A Lil' Somethin'

I thought it was due time that I make myself something new and exciting. I have had these weird snake charms for a while now and havent done much with them. I had a brain wave the other day in the shower that I wanted a gold & copper necklace for my Folk Fest wardrobe this past weekend. While I waited for the concert to start, I quickly whipped this number up before running out the door.... I quite like how these crazy lil' charms all turned out!

Calling all jewelry horses

If you're anything like me, you have a million necklaces in a heap in your bathroom or the top of a chest of drawers. You have earrings hanging off of cup lids, nails, basically any surface that can handle them. Sure, I have seen the jewelry trees but I long for something more unique.... and then I find this little gem of an idea on the This Is Glamorous blog the other day and my head practically exploded. Now, why didn't I think of that? Off to Value Village I go for some old discarded frames!

Wedding Head Chain

I made this for my friend Danielle for her sister's wedding. Danielle was a bridesmaid and wanted a little glam for her hair. I brought it over to her house and discovered this giant box of makeup with about 300 eyeshadows and lipsticks in a big black case. Needless to say I started getting a little "Mimi" from The Drew Carey Show so I had to bleed all the colours out of these photos so as to not frighten anyone. I didn't manage to get a good photo of the actual head chain, but you get the idea. I'm mostly doing special orders for these daisy chains at the moment, so please email me if you're interested!

Pictures from Market Collective

I got an email the other day from the wonderful gals over at the Boyhood Uniformity blog. They managed to snap a few photo's at the Market Collective of some of the artists at the show. Much to my surprise, Millicent made the cut! Here are Danielle and I manning my table and a great shot of the sun showcasing some of the feather earrings. I kept telling people I wanted to be a cat and curl up in the sun patch myself.... some people laughed, other people looked at me like I escaped from the asylum. Oh well, if they bought some goodies, then they can call me whatever they like!
Thanks so much to Jane & Emily for remembering a camera and taking some photo's! Go to their blog to check out other shots from the show!

Jewelry Party!

I remembered to bring my camera, but I only remembered to take photo's in the final hour... as you can see Trina is tired and Russell desperately wants us to leave.

Highlights include, but are not limited to; me managing to eat half a wheel of brie cheese (obviously making it a great night), Kolby & Carly singlehandedly accounting for over 50% of my nights earnings, and constantly mistaking the feathers falling from the giant dream catcher as earrings on the floor.

Thanks so much for coming!

( & many thanks to Frannie for hosting!)
