Spring Summer 2009 trends
As a signed up newsletter member of Sheerluxe.com, I was delighted to receive the S/S09 trend report written by their very lovely Natalie Hughes. I was even more delighted when reading further that the demure is very much back this season. Natalie suggests (and I agree) that we ought to embrace our feminine side with ruffles, flounces and bows in blush-coloured chiffons.
This is great news for Mai Pearls fans as we have plenty of chiffon and blush colours for you all. What could be more feminine than pearl jewellery I ask you?!

An Zhengquan's letter
Here is the last of the translated letters from the students in south china who have been sponsored by Mai Pearls in their studies;
Dear Uncles and Aunties:
How are you?
Hopeful you are in good health and your jobs are going smoothly. I want to tell you something about myself. Although my family is very poor, we are all in good health, and we love each other, so I feel that I am the happiest one in the world. I am studying middle school and I believe things will be better through my struggles.
I want to share what happened three years ago. My father said to me, “How about staying at home? “Because the family’s situation is really hard”. I understood clearly what he meant, that is to give up my education and stay home to help out financially. Fortunately I heard that you would provide a scholarship for me, and this is the reason I am still here in school. Since the change in education policy, which relieves the burden on my family, my parents have bought some more learning materials and daily necessities for us. We still are saving money for my high school tuition. It is difficult to cover the cost of living, but I will try my best to borrow money to finish my study. And I must never be unworthy of our teachers' untiring teachings and my parents hope.
I'm much obliged to you for helping us and I can say nothing but thank you very much.
Yours Sincerely，
An zhengquan
This last letter marks the end of Fair trade week - until next year!
