For any of you TV watchers out there, if you happened to be tuned in to ABC's October Road last night, you saw one of Jocelyn's most popular necklaces on the lovely Laura Prepon who plays Hannah Daniels on the show. Very exciting times. We hope to instill in Laura and her stylist a very high level of devotion to my designs.

Speaking of devotion to my jewelry, if you find yourself near a Nordstrom and needing one of my necklaces like a TV star, you're in luck. jocelynbroyles is now being carried by select Nordstrom department stores across the US.

But enough about me. Oh, wait, the sole pupose of this blog is to tell you about us. Alright then. Steve continues to do well with his business and just moved BBA into a larger space, giving both Bs their very own offices. The As still share the space out front, but it's a bigger, nicer, better-painted space. They also now have a lovely conference room and inner lobby for literature, dogs, un-raised signage, that sort of thing.

And low and behold, the 20th (yes, I meant 20th) century has come to BBA as well, with the installation of a phone system. For those of you who have visited or live here, you understand the all-encompassing range of issues that a system implies: coordination with perhaps more than one governmentally-run utility company; more than one phone; more than one phone line; electricity. Getting all these things together in the same building, with people who know how to install (much less use) the system, while the electricity is on and the phone lines working to test the system, is no easy feat. But BBA pulled through with flying colors and now has a phone system that almost works. You can't actually leave voice mail at the moment if no one answers, but that's really just picking nits, isn't it?

We've mostly been working as of late -- you don't get phone systems, and famous people don't wear your jewelry, and Nordstrom doesn't buy it, if you just sit around looking at the ocean view from a friend's patio, playing with your dog, selling your Sandy for parts or relocating scorpions with young on their backs. But that's just what we did, and look what we accomplished in the meantime!

Did I mention famous people, phone systems and Nordstrom yet?
