Judith Leiber: Jeweled Handbags

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

Hello Weekenders,

Judith Leiber handbagsEvery year at Borsheims we welcome many of our jewelry designers and vendors to visit the store during the Berkshire Weekend. That way, as a shareholder, you have the chance to meet and chat with some of the best jewelry designers in the world. Each of these special vendors brings along thousands of exquisite pieces that will be on display exclusively during the Berkshire Shareholder’s Weekend.

I take a lot of photos of these stunning, special pieces and I will be sharing them this year in a series of posts Dazzling Gift Handbaghighlighting different jewelry vendors that have come to the 2010 shareholder’s meeting. In this post, I wanted to share some photos of the amazing Judith Leiber collection of jeweled handbags and pillboxes that we have on display this weekend. You may know Judith Leiber’s work from the Sex and the City movie, which featured a be-jeweled cupcake minaudiere. Judith Leiber pieces are always something special to see at Borsheims, but during the shareholder’s weekend we receive some exceptional pieces.

What is your favorite? The jewel-encrusted tomato, the black cat, the present? See more photos of fabulous handbags in this Judith Leiber photo set.

Hope you’re having fun,

The Borsheims Team

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Hello Berkshire Fans,

We just wanted to put up a brief post today highlighting some of the changes coming to the 2010 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting. Check out this document highlighting some of the changes.

2010 Changes Include:

-Table tennis is back (after a few years of hiatus, table tennis is back for the celebration)

-Shareholders are entitled to a maximum of 2 meeting credentials (change from 4 last year). Update: looks like Warren is allowing 4 credentials per shareholder again this year.

How do shareholders get their credentials?
Look for more information in the the 2009 Annual Reports that will be mailed in March. Included in the mailing will be the Proxy Statement. A perforated postcard will be attached to that Proxy. Fill it out and return the postcard to order your
meeting credentials.

Stay tuned for more information.

Best of luck and see you in May!
