It’s a small world …
Imagine the surprise when Elizabeth Blum Savetsky and Rhoda Bernstein ran into each other in New York City!
The chance encounter happened Tuesday night, Dec. 9, when Rhoda was in the Big Apple for a Hadassah event at the Rebecca Minkoff store, where a percentage of sales benefited The Hadassah Foundation.
Elizabeth was covering the benefit as a New York fashion blogger, as part of her ExcessoriesExpert.com blog.
Small world!

‘The Frisco Kid’
