Truly One of a Kind

When Margaret Ellis first started doing jewelry professionally, she aimed at the fashion market, taking her work to New York. Over the years, it has been featured in every major fashion magazine and has been sold in Henri Bendel, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdaleís, Saks and many other specialty stores and galleries in this country, Europe, and Japan.

Gradually her work evolved from fashion pieces to jewelry that is more art-oriented. While she continues to do a production line in sterling silver, she focuses more on one-of-a-kind pieces in 22-karat gold, with unusual stones and pearls.

Margaret first started making jewelry in a corner of her living room. Now she works in a beautiful studio upstairs from Jive in Cummins Station.

After appearing on "Sex and the City" Margaret Ellis jewelry had a nice part in "The Devil Wears Prada" as well. They will also be seen in "Cashmere Mafia" on ABC. Her jewelry was seen at the CMA awards on the hot country act, Little Big Town, both on stage and the Red Carpet. Also, Eric Church, his wife Katherine and Tipper Gore can be seen wearing Margaret Ellis jewelry.

Say it ain't so...

One of our favorites, Kazu is closing soon to move in a different direction.

Tucked neatly into the corner of Cummins Station, Kazu Restaurant and Lounge has served as the ideal spot to begin the evening or wind down a long day. Maybe itís the light Asian based fusion that makes up the corner stone of the cuisine, or perhaps itís the full bar and warm and inviting decor - or it could be the fact that they're centrally located to everything else, for whatever reason Kazu Restaurant and Lounge has truly been one of Nashville's preferred locally owned dining and socializing destinations.

May 1st is your last chance to stop by for a great meal and drinks! Pull up a barstool and enjoy!

Thank you, Kaz!

"I have to say thank you for all the great work you do for us throughout the year. I especially want to thank you for being there when we needed you the most. Without you, we could have never had all the materials for our annual fundraising event, the Red Cross Breakfast.

We were down to the wire, your Jive team went above and beyond in designing and printing all of our materials. We had everything in time and it all looked amazing."
