Senufa Salley: Jewelry Trunk Show
Inspired by her lifelong love of our natural environment and the human form, Senufa Salley integrates precious metals with organic materials and precious stones
to create ageless jewelry pieces that are never boring and always
memorable in their simplicity. Every element is given singular
attention to insure the quality and distinctiveness of each piece.

One of her signature collections is the Real Woman series, begun 25 years
ago when she was discovering methods for sawing into sheets of silver.
Other trade mark works include hammered oval links, carved tagua seeds
and mahogany seed pods. New jewelry for this Trunk Show includes silver
and bronze goddesses and some new yummy leather cuffs! Visit her
website at http://senufa.com for more information.

soothing sounds of Francisco’s music, stick around and feast your soul
on chocolate goodies and erotic poetry. Great night to bring a date or
BFF, or come solo and surround yourself with talented women’s voices!
The chocolate tasting and seating will begin at 6:30 pm and the reading will begin promptly at 7:00 pm.
