Hello Weekenders,

This year at the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholder’s Meeting, we were lucky enough to have Bill Gates swing by our Borsheims shopping day for a little bridge. I thought that I would share a few photos of Mr. Gates with you.

Mr. Gates played for several hours, most of the time with Bridge Professional Bob Hamman.

Best wishes and safe travel home from Omaha.

Hello Weekenders,

I just wanted to put a quick post to say thank you to everyone that I met during my Berkshire Weekend. Everyone that I got a chance to talk to was very friendly. I can’t imagine spending the Berkshire Hathaway weekend with a better group of people.

I am pictured above, so if you see me out next year and have any event questions, please just say hi. Also, I am always looking for more story ideas. What was your favorite part of the Berkshire weekend? What stories did I miss? Please drop me a comment or e-mail with your ideas and I will try to write about those next year.

See you next year,
Bill, the blogger

P.S. A special thanks to everyone at Borsheims for making me feel so at home during the Berkshire Weekend. You were all great.

Hello Weekenders,

Thanks for coming out to our Berkshire weekend festivities at Borsheims. I wanted to take this post and highlight a few of the fun festivities that I didn’t get a chance to cover over the weekend.

During the hustle and bustle of the weekend, I didn’t get to write about two really cool shows available at the Borsheims shopping day on Sunday.

First, the magician Norman Beck came back this year to entertain the crowd with his famous card tricks and close-up magic.

Second, this year we were lucky enough to have two-time U.S. chess champion Patrick Wolff. he was just amazing. He played six chess games at once, completely blindfolded. Oh, and he won every game.

If you get the chance to visit us for next year’s Berkshire Weekend, please stop in an check out all the attractions.

Best Wishes,
The Borsheims Team

Hello Weekenders,

This post is totally dedicated to the star of the Berkshire Hathaway show, Warren Buffett. I was able to get quite a few photos of Mr. Buffett over the weekend and I wanted to share a few of them with you.

Warren came to Borsheims this afternoon for a few hours of bridge with a few of his favorite partners. He played with Bridge Professionals Bob Hamman and Sharon Osberg, and a few Berkshire Shareholders.

Stay tuned to this blog for some exclusive Bill Gates photos. To check out and download all our photos for free, check out the Borsheims Photos Page.

Hello Berkshire Weekenders,

This year at Borsheims, we are offering a variety of jewelry that you have not seen at our store before. We have several new lines of jewelry on display. Over the course of the weekend, we will highlight some of these new lines for you on this blog.

Lecil Henderson is celebrating his first year at the Berkshire Weekend with us this year. His special line of handmade, flexible gold bracelets and more is really amazing. Their flexibility is actually caused by 100 strands of microfine 18 carat gold wire.

Good Afternoon Weekenders,

Without a doubt, you have seen some amazing things this year at the 2009 Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder’s Meeting. Borsheims is proud to bring you another amazing item. The Tara Pearl Scarf and Vest set pictured above came into the store just yesterday.

This exquisite piece was originally produced for New York’s Spring Fashion Week and appeared in runway show by Carmen Marc Valvo. This one-of-a-kind piece is crafted from Tahitian Pearls, Freshwater Pearls, Black Swarovski Crystal and white metal.

The pearl vest and scarf combination is currently for sale at Borsheims. One third of the proceeds from the sale of this item will be donated to the Jewelers for Children charitable foundation. So, if you have a chance, I would encourage you to stop by the Tara Pearl display area and check out this amazing piece of jewelry craftsman ship.
