Amelia!

And the winner of the "name the new SToNZ mannequin contest" is....
Amelia!  Thank you to Lois McManus of the fabulous Etsy jewelry shop Evitts Creek Arts who suggested the name. Somehow it just fits. Lois has received a 20% off coupon to use on her next SToNZ Jewelry purchase.  Thanks everyone, for all of the fun ideas. It wasn't easy to choose!
Amelia is very happy with her new name...

My new SToNZ model needs a name...

For months I have been on a quest to find an old dressmakers form on which to photograph SToNZ necklaces. I go to antique shows, estate sales and garage sales....and scour ebay and Etsy in search of the right mannequin. My favorites are usually French and range in price from $150 to $400. A bit out of my league.
Yesterday I was at an estate sale in a tiny home in Solon, Ohio. It was in the basement of this home where I discovered _________.   (She needs a name. Any ideas!?) 
And get this: she was just $5.00. Really! I am not kidding.
She was extended to her full height, so getting her into the Mini Cooper was a bit of a challenge. Fortunately a kind gentleman getting into his nearby car had some pliers with him and graciously offered to help me loosen a rusted wing nut so I could shorten the stand height.
So, doesn't she just look lovely with her SToNZ necklaces? Really, she needs a name. Help me out here.

Leave your ideas in the comment section below. The winner will get a 20% off coupon toward their next SToNZ purchase.
