To honor Carrie Stanhope, the attractive and fashionable boarding house madam who plays a key role in the acclaimed new book Fifty-nine in ’84, She’s A Gem has introduced the Carrie Stanhope Collection, a new line of Victorian-style jewelry!

The Carrie Stanhope Collection will be on a display on June 5, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., at She’s A Gem, the hot new fashion accessories store at 21 South Street in Westborough, Mass., just off the Rotary.

Edward Achorn, author of the book, will help celebrate this fashion event by being on hand to sign copies of his book. You can pick up exquisite reproductions of pieces from Carrie’s era and get a personally autographed copy of Fifty-nine in ’84 — a wonderful and unique Father’s Day gift — at the same time!

Hollywood has expressed an interest in the new book, and Internet sites are buzzing with speculation about who might play the dazzling Carrie, the beautiful lady who had a torrid affair with Hall of Fame pitcher Old Hoss Radbourn and later married him. (Megan Fox, anyone?)

She’s a Gem is attracting women from throughout Central New England with beautifully selected “fashion accessories at girlfriend prices.”
