Silver stock and Cherry Blossom components stolen on 4-16-2011
Last night my car was broken into, and my purse and silver stock were stolen from my trunk while it was parked in Boston, MA. While I don't hold out much hope for recovering my silver sheet, wire, and findings, if anyone happens to see my copper enameled 4 petaled Cherry Blossoms anywhere (they were in white, periwinkle blue, purplish pink, coral, and navy blue) could you let me know? (I have a glimmer of hope because they're more recognizable than a piece of silver sheet!) I hadn't sanded their edges yet, so they'd look a little different than the finished ones in my hoop and drop earrings. There were also a few silver enameled Cherry Blossoms, in light pink, light purple, bright turquoise blue, and teal green. I don't know what a thief would do with little enameled metal flowers, but you never know--maybe they'll try to pawn them with the silver. I've filed a report with the Boston Police Department, so it'd be wonderful if we turned up any leads!
I know it's a long shot, but I'd really appreciate hearing from you if you do think you see some. Thanks so much for the support everyone! You've been wonderful...and please don't keep anything you wouldn't want to lose in your trunk!!
