A few things...

Here are some pictures of supplies I've picked up lately. Most are just for restocking. I am trying to get ready for show in May and July.

I'm excited about this bottom strand of flower agate.

I decided to start buying my buttons from JHB rather than stalking local fabric stores. Of course I am still stalking Ebay and flea markets for the vintage ones though.

Posts waiting to be set. These will be going to OAK in Boston.


Just some pics of a weekend day, thought it would be fun to see how the day started and ended.
All those bezels have been made into necklaces and rings now and off to new homes.

Yesterday I restocked Handmade Galleries in Sherman Oaks. With some of their customer favorites. I also made it down to Santa Ana to the Grand Central Art Center to restock and refresh my jewelry there.

This is a new ring that I am keeping for myself. Isn't this a great vintage button find?

The best part of the day yesterday was my new haircut, it's back to super short and I couldn't be happier. I just need to take a picture sometime soon.

That's it for now, I just go back from my first jog with my new sneakers and am no happy to put my old ones to rest.

Out with the Old Sale!!

I've decided to discontinue a few styles and am putting them on sale on Etsy.
Check out my new sale section, I have a few more styles I will be adding.
The sale price is only good for the buttons I have in stock.
So once I sell out of the buttons I will no longer be making anymore.

The rings are all $35.00-$40.00 for a limited time!
And anything shown as a ring or necklace can of course be made the other way.

Packages for me...

My sister sent me this fantastic package. I ordered this fabric from her
Etsy store to make necklaces with. She made me a cool file roll, and pillow covers.
Of course she threw in some other cool items from Japan for me.


Hoover and Strong shipment. I have shows in May that I need to prepare for.

VivaLaModa

Check out this bi-monthly online magazine, VivaLaModa.
From their website, "VivaLaModa is a bi-monthly magazine created to show the greatest and coolest fashionable and hand made things that we can find. But we don’t want to talk only about fashion or beautiful stuff we find. This magazine will also host articles about green products, toys, decoration, product reviews and many more things.
We want to support indie designers and crafters who make things with their own hands (not to forget we also love vintage!), and give readers information about the handmade world."

They featured one of my necklaces, but the issue is also filled with other great handmade fashions!
