Happy New Year!

Hello everyone and happy new year - I hope 2007's dust has some fond memories in it and I hope 2008 is good to everyone.

I have to thank my wonderful customers for all your support over the last year. It's really been amazing and I'm looking forward to growing and serving everyone even better.

It's absurd to me, with a windchill of -5F out there, that I'm working on spring, but there you go. It would be pretty remiss of me not to be thinking ahead to my spring line at this point. I guess Valentine's day serves as a nice transitional moment in the jewelry design calendar and I just added some really sweet little pieces for valentine's.



This beauty is made from a vintage brass cage locket and a vintage plastic rose cabochon - so sweet. It's available at my etsy shop. Just the perfect valentine item - the chain and the rings and the clasp are all 14K gold fill so you don't have to feel cheap-ass about it.

This is a fun item - the globe spins. Yes it's vintage, so are the brass leaves. It's some kind of silver mystery metal, but it looks like it's in good shape. The axis seems to be reddened brass or copper. Really a nice item and fun to work with - I don't think I'll have many of these.
