And
although we’re sure it happens year-round, what
better time for us to celebrate love and affection
than in this February issue? Be sure to note how
many North Georgia advertisers are showing their
love with specials, sentiments, or just showing their
red and pink colors. In addition to some Valentine’s
celebrations in our events, we pay tribute to
Valentine’s Day on page 19 with one look at its hazy
origins.
This been a really fun issue to put together—what
goes better with love than rocks! There is a lot of
gemstone knowledge being shared in this issue. Did
you know that “semi-precious” is a term the gem
industry would like to see obsolete? The term was
originally used to describe any gem other than a
diamond, sapphire, ruby, or emerald. But since the
term implies sub-standard value, and there are so many equally beautiful clear and colored stones
(such as apatite and tourmalines) as well as beautiful “rocks” (such as lapis, turquoise, jasper, and
agate), the word “precious” seems to no longer apply to only a few stones. All are precious! When it
comes to gems, beauty and value are truly in the eye of the beholder.
We want to send a big “thank you!” to Mr. Donald Clark of the International Gem Society (www.
gemsociety.org) and the International Colored Gemstone Association (www.gemstone.org) for
providing such wonderful gemstone articles. We hope you will not only find these articles interesting,
but will also feel more informed when you go to make your next gem purchase. If your interest is
piqued, you should certainly check out their web sites, where you can find an abundance of gem
information for just about any age and any experience level.

Merry Christmas
What a good time we had with this month’s front cover! Beth Snider outdid herself with her camera. It was no easy task to get this many people together, but it finally happened. We want to thank Judith Johnson and White Interiors for all their help and support in having the store decorated for this occasion. A big jolly thank you to Santa for taking time out of his busy schedule to take part in the photo shoot. Don’t you love the twinkle in his eye?
Thanks also to Neva Garrett, who directs these youngsters in Dahlonega’s Historic Holly Theater’s A Christmas Carol. She and the mothers made sure they were in costume and ready for their assignment. These delightful kids, and their roles in the play, are (top, left to right): Jack Kern (Intelligent Lad), Glenn Tucker (Young Scrooge), Jordan Garrett (Snowball Kid), and Jesse Scales (Snowball Kid); Santa with Olivia Simmons (Snowball Kid); (bottom, left to right): Wyatt Pielow (Tiny Tim) and Belle Adams (Tiny Tim). The play starts December 3 and runs through December 29; call the Holly at 706-864-3759 for more information, and tickets. White Interiors is a proud supporter of the Holly.

Happy Thanksgiving
Our North Georgia part of the world looks quite different from one
month ago. Now the trees are in beautiful shades of red, yellow,
orange, and gold. Just driving into town is a beautiful experience in
color. I always think about how God just took his paint brush and
totally changed the looks of the trees. Also since a month ago, some of
the trees have entirely lost their leaves, indicated by the piles of
leaves
