The fabulous Ecostiletto

Noaki Jewelry's homepage and a lovely write-up of my combs is featured on Ecostiletto under this week's "Fashion" posting!

If you haven't heard of it Ecostiletto is an absolutely fantastic website for ladies who like to stay fashionable and green. And, best of all, you can sign up and receive weekly musings and advice on beauty, health, home, kids, etc...

Here's what they had to say:


Be sure and visit the site and check out my discount offer!

It's been a loooong time.....

Ok. So I don't even know where to begin -- it's been sooo long since I last posted anything. I do, however, have a good excuse. I'm pregnant! With a girl! The first trimester was tough. In between bouts of morning sickness I got pretty sick and was basically told that I really need to cut back on my activities and relax for the baby. It really didn't take much convincing, I was so exhausted. So I put down my jewelry tools for a time to completely recover. That said, I'm finally back to my old self and have been posting a bunch of a new pieces to my etsy site and website!

Here's a little peek:






Anyway, thanks so much to those of you who were so patient and understanding with me when I couldn't accept any custom orders.

Wedding Site

So my sister has picked a site. She and her fiance wanted to go for something fun and unexpected, so after visiting countless places decided to get married at the Santa Barbara zoo! I'm already envisioning plenty of wedding jewelry for the brides and her bridesmaids in animal motifs. I've already found a stunning Deco era rhinestone encrusted peacock. Can't wait to share the pieces as they come along!

Election Day

Amazing.

A hunk of burning love

So the winner is....Elvis! My little guy looked so cute and was so excited about his costume that had a red cape, scarf and sequins. Definitely Elvis in his later years. Of course Blake had absolutely no idea who Elvis was but who cares! Baby Halloween costumes are for the parents right?

New banner

I'm so sorry for the sparse postings but I've just been scrambling to finish a bunch of custom orders and get enough pieces together to finally get my website up and running. I'm hoping to unveil it this week or next -- Yay!!!

It took months for me to come up with an image for my banner. I was obsessively looking everywhere for something that reflected that vintagey/beachy feel I've been going for -- and finally found it!! I'm still tweaking it but got so excited that I just wanted to post it. What do think? Any font suggestions?

Pumpkins!

So this weekend we went to a nearby pumpkin patch to pick up this year's jack-o-lanterns. It was just too cute watching Blake, my 2-year-old, running around looking for his pumpkin and going on the rides. I just melted watching him.

I was thinking of dressing him up as a bee this year. He has this puffy navy blue and orange vest that I thought I could pair with some black tights and tea strainers for the eyes. My husband wants us to do Elvis this year...Thoughts?

And, yes, that necklace is the "jewel leaf necklace" currently in my shop. I usually try and wear everything just once to make sure the piece hangs properly, the colors looks right and the piece doesn't have any weird wires poking out.
