Jewelry Displays
When we first moved into this house and I was faced with a LARGE, empty wall on "my side" of the bedroom, and I knew right away how I wanted to fill it up...
I'd seen people turn old type block trays into jewelry holders before, and had always loved the look and idea. Since I come across these old trays frequently when shopping, I figured it was a project I could tackle myself, and knew it would be the ideal solution for both organizing jewelry and filling up that large wall.
In order to have a place for all my necklaces I attached some hooks to the bottom of the tray. Isn't this collection awesome- most of the necklaces are from French Sentiments.

By using dark colored wire that I ordered off etsy, I made little rings from which I can hang all of my dangle earrings.
I decided to just lay all of my rings and stud earrings within the slots of the other tray. It's been so nice to look at all of the pieces I've designed and made over the years every time I walk by- like these earrings and rings. In order to have a place for all my necklaces I attached some hooks to the bottom of the tray. Isn't this collection awesome- most of the necklaces are from French Sentiments.
Of couse, once the trays were hung on the wall I had to decorate the top of them too. No ledge/shelf space goes untouched in this house!
Because of the super shallow depth of the make-shift shelf I've found myself placing many of the collages I've made on thin canvas panel up top. By varying the sizes and orientations of the collages I was able to some nice layering.

Flotsam and Jetsam
I have a fabulous shop to share with you today! It's called Flotsam and Jetsam, and is located in Kensington Maryland.
I was introduced the Stacey, the shop owner, through my mom and since our initial visit to the store earlier this year it has become one of my favorite shops EVER!
It seems Stacey has filled her shop with all the items that I love, and has put them together in the most fabulous ways! Everywhere you look there are wonderful treasures to be found.
I can't believe we didn't snag this old french wedding display when we were in last time. I'm kicking myself now!
Books, buttons, dress forms, jewelry, photographs, ephemera, birdcages, furniture... you can find it all at Flotsam and Jetsam!
You can also check out Stacey's blog here. You'll also find all the shop details here- it's a must see if your near the DC area!
Or, stop by Stacey's etsy shop!

Black and White Ring

Its been one busy, stressful, tiring week for me. Although I have to work today, and my weekend is cut short I was able to clean my apartment last night, (clean enough for me anyway...) and work in the studio this morning. I was feeling much better after a few hours of studio work, and was happy to complete this ring...
It is now available on my etsy store.

Im off to my real job for the evening, then a late dinner with one of my very talented best friends, Eliza. Check out her new blog right here!

workspaces
Two days in a row! Oh My!
I always like when people show shots of their work spaces, so today, I'm sharing with you a shot of my bench that was taken last night. This shot was taken of my workspace in my living room, and hopefully tonight i will be able to show you a shot from my studio downtown!

I recently got this amazing book called "Where Women Create". It showcases nearly 30 woman who are successful in their respected fields, and gives you a glimpse of their workspace. The book stresses the importance of having even the littlest area that is your own, and that inspires you to create. This is a topic I'm seeing pop up more and more lately, and its one that has caught my attention. With this being said, I have been working at making my spaces more interesting and inspiring! I have been trying to surround myself with things that generally put me in a happy or creative mood. As you can see, i have pictures of my mom and grandmother, wine bottle labels, design samples, note cards, product labels, and various other stuff around. Its still a work in progress, but its getting there. I'll keep you posted. 


These images are both taken from the book. I dont know about you, but i would kill for space like these. Maybe one day...

Here is a shot of one of my current projects. Im calling them the India Pillow Pendants. Some will be sterling, and some will be gold. My India line has been one of my favorites so far! I keep coming up with new ideas to include in the line, and variations on what i have already done. After the pillow pendants, get ready for some color to be introduced to the line!
