I’ve loaded some new pieces to Etsy last week while reviewing what I have in stock. Anything created since then will debut at Platt-A-Palooza on August 30 and make their way to Etsy after that (if it doesn’t go home with someone). My newly loaded pendants include Lime-Green Abstract Circle, Peace be with You, Write in […]

Before my 3-day escape last week I did a photoshoot for Etsy. This week I loaded more inventory onto the shop, as I explore other venues to display and sell my work. Draw was inspired by the fabulous pencil handler Lauren Levato-Coyne. She taught me how to draw, and her friendship has drawn me into […]
I took a little road trip this week to clear my head. It’s nice to do a re-set when home and internal changes are churning. The good news is that you get to call dibs on the pieces on Facebook through the weekend. Next week they’ll be up on Etsy for a wider audience to […]
Before the Independence Day festivities I had some fun at Aurora Rose Boutique. Mannequins were adorned with my pieces. I might play with a scarf pendant necklace in the Fall. I set up for my trunk show there with a pretty and whimsical view. Having extra surfaces to display my wares was nice, as well […]
I’ve been reviewing my inventory and adding some new pieces over the past two weeks. Next Saturday I’ll have my only summer show in Lemont, an indoor trunk show at Aurora Rose Boutique. The fun starts at 1 and goes until 4, though I will probably hang out open to close. Aurora Rose is doing […]
Recently an article made the rounds that taking selfies is an indicator of narcissism, which made ponder my Pendants of the Day shoots. Incidentally, as I typed ‘selfies’ my spell checker changed it to ‘selfless’, irony upon irony. Infinite Rainbow Collar I will cop to having a slight Facebook addiction, but that is also the […]
Mother’s Day is nigh (May 11 in the U.S., Netherlands and Germany) and I am taking custom orders. I’ve had a few requests for birthstone jewelry, and now is the time to message me if this is something you would like to honor your mother with. Based on your family members’ birth dates I will […]
I recently visited Norridge for a Trunk Show that was a lot of fun. The sign makes me think of The Wedding Singer. It was my biggest display table yet, so I had to take two shots to get it all in. Fellow Network of Entrepreneurial Women member Marianne was there with Melaleuca and her […]
Spring is finally creeping into the Midwest. All the snow has melted and some flowers are beginning to emerge. I cleared my workspace one evening, cleaned my tools and got creative. The sunshine and longer days drew me into the studio several times and I’ve enjoyed shaping and embellishing the wire into my vision. This […]
I teased my Facebook Fans with pieces last week that haven’t made their way onto Etsy, but are being uploaded now. I wore the pencil pendant out to NEW’s Women’s History Month event, along with Swirly earrings. Green-ish pieces were featured on two occasions. I wore the turquoise-wrapped spiral earrings and the Knitter’s Delight scarf […]
