When I saw Wendy Gell post a Hello Kitty wristie on her Facebook page today — I knew she had to be the subject of my post. Wendy and I became friends in the 90s when she lived on Quonnipaug Lake in CT and was known to all as “The Lake Fairy.” There she created a magical, wooded, jewel-encrusted world where children and adults came to play during the joyous celebrations she hosted. Now, as west coast Wendy, she continues to delight audiences old and new with incredible sparkle, wit, humor, style and fantasy.
I could never do Wendy justice in one small post. She is an internationally known jewelry designer and artisan whose work has been showcased in countless fashion magazines and has been collected by cultural icons including Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor. I encourage you to visit her website and explore!
