I would like to take a minute to introduce you to Marion, the Adventurer in Pearls

Marion is woman of grace. A woman of class. She is the woman who when I was young I would have looked up to in awe. I still look up to her in awe and hope that someday I can have just a smidgen of her in me.
She was always presentable. She woke each morning and dressed in fashionable clothes. She kept up with times and ensured she dressed it. She always had jewelry on and most often a scarf. Nice shoes and perfectly curled hair. If you really paid attention you could smell her fragrance, always clean, always floral. Her nails and hair were done weekly and it showed. She was beautiful, stunning, a woman through and through.

She had presence and beauty. She stood and walked tall. When she entered a room you saw her. Beauty and grace.
As fancy as she was she always knew how to enjoy a party. She loved her Chardonnay. She also loved beautiful old music. She was funny. She would make jokes and razz people.
She had a beautiful home surrounded in my favorite things…real leather bound books. They were so beautiful and she was so proud of them. It was only fitting that we also offer our little place as a getaway for authors.
She loved her husband, Sparkie, and took care of him his entire life. He also loved Sun Valley and all things fishing. Especially the fish “tales”.

She adventured in life. She is the adventurer in pearls. She traveled with her husband, she spent time with her family. My husband spent a lot of time with her in his youth at their place here in Sun Valley.
I am so thankful for her example. She showed me that we can be bold and beautiful. Smart and humble.
This little place in Ketchum brings us so much closer to Marion who passed away a few years ago after life so rich in living. She introduced us to Sun Valley and we want her memory to live on there…for all of us!
So to all you classy ol’ broads. I know the best! Take a lesson….. and enjoy your stay!
Sincerely,
MeriAnn
