Episode Notes Los Angeles: Is It Open for Visitors Right Now? Plus a Chat with Kathy McCabe of the PBS TV Show "Dream of Europe".

Hi everybody, Happy New Year! I'm stoked to post this chat with my first guest of 2025: Mediterranean artist extraordinaire PAVLO! Born in Toronto to Greek parents, Pavlo's amazing journey to touring concert halls around the globe is most impressive. Over his 20-year career, he's released 17 albums and 4 PBS TV specials, including his latest which was filmed in Santorini! Two of his albums went GOLD, and he had a Top 10 Billboard hit with “FANTASIA.” In 2002, Pavlo won a lawsuit against R&B mega stars R-Kelly and Jay-Z, who sampled his music for their hit song “Fiesta.” Pavlo has performed for King Charles and worked/toured with artists such as Jose Feliciano, Olivia Newton John and The Tenors. He also recorded/performed a trio album called “Trifecta” with legendary guitarist OSCAR LOPEZ and Hall of Famer RIK EMMETT (Triumph). Their subsequent national tour was sold out, and the album earned Pavlo a Juno nomination!Playing what he calls “Mediterranean music”- a blend of Greek, flamenco, Latin and Balkan flavours, Pavlo chats about his early childhood, how he went GOLD on his debut album and sold out Toronto's Massey Hall. We also talk about his continuous growth in popularity by orchestrating the release of 4 PBS specials, allowing him to tour constantly all over North America. Pavlo has headlined over 3000 concerts so far and, being a born entertainer, will keep performing and performing. This was a fun chat I enjoyed very much!

Dr. Haimoff received his Ph.D. in Biology from Cambridge University's Pembroke College in the U.K., where he studied in the famed footsteps of scientists like Stephen Hawking, Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton. Dr. Haimoff pioneered the development of several specific computer software programs used for biological scientific analyses of a wide variety of animals and human behavior, back in the days when mainframe computers used punch-cards.He was also the very first scientist in history to use the fledgling videotape format as a tool for analyzing animal behavior both in a laboratory setting and in the wild. Back then, in the mid-1970s, “portable” or “field” video recorders were custom-made, limited edition prototypes so weighty they required two crew-members to carry around, and videotapes were hand-spooled onto reel-to-reel decks.For five years after receiving his doctorate in the mid- to late-1980s, Dr. Haimoff served as a research professor in Biology at UCLA, where he continued his studies into animal behavior and ecology, traveling to mainland communist China in places no Westerner had visited since the 1850s, and helped the Chinese government set up game reserves and protected areas to save wildlife on the verge of extinction. Dr. Haimoff published over 40 articles in scientific journals and books from 1980-1990 on his diverse research into animal behavior, ecology, and evolution, establishing him as a world-renowned authority on animal as well as plant biology.After meeting with an executive at the PBS-TV station in Los Angeles (KCET), who had recently produced a science documentary series and acquired a million-dollar grant from the L.K. Whittier Foundation to continue producing science TV programs, Dr. Haimoff was persuaded to pursue a career in science TV production in the late-1980s. For two years after joining the staff of the Los Angeles-area PBS-TV station, Dr. Haimoff wrote and produced numerous segments and documentaries on scientific subjects ranging from the fringes of the cosmos to the sub-atomic components of matter - programs which spanned the entire spectrum of science.Website globalscience.biz/aboutBooks Apollo 12: Uncensored and Unfiltered Space Pioneers: Conversations With the Men of Apollo Women Space PioneersHelp Support the Show Visit: patreon.com / californiahauntsradio Visit our store for some cool merch at https://boocrew.printful.me/

Kevin Roth's journey into the world of folk music began at the tender age of thirteen when he first picked up the dulcimer. Little did he know that this humble beginning would lead to a remarkable career filled with international acclaim. By the age of sixteen, Roth had already recorded his debut album for Folkways / Smithsonian Folkways Records, marking the start of his meteoric rise to fame. Over the next decade, he solidified his place as a prominent folk singer and dulcimer player, recording a total of ten albums with the label. Notably, his performance of the theme song for the PBS-TV children's show Shining Time Station in 1984 catapulted him into a much larger market, expanding his reach and influence. Collaborating with Noel Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul & Mary further entrenched Roth in American folk history, cementing his legacy as a musician who has graced concert stages worldwide, appeared at prestigious events such as the White House, and left an indelible mark on the world of folk music.

What you'll learn in this episode:   Why it's harder to find quality vintage and modern costume jewelry today than in years past How Rosie secured a spot as an appraiser on Antiques Roadshow  What Rosie looks for in the pieces she collects, wears and sells in her shop Where the term “costume jewelry” came from and its history Why Rosie is one of the only people in America who will repair costume jewelry   About Rosie Sayyah Rosie Sayyah has been selling and repairing vintage and estate jewelry from her shop, Rhinestone Rosie, in Seattle since 1984. In the early 1980s, Rosie felt her family tradition of dealing in antiques calling to her. Upon leaving her corporate career in television, she decided to open a jewelry store that not only had unique, exciting items for sale, but also where she could restore greatness to jewelry that had fallen into disrepair. Teaching herself about vintage costume and estate jewelry culture and repair through books, hobby shops, and hands-on experience, Rosie has become a national expert in the field. In the late 1990s, she began appearing regularly on “Antiques Roadshow” on PBS TV and continues today as one of their expert appraisers.   Photos available on TheJewelryJourney.com   Additional resources: Website Instagram Facebook Twitter   Transcript: Rosalie Sayyah, aka Rhinestone Rosie, first got jewelry lovers' attention as an appraiser on Antiques Roadshow. But she has earned her customers' loyalty for her ability to repair vintage costume jewelry and perfectly match missing rhinestones when no one else can. She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about why so few jewelers will repair costume jewelry; what she looks for in the pieces she buys; and how to start a costume jewelry collection of your own. Read the episode transcript here.   Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. If you haven't heard part one, please head to TheJewelryJourney.com.    Today, I'm talking with Rhinestone Rosie. You may already be familiar with Rosie. She has her own retail outlet in Seattle, and she does a strong mail order business. You may be familiar with her by seeing her on Antiques Roadshow giving the price of vintage jewelry to people who want to know. Welcome back.   Sharon: Why don't they make them anymore?   Rosie: I don't know exactly why, but take a company like Schreiner. They're so collectable. Most of the stones that were put in that jewelry in the 50s and 60s came from a secret stash that he had from the early 20s and 30s. They just don't make them anymore. A lot of new jewelry is Lucite, plastic stones, not glass, not crystal, so there is a problem with soldering, of course.   Sharon: That's interesting. I didn't think about that. Do you ever have a problem letting something go if somebody brings in a whole collection, and you're going to sell 9% of the pieces, but you want one that you want to hold onto for whatever reason?   Rosie: I'm not sure I understand that question.    Sharon: Do you ever have a problem or a question of letting something go when somebody brings in 99 pieces?   Rosie: I want to buy it and they don't want to sell it?   Sharon: Or they want to sell it and you think you should be selling it, but you can't let it go, so you buy it?   Rosie: Of course, yes. There are pieces that never hit the sales floor, you bet.   Sharon: That's interesting. Do you teach classes on vintage jewelry and rhinestones? You said you do a lot of talking.   Rosie: The only thing I've done lately has been the talks. I used to do classes in my shop. I would drag chairs from the tavern down the block. But we've rearranged the floor plan of our shop, and it doesn't suit itself very well. I'm still very, very aware of Covid, I'm sorry. I do wear a mask when I'm in my shop. People don't have to wear a mask if they come in. That's why we're only open three days a week, to limit exposure. I probably wouldn't do classes that way for a while. I've taught a few one-on-one people how to repair, especially soldering. People wanted to learn, but it's just practice.   Sharon: It is hard. That's a good way to look at it. I don't have the patience for that, but you're right, it is practice. You say that you're self-taught. Have you taken any makers' classes besides reading books, any education?   Rosie: The only thing I've done is I've gone to a lot of—there were conventions and seminars back East and also on the West Coast over the years. Through the years, I've attended a lot of those, but it wasn't repairing. It was just learning more about what things are, what they look like and what I want them to look like at the end. Both of my parents were older, so I grew up with an atmosphere not from the 50s and 60s, but the 30s, 40s, 20s. It just soaked into me how things looked, what they liked.    I've learned from other people, other dealers, about what they like, what they sell and sharing that information. I've also learned from my contemporaries on the Roadshow, invaluable stuff, but no classes. There is really nobody that could teach me that because in schools they don't do what we do. I don't use an open flame torch; I use a pencil soldering iron, various glues. It's tricky. You can easily melt a piece and destroy it for a customer. You have to be very, very careful.   Sharon: Has that ever happened to you, that you've destroyed a customer's piece accidentally?   Rosie: No, it's been more of my own. I do a lot of repairing on my own. I'll buy a broken piece and fix it. I'm knocking on wood here. I haven't had that problem, totally destroying something.    Sharon: When you refer out to people who work with gold, let's say, do they ever look down on you or look down on what you're doing because it's not real?   Rosie: If they do, they'd better not tell me because I'm sending them business. But I get that feedback a lot from people. They say they've taken this jewelry into their jeweler and they pooh-pooh it. “No, no, we can't fix that. We don't work with that stuff,” so they send them to me.   Sharon: I was thinking they say, “We don't work with that stuff.” It's too cheap or it's not real or it's whatever.   Rosie: Yeah, whatever it is. I don't know. I think that's not a good customer relations attitude.    Sharon: I think that makes a lot of sense. Did you have any—I'll use the word compunction. Did you have any reservations or compunction about centering your life around costume jewelry and rhinestones?   Rosie: If you saw my house, you'd realize that I'm a major gardener. I'm very physical and active. I walk a lot. I read a lot. But I don't bring my stuff home per se. I don't have a storeroom here in my house. The pictures behind me are my husband's. He's traveled all over the world taking photographs. It is a life built around it. That's fine and that's who I am, but I'm also a different person that is totally devoid of any kind of sparkle.    Sharon: What is your favorite kind of costume? You mentioned 50 watches. What is your favorite kind of jewelry?   Rosie: I like necklaces. I think a necklace can transform the whole image of the outfit you have on and the way you feel about yourself. It's one of the things we can see when we have it on. We can see rings, watches, bracelets. We can't see earrings. We have to look in a mirror. But a necklace, it can be a real changer to you. I know a lot of people wear necklaces 24/7. I don't. I don't have a little gold chain on with a little diamond or anything like that, but I like necklaces and brooches. I wear more jackets in the winter, so I wear a lot of brooches, but I wear necklaces with my outfits year-round, so that would have to be it. I also wear rings and watches.   Sharon: What would you think if someone wanted to collect costume jewelry or rhinestone jewelry? Where should we start? Is there somebody we're not looking at?   Rosie: I would say buy what appeals to you and wear it and see if you like it. I don't like to focus anybody on a certain name or area. Most people, when I ask them how they started or how they collect, they say, “Oh, I buy these things that shine.” That's one way to do it. If you happen to find a name you like, I would say you can focus on those pieces, but I don't try to steer anybody in any certain direction. I just say buy what you like and enjoy it. It doesn't matter what anybody else says to you. That's how I buy.   Sharon: Do you think the stuff that is around today is as long-lasting as the stuff of yesteryear?   Rosie: No, not at all. Glue and plastic and that kind of thing, the way they're made, no. Back in the 40s and 50s, these pieces were all hand-set. They were all prong-set or glued in individually if they were not prong-set. Today, it's more mass hot glue gun, stick them on, pile the stones on, and they just fall off. The settings are not strong. I would agree with you. Contemporary jewelry does have some issues.   Sharon: I've been stopped sometimes in a good way, like, “Oh, that's a pretty necklace. It's shiny.” I don't buy it, but I don't not buy it because of the money. In my head, I think, “Oh, that won't last that long,” not because it's not made well, but because it's a contemporary piece. Do you know what I mean?   Rosie: I do know what you mean, yes. People go to Hawaii and buy the nut necklaces. It's what I call tourist quality. They even did that back at the turn of the century. When people were on the Grand Tour, they would buy little pieces of jewelry. They're better made than our tourist quality today, but it was still way lower quality. That's when the industrial revolution came in and made things able to be mass-produced. Then they could sell it better. Not just the aristocracy would have jewelry, but anybody could have jewelry. That really did change, too. The commoner can have a little pin or whatever.   Sharon: The necklace you have on has big, bold stones. Is that the way it started? Did people have less conspicuous things, and then they became used to that and started having things that are big and bold?   Rosie: Yes, in the 50s after the war, people wanted to celebrate the American way. This is America. This is screaming, “We are big and bold!” If you think of cocktail parties, cocktail rings, your jewelry wouldn't just have one necklace. This necklace has a matching bracelet, earrings and a brooch and maybe even a ring. The women would be totally decked out in this. I think it's totally an American quality, really out there, very proud of what they have, big and bold. That's what happened in the 50s and 60s, but we didn't get our ears pierced until the 60s. We were still wearing the clip-on earrings, because a loose woman would have her ears pierced. That was funny.   Sharon: My mom would say, “Whatever.” Have you ever seen a piece that's too—I want to use the word gaudy without saying it's gaudy, but it was too big and bold?   Rosie: Oh yeah, I have. Something about it would be a little demonic or something, but it had those elements to it. Oh yeah, I've seen that, but that's O.K. It's just an expression of what that person wanted to make, and I can totally understand that. There were two guys, DeLizza and Elster, and we call it D&E Jewelry. They just started making stuff they liked, and that's usually some of the best jewelry, I think. You just let it flow. Make what you like.   Sharon: I didn't mean to interrupt, but they were D&E and they segued to Juliana?   Rosie: Juliana, I think, and I might be mistaken, was the name of one of their daughters. They didn't sign the jewelry. It only had paper tags, but there are certain industrial components to the jewelry that I can identify that it's by D&E or Juliana. We call it Juliana. Schreiner is another company. There are certain elements of Schreiner jewelry you can identify if it's not signed. Miriam Haskell had a certain quality to her jewelry that you could identify. There are other names, too. Trifari had a certain quality. Even though they had different designers, there was always a certain quality to the jewelry. You could pick it out. When I go to a sale, I can narrow in and get through all the other stuff and pick out certain pieces that I want.   Sharon: Yeah, with costume jewelry, the challenge is that so much is not signed.   Rosie: Yes.   Sharon: It is. That's interesting, that you can pick out the ones you think are different makers or you can tell from the way they're made.   Rosie: Exactly. Sometimes, the first thing I do is look at the back of the piece. I tell people, “Look at the back and see how it's made. It'll give you some clues.”   Sharon: What are you looking for?   Rosie: I'm looking for what kind of catch it has, the hinge and stem, the material it's made of. Is the back hand-polished? Is it not hand-polished? How heavy is it in my hand? What type of stones did they use? How are the stones set? Are they fully pronged or is it just a glued-in stone? Those little clues tell me a lot.   Sharon: Do you think that's over with? All the manufacturing techniques you're talking about, do you think nobody's doing them?   Rosie: I'm not up to speed on exactly—I know Iradj Moini, he had some fabulous, well-done pieces. He used all the old techniques, and that's the newest designer I have. A lot of stuff is being made in China. Joan Rivers' stuff is being made in China. J. Laine is being made in China. They're good, but they still don't have all of that total, hand-touched stuff. Heidi Daus, I like her pieces. They're very colorful and bold. I got a whole estate of it, and they sold like boom, boom, boom. People were like, “Wow, I like this!” She uses bold colors, but they're not prong-set; they're just glued in. I have to say that fine jewelry maybe has some of those elements of the manufacturing process, but costume jewelry is slowly going away from that. They can't afford to do it.   Sharon: Yeah, I can understand.   Rosie: No, mm-hmm.    Sharon: Especially with what's coming in from China, it's hard to tell what's real and what's a copy.   Rosie: Yeah. I do like a lot of stuff coming out of India. They do a very good job of stone setting and stone cutting. I like some of those contemporary pieces, but I'm just not—maybe somebody out there can give me a little heads up and tell me who's doing what. I would definitely appreciate that.   Sharon: If we're not in Seattle, you work nationally, don't you? You work nationally and you have a website.   Rosie: Oh yeah, people can mail us stuff. I don't go look at something in Alabama. I'm not going to travel to look at your collection, but you can always send me an email or a picture and ask questions or if you want something repaired. Definitely, go to our website, get the address, boom, mail to us. When I receive it, I look at it. I get you on the phone. I like to talk to you on the phone and say, “O.K., I've got your stuff. This is what I can do. I can't do this.”    I have a lady in New York. She sells antique purses. She's been a customer for years. She'll send me huge boxes of purses. I have two hatpin collectors, dealers. They send huge boxes, one back East. Actually, I think she's in Washington, too. Anyway, dealers have no problem at all once they discover what we do, because it's very time-consuming to do and our prices are quite reasonable.   Sharon: Yeah, they are.    Rosie: Even the pieces we sell, the prices are very reasonable compared to a lot of other dealers. It's like, “What are they thinking when they put that price on there?” If it's a really cool and very rare piece, we will put a higher price on it, but people do buy it. That's why we're still in business after 40 years. They find us when they need us.   Sharon: That's true. They probably need you very often.   Rosie: Yes.   Sharon: If we want to keep on top of what you have, would we look at the website? Would we look at Instagram? Do you not change things?   Rosie: The pieces online are not in the shop. They can be brought in. It's a very small, limited, vetted collection that goes online, but in the shop, there are thousands and thousands and thousands of pieces. Just about anything you would need or want we could probably find for you.   Sharon: There's a limited amount that you find on the website.    Rosie: Right.   Sharon: So, I would call you up and say, “I have a green dress and I need something, What do you think?”   Rosie: Oh boy! In that case, I could shoot you a picture of several things and tell you how much they are. If you're interested, we'll ship them out to you.   Sharon: I wish you had more on the website.   Rosie: It's a lot of work to do a website. My daughter does all that. I would imagine if I ever retired, that's probably how I would get rid of most of my inventory. I'd have to rethink and redo that. But now, if you really want to see what we have, you come into the store.   Sharon: That's good to know.    Rosie: It's interesting though, Sharon, my annual visitors, they come. I'm on their bucket lists. They come once a year. They fill up on their glitz and they're very happy. We have cruise ships coming out of Seattle. They go to Alaska and people come in and say, “My husband's not here. He could care less, but you're on my list when I'm in Seattle.” People will come.   Sharon: It's true. I think you're the only person on our bucket list. If I had a written bucket list, that would be it. Thank you for being here today. We really appreciate it. I hope to get to Seattle soon.   Rosie: Thank you. Thank you so much. I hope to see you in person soon, too.     Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website.

Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it's released later this week.   Today, I'm talking with Rhinestone Rosie. You may already be familiar with Rosie. She has her own retail outlet in Seattle, and she does a strong mail order business. You may be familiar with her by seeing her on Antiques Roadshow giving the price of vintage jewelry to people who want to know.    All I know is that whenever I have a piece and I can't find the stone that's the right size, or I know it would be impossible to find the right kind, the color of the stone, or I know it's out of production—maybe it's a really old piece—I turn to her. She hasn't let me down yet. Many of her stones are out of stock elsewhere, but somehow she manages to find them. We'll hear all about her business today. Welcome to the program.   Rosie: Thanks for having me. It's a pleasure. I love to talk about jewelry.   Sharon: I'm so glad you're here. How did you choose the name Rhinestone Rosie?   Rosie: It was kind of a joke. I was an English minor in college, and alliteration is something that's very memorable. I was dealing with my sister over the mail. She was sending me pieces and I would sell them. Just as a joke, I signed a check Rhinestone Rosie and it stuck.    Sharon: So, from the get-go, from day one, the name of your business was Rhinestone Rosie.   Rosie: That's right. That's correct.   Sharon: Does Rhinestone Rosie refer to any kind of costume jewelry stones or just rhinestones?   Rosie: Oh no, we deal with all kinds of jewelry. Beads and metals and pearls, all materials, and actually all ages. We do a lot of repairs. In our shop, our inventory goes from, I would say, the 1870s through present day.   Sharon: I know you have some pretty old vintage pieces, but I don't know how old the antique line goes. A hundred years?   Rosie: Exactly.   Sharon: When did you first become attracted to rhinestones?   Rosie: It's hard to say. My parents had a secondhand business, and they repaired things and sold them. This was in Orlando, Florida. I helped my mom reupholster furniture, and sometimes in the old furniture, we would find a piece of jewelry and she would give it to me. It wasn't always rhinestones. I collected rocks when I was a kid, and they always had cut glass in the store. They had a secondhand store, and I just loved that cut glass. I've always liked shiny things, so that must have been what led me to this.   Sharon: And that includes all the shiny costume jewelry.   Rosie: Exactly, yes. And I like to work with my hands. I've been doing that since I was a little girl. So, working with things, that was just a natural offshoot.   Sharon: How did you get into the repair aspect of it? From your parents?   Rosie: No, actually after I had my baby, Lucia, I had a friend who had a vintage store in Seattle, and I would help her. I would bring home clothing and patterns and do mending on clothes, and she always had broken jewelry. I asked her one day, “Do you ever fix this?” She goes, “Oh, nobody really does. I do it once in a while.” So, I did some research and found out that nobody really repaired this jewelry. I thought, “Hmm, this is something I can do,” and I went to the local hobby shop, the guys that did model cars and model airplanes. They told me what lead solders to use, what glues to use, what paints to use. They were very helpful. They told me all kinds of stuff. I'm self-taught, so there it is. I bought a bunch of books and read the books. I learned how to knot in between beads and practiced through trial and error. I had to go through a lot of stuff.   Sharon: But you did this all yourself. As you were saying, there aren't that many other places that do it.   Rosie: No, I don't think there's a full business anywhere that does it. A lot of dealers will do some of their own. A lot of my contemporaries who did similar things have all either passed on or decided to go a different route. I think I've got a monopoly on it.   Sharon: I don't know anybody else who does it or has a store like yours, but I didn't want to say it without knowing for sure.   Rosie: I think you're right.   Sharon: That's why I'm surprised you're not in New York.   Rosie: Oh, no, we left Florida in 1973. We got as far across the country as we could. We wanted a big city, which Seattle is, and water and a temperate climate. We ended up settling here.    Sharon: It sounds like you made the right choice, but in terms of jewelry and being surrounded by jewelry, I think of New York first, Chicago maybe.   Rosie: I know. A lot of my contemporaries on the Road Show are from back East. I am an anomaly for sure, but it is what it is. That's what I do and I do it well, if I might say.   Sharon: I know in my jewelry cabinet, I have a pile of things and say, “Oh, that should go to Rhinestone Rosie's because I know she can fix it. There's nobody else that does that.” Until I found you, there were pieces I would toss or, like you're saying, give away or just say, “I can't do anything with it.”   Rosie: Exactly, I remember. You did come into my shop. It was a pleasure to meet you in person one time. We did close for about three months during the pandemic. Now we're only open three days a week in the brick-and-mortar store, although our online is still going on. I have people coming in almost daily with their pile of stuff that's been saved for two or three years. They're finally in the shop to get fixed.   Sharon: That's interesting. I noticed that you're only open a few days a week, which seemed to be fewer than before.   Rosie: Yes.   Sharon: What percentage of your business is mail order?   Rosie: I would say mail order and repair—because we do local repair. Of course, people walk in, and then people mail us things from all over the world. I think it's about a 50/50 split, for online sales and for walk-in sales and repair.   Sharon: Wow! I have a friend who was a little hesitant about sending something that was precious to them. It wasn't a precious item, but it was precious to them. I did it. I didn't have any compunction. She did it, too. Where do you source the stuff you have, your vintage pieces? Where do you get them?   Rosie: People just bring it into the store. Sometimes, I'll go to a yard sale or something and pick a piece, but mostly it's people that are downsizing or someone just passed. The family has chosen the pieces they want. Sometimes there's even a note in the collection, “Take this to Rhinestone Rosie.” It's kept me going, and I don't have to go out and beat the bushes.   Sharon: That's great. Have you found it's harder to get things in or harder to find things because costume jewelry—   Rosie: Oh yeah, the good stuff. I know there were a lot of manufacturers at the time, but I'd say the high-end pieces are in collectors' hands, and they go from one collector to another collector. They're not normally available in the market. Every once in a while, you will see that someone found something in a box of junk or something. What was so fun on the Road Show is uncovering something like that, but most of the time, it's hard. It's hard to find the good stuff, so you've got to change your focus. Right now, it's more modernist and clean lines, big, chunky necklaces. It's different than it was in, say, the 20s, 30s and 40s. Some people change.   Sharon: Do you think that costume jewelry has become more popular over the years or right now?   Rosie: People need to learn about the vintage pieces because there are lots of ones like dress clips or fur clips. They have a different way of attaching to the fabric, shall we say, but today a lot of stuff is coming out of China and Korea. There are very, very good contemporary artists making costume jewelry.   Sharon: With eBay and all the online sources, do you think it's harder to find? People know what they have, let's say.   Rosie: I don't think they know what they have, but I think there's a lot of the lower-end stuff. You could buy costume jewelry in a dime store. You could buy it in a pharmacy. You could buy it in a department store. You could buy it at a jewelry story. Jewelry stores and department stores usually sold the best quality. A lot of people bought the lower-end pieces because they were cheap, 10¢, 25¢, sometimes $1. I've seen more of that and less of the higher-end pieces.   Sharon: The audience can't see this, but maybe you'll send a picture. You have a beautiful Juliana necklace on. Do you think people know if they have a piece of jewelry on, I shouldn't bring that to you, I should try and sell it elsewhere?   Rosie: It's funny because they say, “I didn't think you wanted that big, ugly stuff. It's too gaudy,” and I'm like, “I want that. I want big, bold and ugly.” This is what people don't understand, especially in the plastics. It's very hard to find good Bakelite and celluloid and other plastics these days because people just toss them. But if they have something like the necklace I have on, I think it would give them pause, and they would bring something like that to me and I would be glad.   Sharon: As the market changes, like you mentioned, if it's cleaner lines or contemporary, do you change with it?   Rosie: Oh sure. Part of my job, Sharon, is educating people on what they have, how to wear it, where it came from, when it was made, what the materials are. I'll have someone come in. Let's say they're going to a wedding and they want a pair of earrings, and they think rhinestones can only be that clear, diamond-looking thing. When they walk in the shop, they realize it can be red, green, blue, purple with an iridescent coating like the necklace I have on, and they go out with a green pair of earrings instead of the clear ones. My job is not only educating people on what they have, but how to wear it, how to take care of it and, yes, it can be fixed. Don't let your high-end jeweler tell you that it can't be fixed. Just keep looking and you'll find me.   Sharon: That's really true. I have found that a lot of high-end jewelers tell me they can't do anything, and somebody who's more an engineering type feels they can do something with it. They can fix it.   Rosie: Exactly, yeah. I spend a lot of time re-repairing things that someone else did. “My father soldered it or my husband,” or “I used this kind of glue.” A lot of our repairs are removing the glue and old solder and getting it down to a basic where I can rebuild it back.   Sharon: Is it you or does somebody else work with you on repairs?   Rosie: Me and my daughter, we both do it in the shop. We don't send it out. We don't work with gold, and we don't do silver solder. We do lead solder. But yeah, these hands, that's what they do.   Sharon: Did you approach Antiques Roadshow or did they find you?   Rosie: It's funny. In 1997, they did the first launch of the program, and Seattle was one of the test cities. Some of my mentors who do fine antique jewelry said, “Rosie, you should have been there. We had so much costume jewelry come in and we didn't know what to tell people.” Long story short, my background is in television. I used to be a producer. I made commercials, and I knew the producer was the one to call.    So, I called WGBH, a guy named Peter, and I said, “Hey, my name is Rhinestone Rosie,” and there was a beat. I said, “I'm not a stripper. I can walk and talk at the same time. I'm fairly presentable on camera and I know about costume jewelry.” He said, “Yes, we would love to have you.” So, in 1998 in Portland, Oregon, it was my first show. I don't think I taped. I was a little bit afraid. I've always been behind the camera, not in front of the camera, but I got over that pretty quick. Yeah, I did call him up and I said, “You need me.” I did it for 20 years.   Sharon: That's sort of connected to this question. I didn't know how to phrase it, but it seems to me that a lot of stylists would come in and say, “I'm doing a 40s show. What do I need?” Does that ever happen, that you have a stylist come in?   Rosie: It happened a lot more before the pandemic. Whether things changed in that industry, I don't know, but yes, we had a lot of stylists or a magazine shoot. If they were doing a shoot, they would come in and pick out pieces. We used to rent our pieces, but we don't do that anymore because people just wouldn't return them. But yes, we get stylists. We would get theater seamstresses, the designers, the costume makers for theaters. We didn't get a lot of movie people in, but maybe this'll help. We can help them if they need us.   Sharon: Is it hard to decide what color or what kind of jewelry somebody should have?    Rosie: What I do is ask them about their lifestyle and what they want the piece for. I look at them. I see how they're dressed, how their hair is cut, and I can pretty well sus out if they're an edgy person or they're a modest person, kind of timid. We have tiny, little earrings, big, bold, down-to-the-shoulder dusters, and you can usually tell by talking to someone. Someone who's got nose piercings and whole-body tattoos, they're not going to go for something real mild.    You can pick up on their body language. That's helped me a lot, plus I encourage people to bring in outfits and put them on. It's like the Barbie doll thing, just dress them and put jewelry on. They can try it on, and if the necklace is too short, we can adjust things. We can change earrings. Most of our earrings are clip-on or screw-back. We can change them to pierced if they want. We do that with our jewelry, or we can do it with your jewelry.   Sharon: What's your return policy if they decide they want to take it home and try it?   Rosie: They get a store credit.   Sharon: A few of the pieces don't work. Maybe it's your daughter who told me that something wouldn't work. I can't even tell the stone apart from the original stones. How do you decide that? How do you decide if it's going to work? Can you tell us about some of the pieces that haven't worked, where you've had to come back to somebody and say, “I can't find anything”?   Rosie: Some of the older stones, I would say pre-1910 to the late 1800s, a lot of those stones, I can't find. I've taken stones out of pieces. I try very hard. If the piece comes in and the stone I'm matching is slightly discolored, I'm not going to put a brand new, shiny stone in its place. I will try to find in my pile of stones one that is slightly discolored. I try very hard to match it.   But, yeah, there are times when we just can't fix a clasp or it's in a place that's too thick for us to solder or the thread is so weak and the restringing cost is prohibitive. We do understand sentimental value. We try to let people know that we appreciate what they have and we understand. It doesn't matter to us if it cost 25¢. If it's important to you, it's important to us. So, if we honestly can't fix it, we tell them, “No, we can't fix it. We can't help you.”   Sharon: How did you get your inventory? You have quite an inventory of stones that you can put in pieces.   Rosie: 40 years. I do have a source for new stones. Sometimes I'll even go to Etsy and try to find something, but I've taken a lot of stones out of pieces. There have also been people through the years—like there was a lady who made earrings that sold in Nordstrom. Her name was Nellie, and she called me up and said, “I'm going out of business. Would you consider buying some of my stones?” That kind of thing. Jewelry stores have back inventory. When they close, I love to go in and dig around in their storerooms.   But I can't buy stones that are unfoiled. I don't do a lot of that because if you glue an unfoiled stone in, the foil is what makes a rhinestone shine. It's like a little mirror. So, if it has no foil on it, I can't really use it. A lot of stones out there have no foil backing, and I can't use those. But most of time, it's just here and there. People hear about me, or they have a hobby or they know somebody who's fixed their own jewelry and they're wanting to sell. I'll look and see what they have, and I'll pick and choose what I might use.   Sharon: Did you have any reservations about opening this kind of store in Seattle?   Rosie: No. I had it all over the kitchen table, and my husband said, “Hey, you'd better start a business because this has taken over our house.” I had no idea how to do it, but all I needed was the license. I shared space. Actually, right next door to where my shop is now, I was in the front of her store. I just had a desk and some jewelry behind me.    Now, this is a really good story. Again, my background is television, but I also have a degree in advertising and public relations. So, I printed up business cards and marched into I. Magnin and Frederick & Nelson and the major boutiques in downtown Seattle. I said, “This is what I do. I can help you,” and I walked out of every place with something to repair. That gave me street cred, so I could say, “I repair jewelry for I. Magnin or Nordstrom.”    I've never been afraid of talking about my abilities to do what we do and that we do it well, and I've always been true and honest and open to my customers. I learned that from my parents. That's how they ran their business. I started with very little cash. I didn't get any loans. It was a bootstrap business, and it's grown to what it is. I'm very proud of it.   Sharon: As I was putting these questions together, I kept asking myself, “What are you doing in Seattle?”   Rosie: Why in Seattle? I just ended up where I was.    Sharon: It's a nice place, but I wouldn't think of it as the first place I'd open anything.   Rosie: We're busy enough. There's a lot of money in Seattle and there are a lot of people. They might dress in Gore-Tex or flannel or whatever, but they like a little bit of bling. The thing is it belonged to grandma or Aunt Masie or somebody, so it's sentimental. It's not always something they're going to wear all the time. I don't wear jewelry all the time, but it's something you look at and hold and treasure. I wanted to preserve that for people.   Sharon: You don't wear jewelry all the time. That's interesting. I don't have jewelry on today. A lot of times I realize I don't have any jewelry on. People used to say, “Well, you're the kind of person who wouldn't go out without earrings.” Do you stop and put on a vintage piece?   Rosie: Well, I'm not an earring girl. I wear rings, watches, necklaces and brooches. Usually, I only wear them when I'm in the shop or if I'm giving a talk, a lecture. I do a lot of lecturing for groups about the history and culture of rhinestones. Sometimes I'll even dress totally vintage, the shoes, the hat, the dress, the jewelry, usually from the 40s. That's what my era seems to be. This is a 50s, 60s necklace I have on. Of course, when I did the Roadshow, I always wore jewelry and people loved it. I would get so many emails, “I love your jewelry. That's cool.”    Sharon: I always say something. If he's watching the show, “Oh, it's Rhinestone Rosie.” I can see why the jewelry gets attention.   Rosie: Oh, yeah.   Sharon: Do you collect anything?    Rosie: I didn't start as a collector. I started as a merchant, so my collection is just based on what I learned about. Since I did so much lecturing, I liked to have a piece of almost every major name that I could show to people. I do have that type of a collection. For some reason, I collect vintage watches. I have maybe 50 watches. It's insane.    As far as jewelry, I think my whole collection is very modest because I purge occasionally. I find if I'm not wearing it, I will take it to the shop. We'll sell it, and people get excited when they find out it is something I have worn and loved. I don't mind doing it. I'm not afraid to separate myself from some major pieces. Right now, I'm more into the clean, modernist lines, a lot of metals. Mexican 40s jewelry I really like to wear. Usually my clothes are very simple, one color, and then the jewelry is the standout part of it.   Sharon: Do you think that older Mexican jewelry is included in modernist?   Rosie: In what?   Sharon: In modernist?    Rosie: Oh yes, they were influenced by it greatly. In the 40s and 50s, some of that jewelry is –   Sharon: It is beautiful.   Rosie: Yeah, I would say it's definitely influenced by a modernist approach, yes. It shows in the Pre-Columbian and the Spanish people that came over, but that's what makes it intriguing. Look at Georg Jensen. You can have that flow, that feel in the 40s Mexican pieces. I have seen new designers make pieces that take my breath away. They're crazy, like things that wrap around your neck and stand out, nothing I could possibly wear, but I certainly appreciate.    I don't know what we would call today's costume jewelry. This term came about because Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli, they made costumes. Their clothing was costume, and they said, “It needs something.” So, the jewelry that went with it, the term costume jewelry came from that happening.   Sharon: That's interesting. What if they had made it out of real pearls and real gold?   Rosie: Chanel combined both. She wasn't afraid to wear costume and fine jewelry at the same time. As matter of fact, the word rhinestone—the best costume or stones came out of Europe, near the Rhine River. The first piece of rhinestone was a water-washed piece of crystal that came from the Rhine River. So, the name rhinestone has become ubiquitous, like Kleenex or anything like that. It is actually from a piece of crystal from the Rhine River, because the best stuff still does come out of Europe.   Sharon: That's interesting.   Rosie: They make the very best. Certain brands or names in costume jewelry use these incredible stones. You just can't find them anymore. They don't make them anymore.   Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website.

Most of us like a good story. I have found that the best stories are those that draw us in with emotion. They're usually about relationships and often contain a story within a story. I've got one of those for you today that I'm pretty sure you're going to like.  Welcome to You Were Made for This If you find yourself wanting more from your relationships, you've come to the right place. Here you'll discover practical principles you can use to experience the life-giving relationships you were made for. I'm your host, John Certalic, award-winning author and relationship coach, here to help you find more joy in the relationships God designed for you.

The episodes are organized chronologically and are also searchable by topics, categories, and keywords. Today's relationship story The story I want to tell you today comes from a listener response to my recent August 8th email to those on our email list. The email was about that line I love from the PBS TV show, Call the Midwife,  “We learn most when we listen to others” Linda Crouch, a retired missionary now living in North Carolina, wrote to tell me how she's come to appreciate the great value of people listening to one another. I was so fascinated by what she had to say and the story she told that illustrated the value of listening, that I thought it would make a great podcast episode if I interviewed her. Linda graciously agreed to the interview that you'll hear in just a minute. As you listen, I'd like you to see if you can identify the predominant emotion in the story. The relationships you'll hear about are pretty obvious. But see if you can pick up on the emotion that makes hers a great story. And then also, what do you hear as the story within her story? See if you can pick that out. So let's get into it right now. [I know some of you prefer to read rather than listen to what comes next, but I'm sorry there is no transcript of this best stories episode.] Why today's story is one of the best stories I've heard in a while I don't know about you, but what Linda just shared is one of the best stories I've heard in a while.  What an amazing thing she did in organizing a trip for her children and grandchildren to go back to a place where she and her  husband spent almost 4 decades of their life. It's where her kids grew up and where it formed such an important piece of her identity, and there's as well.  She could have gone by herself, but she wanted her children to go back with her to experience the joy she experienced. I'm not going to do this, but it would be oh-so interesting to interview 1 or 2 of her adult children, and the same with a couple of the grandkids. To hear how this trip impacted them. Another thing that made this one of the best stories I've heard this year is listening to Linda describe the joy she felt in returning to Nigeria with her family. This is the predominant emotion I heard. Joy. I also love how she talked about “the joy of resilience.”  What a breath of fresh air to hear this perspective. And then there was her motive in going back, to say “thank you” to the people she worked with in Nigeria whom she and her husband Jim worked with and ministered to. I love that.  Just recently we hosted a missionary couple who retired this year after 50 some years working in a camping ministry who have been taking a “thank you tour” across the US. They're meeting with those who have supported them for all these years and who made possible the work they were called to. All to say “thank you” for their faithful support. What a great idea. The story within the story Finally, what made this one of the best stories I've heard this year is the story within Linda's story. It's the story of Meg and how she blessed Linda by being such a good listener to her sharing her story. For me, that was quite a powerful story within a story. I loved how Linda described the way Meg entered into her story and even though she was a missionary herself, she practiced that great line that Linda quoted, “Be stingy with your own story” when listening to others. What a great line, “Be stingy with your own story.”  May that be true of all of us when we are listening to others. If you got distracted and missed any of this may want to replay this part of the episode.  Because someone listened… I'll conclude by reminding you of that new feature we're trying out this season, Because Someone Listened… Send me an email, or fill in the comment box at the bottom of the show notes, where you complete the sentence because someone listened…  Describe a time when someone listened to you well and the impact it had on you.  Closing In closing, I'd love to hear any thoughts you have about today's episode. I hope your thinking was stimulated by today's show, to be part of someone's best story that they experience. For when you do, it will help you experience the joy of relationships God desires for you. Because after all, You Were Made for This. Well, that's it for today.

Kevin Roth began to play the dulcimer in 1972 at the age of thirteen and is now known for his dulcimer music for meditation. Back at age sixteen, he recorded his first album which immediately launched him into international fame. Between 1974 and 1984, Roth recorded ten albums, establishing himself as a prominent folk singer and dulcimer player. In 1984, Roth performed the theme to the PBS-TV children's show Shining Time Station. That project brought him to another new and much larger market. His friendship and collaboration in 2006 with Noel Paul Stookey, of the legendary folk trio Peter, Paul & Mary, further cemented Roth in American folk history. His career took him to concert and symphony stages around the world, to festivals, radio, television shows, and two appearances at the White House. Roth now guides individuals and groups in discovering what truly matters to them, how to accomplish their goals, and how handling stress is an essential factor in a healthy life.

He mentioned how normal feelings like anger and frustration come up for everyone, but he doesn't let them control him. He compares these feelings to bubbles that pop quickly. He believes that these feelings aren't real and that he doesn't need to get stuck in them. Kevin explained that when people believe their thoughts, they can suffer, even in simple situations like waiting in line for coffee. He gave an example of someone cutting in line. He pointed out that maybe they're just waiting for coffee and not intentionally trying to skip the line. Mindfulness, according to Kevin, is recognizing that these thoughts come and go, and we don't have to give them too much importance. Thoughts might be there one moment and gone the next. He shared a story about a person who disliked her boss and had to talk to her on the computer for a short time every Monday. Kevin helped her realize that she only spent a small part of her workweek dealing with her boss, but she was carrying negative feelings about her all the time. Kevin found it surprising how we do these things without even realizing it. He believes that mindfulness can help us become aware of our thoughts and emotions and not let them control our feelings and actions. Thoughts on Breathing My advice is to just keep breathing; just keep doing it. I don't do any breathwork because I don't personally need it.

To spotlight seven diverse Hoosiers who, amid great personal sacrifices, served in World War I, Hoosier History Live will feature as guests the Bloomington-based director and a producer of a new documentary that features them. Six soldiers and a nurse from Indiana are the focus of "Over There: Hoosier Heroes of the Great War", which is expected to be shown on various PBS-TV stations across Indiana by the end of the year. The Hoosiers featured in the documentary by Blue Ace Media include some who were killed on battlefields in France, often amid acts of outstanding bravery. Maj. Samuel Woodfill (1883-1951), who was born on a farm near Madison, Ind., received multiple accolades for his heroism, including the Medal of Honor, and likely would have become a nationally known public figure but, as a shy and modest man, did not like attention. Lottie May Berry (1888-1917) left a comfortable life in Indianapolis to become a nurse overseas for the American Red Cross; she died shortly after arriving in France. Lt. Aaron Fisher (1892-1985), who grew up in the historic African American community of Lyles Station, Ind., was acclaimed for multiple acts of courage in an infantry regiment in the U.S. Army, which was segregated during World War I.

An upcoming PBS TV series explores our impact on the world around us, and how we can better coexist with our global environment.
