Tassels...

Well another week has flown by and here is what I have been up to lately. You guessed it..."Makin' the jewelry"... and lovely tassels are the main features this week,
here's a peek....







I also was really inspired by some color combinations I saw in the recent Fall 2012 Lanvin runway show, and couldn't resist trying them in one of my new designs...




...and how is this cuff bracelet for an eye-catcher...

Take care mes amis, and have a lovely week ahead....Hope it's full of creativity!!!

Art In The Park...

Bonjour Blogland!! Well, I have had quite an action-packed week of jewelry design and getting ready for the "Art in the Park" show, here in my hometown. The show was an all day event that took place yesterday right across the highway from the beach in a cool little beach community, next door to the famous "Seaside". I had a great, fun-filled day seeing old friends and meeting up with new clients and lovers of vintage jewelry. I don't actually participate in many shows but I had such a great time meeting and talking with people yesterday, that there will definitely be more of these fun shows to come in the future. Here are some pictures of the show and some pieces that I made especially for this day...
























Some sweet vintage prayer card necklaces I made just for the show...



...these were so well received at the show, that they will also be available for purchase exclusively
here at my blog...


Some of the new pieces I made for the show will be available at my Etsy shop tonight. I will also have more pictures posted of them there also. Take care my friends and see you back here in a few days. Have a great week!!!!
