Here are a few photos I took today in Washington DC. It was a beautiful day in a wondeful city!

Since my "everything i do doesn't have to include lucite" revelation- I have been dying to work on this group of pendants. The idea comes from historic ornamentation that i have adapted, and scaled down to a wearable size.

These pieces arnt finished yet; they still need to be polished, tumbled and oxidized. When they are completed one side will be dark and the other size will be high polished silver, so they are reversible. Bonus! I have MANY more ideas along this line, and im excited to keep pumping them out!

I now offer a customized gift wrapping option on all orders I receive!!

In a time crunch? Don’t feel like wrapping a gift? Bad wrapper?? No problem…we’ll take care of that for you!! Your order will come in a in a traditional jewelry box that has wrapped in one of the beautiful papers shown, and tied with a lovely matching ribbon. There will be no receipt or price included in the order.

I will also include a gift tag with your name and special message (if you choose).
Please include any message you would like sent on the card, and address you would like your order to be sent too in the “notes to seller” section of checkout. Otherwise, all packages will be sent to the buyer.

Remember these pieces- my calligraphy initial pendants...

I have decided to put them into production! Next week the letters L, S, and C will be available for immediate shipping. All other letters are available as well, but will require 2 weeks for delivery!

Any other letter suggestions??

Another week has started, and surprisingly- Im looking forward to this one! I have so many new ideas swirling in my head, and i cant wait to work on them! Im bound and determined to get my catalog done this week, and apply to another handful of spring and summer shows. Also, Casey and I will both be celebrating our 25th birthdays this week, and im really looking to celebrating with family and friends over the weekend!!

I got 4 new silver frames made for my lucite pieces this weekend, but haven't had the time to rivet them together yet. Maybe tonight....!! But i did find time to make the earrings pictured above to match the floral framed pendant I made earlier this week. These aren't EXACTLY how i want them yet, but they will be available soon in my shop. Im contemplating some faceted stones dangling from the bottom, but haven't worked out the details on that yet.

Can you tell im thinking very seriously about planing a vacation.... Im SO ready for summer!!!

I'll try to post as often as possible, but I hope you all have a Happy Monday, and Happy St. Patricks Day too!

But... Im happy to say that i did squeeze some work time out of the weekend, and this is what i came up with! I LOVE the new idea, and cant wait to keep working with it, and fix some kinks. But you can count on a lot more work coming out of my studio in this style!

Here is a peek at some sketches of new designs that should be out soon! It feels SO good to be excited about new designs again, and im looking foward to getting them made.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend...dont forget to turn those clocks back tonight!

Yesterday I took the boys to Fells Point where i took this pic on my new AMAZING phone, and today we spent some time at the park.

Sorry I dont have more fun stuff to share, but hopefully soon...
