\t\t\t\tOn our recent trip to Lindsborg, Kansas<\/a>, I stopped by to give a big ol’ farmgirl hug to my friend and National Geographic<\/em> photographer, Jim Richardson<\/a>. (Treat yourself to some of his photos in his list of\u00a0published stories<\/a>.) He and his wife, Kathy Richardson, have a studio on Main Street called Small World Gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’re a regular reader of Nat Geo, you know that Jim is still capturing the world in photos. In 1994, Jim spent a few days photographing us for a\u00a0feature that appeared in 1995.<\/p>\n

His wife, the lovely Kathy Richardson, has a jewelry making business, IBIS Woman Jewelry<\/a>, that is to-die-for<\/em>. Ok, it’s really to live<\/strong> for. We spent about\u00a0two hours in a state of euphoric bliss sorting through thousands of beads, creating bracelets, earrings, and necklaces that Kathy, with a flick of the wrist, put together to create spectacular personalized jewelry. We were in pretty things heaven<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Her company, IBIS Woman Jewelry<\/a>, now allows you to shop online. Go check it out if you’re in need of a fabulous gift for someone, or maybe just yourself. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Just look<\/em> at her assortment and tell me you aren’t jealous.<\/p>\n
