Jonatha is my supershero
my supershero
So I got a little giddy tonight seeing this photo. My superhero Jonatha Brooke wearing one of my pieces, belting it out on tour with Joe Cocker all over Europe...
When I started my business five years ago, I sent superhero necklaces to five people I admired in the world. Jonatha was at the top of my list. She surprised me by emailing almost immediately and ordering more in every color. A girl gets a little fluttery just thinking about it.
If you've never heard Jonatha's music, get yer booty over to her site. She is a bad ass rock star.

Good morning, just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying your site! I am in a boring but necessary job at the moment and was desperately looking for something to help me get through my long days behind this desk...and here you are! I've been busy catching up on your archived journal entries and love how much it is opening up for me. All the links, the inspiration, the ideas for creativity, and the sense of community - much needed.
Thank you Andrea, for all your wonderful words and images, I've been passing your site onto to share with all the brilliant people in my life...and there are many!
How cool is this? By the way, also love the street sign factory tour...what a great week you're having!
And, need to join the other's requesting the list of the other 4!
Posted by: Tommy Boy at December 19, 2005 07:01 AMThat is so cool! That's the kind of thing that would geek me out, too.
I wonder who the other 4 admired people were... :)

A Rock Star wearing your necklaces... how awesome is that! One can't ask for anything better. Good for you girl!
Just wondering, who the other four people were?

the Fact ALONE that you've only been running your business for five years (AND LOOK AT HOW WONDERFUL IT"S doing!!!) gets me excited.
But, what a Great idea to send 5 of yr. necklaces to ppl you admire most.
***wow: as i'm writing this, i realize i've almost done the same thing with my writing or other art. THAT's exciting. thx for helping me seeee this !
Posted by: delia~rose at December 17, 2005 05:27 AMI love that you did this, Andrea. Most people would start their business with the hoope that someday those five people would buy their product. You just went out and made it happen. And it tickled me to come to your comments box and see someone mention Stephanie Schneiderman...she was a backup singer in a popular Portland band during my PDX years. :)
Posted by: Marilyn at December 17, 2005 01:46 AMI had never heard of her, thanks for the tip. She sounds great, I'm gonna get her music. She reminds me a bit of Stephanie Schneiderman, great NW artist: http://www.stephanieschneiderman.com/music/. Same beautiful lyrics...
Posted by: Zwiedawurzn at December 16, 2005 11:52 PMGreat necklace! Oh, and I saw you in Sunset Magazine. As I travel from weblog to weblog, I find that you have touched so many people, including myself, thank you.
Posted by: Christine at December 16, 2005 09:50 PMI want to know, who were the other four people?! Love the necklace!
Posted by: Alison at December 16, 2005 09:19 PMI adore Jonatha Brooke. She is amazing and your necklace looks great on her.
Posted by: The Other Brian at December 16, 2005 07:57 PMShe's playing at the Ann Arbor (that's where I am) Folk Festival in January. I'd never paid much attention to her, but maybe we'll check her out.
