You love Dune Jewelry so we know you’ll love the team behind the name. We’re so excited to have you get to know us better. Introducing Sandy McCahill…<\/p>\n

Name?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sandra but everyone calls me Sandy<\/p>\n

\"custom<\/a><\/p>\n

What would you sing at Karaoke night?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Time Warp from Rocky Horror, Tiptoe Through the Tulips, or an old jazz standard.<\/p>\n

\"custom<\/a><\/p>\n

What would you want for your superhero power?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The power to be totally present in multiple places at once. (and to remember it all later as separate times)<\/p>\n

Do you play an instrument?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes! I play the flute and dabble in tin whistle and other small flute-like instruments. I used to play the Highland Pipes.<\/p>\n

\"custom<\/a><\/p>\n

Star Wars or Star Trek?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Star Wars (as long as you exclude the prequels)<\/p>\n

Hike or bike? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Hike<\/p>\n

Kindle or paperback book? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Paperbacks always. I’m old-fashioned.<\/p>\n

What three words describe you? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Creative, brave, and drive<\/p>\n

Do you have pets? <\/strong><\/p>\n

No, but I get visitation to a dashing black cat named Louis Vuitton.<\/p>\n

What’s the one thing you can’t live without? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Music.<\/p>\n

What’s your ‘death row’ meal?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spicy chili, corn bread with honey butter, lemon meringue pie, and apple pie.<\/p>\n

What kind of music do you listen to while you\u2019re working? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Ragtime, early jazz, classical, punk, lounge jazz, and 80s synth\/New Wave. I usually have online casinos<\/a> or a crossword open in another tab too.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favorite piece of Dune Jewelry and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite piece at Dune is the Marina necklace<\/a>. It is one of the most versatile and easy to wear pieces at Dune. I can dress it up and down with whatever I wear with it. The bold size and the simplicity of the shape really let each sand speak for itself, in both texture and saturated color.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"custom<\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favorite beach sand?<\/strong> Have you ever been there? Why do you love it? <\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite sand is the black sand of Wingaersheek Beach in Gloucester, MA. I have never been there. It’s purely an aesthetic reason: I love the black color with the silver shimmer. It goes with effortlessly with everything I wear.<\/p>\n

\"custom<\/a><\/p>\n

Favorite quote \/ words you live by: <\/strong><\/p>\n

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some humor, and some style.”<\/em><\/p>\n

~Maya Angelou<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
