What's been keeping me busy!

Besides making jewelry for The Lovely Letter, this has been keeping me BUSY! I can't wait to show you more pictures of my kitchen remodel.

I am in the decorating stage and have decided to go with a natural and shades of greens palette. I really love Kristin Alber's (of Domestic Bliss and FOUND fame) home as seen HERE. Her home is lovely!

BEFORE: I forgot to take pictures of the "before" until into the process, I normally didn't have that much junk on my counter...sometimes...but not normally! ;)

AFTER: Painted cabinets, added crown moulding, new appliances...oohh and a farmhouse sink on the other side! Pics soon!

Jam is... oh so Lovely!

We are so very fortunate to be in the fabulous JAM Artisan's boutique in Old Town Scottsdale.

Owner Shauna Jean has created this amazing place, her mission:

To be a harmonious creative venue that blissfully stimulates the senses of its community members and visitors, providing top-of-the-line craft classes and fanciful event space for people living in and visiting Scottsdale, Arizona, while consistently being a space of infinite growth to seasoned and upcoming artists and providing a place where people come to be inspired and to inspire others, while always remembering to give back!

The boutique is filled to the brim with gorgeous jewelry (if I do say so myself!! lol), fascinating artwork, beautiful stationary, and incredible energy. They hold classes daily too!

I cannot express how blessed I feel to be apart of Jam and to call Shauna my friend!

If you are ever in the Old Town Scottsdale area, you must pay a visit to this quaint spot. You'll be glad you did! :)

Doing BIG things!

"Smile with your eyes" is the quote from Americas next top model that my nieces and I giggled about on our way to make the 1st attempt to "model" our jewelery. As they tried to remember all that they had learned from Tyra, I made sure all of the necklaces looked just as good as the girls! We had such a blast getting ready to take the photos and picking out which new pieces we were going to wear for them :) The Lovely Letter is feeling inspired lately and we have been creating a boatload of brand new and exciting BIG jewelery. Above are some of the end results from our crazy modeling adventures (you can find more on Facebook!)

We will be at the Queen Bee Market!

The Lovely Letter is heading to the Queen Bee Market in Del Mar, CA! We are very excited about this boutique! I can't wait to meet all the So Cal ladies!

If you are in the area, come see us!

Our 100 fans Facebook drawing!

Here is how it all went down! My boys drew the numbers for me, each # went with each comment. Of course, the Lovely Letter comment #'s were not entered! :)

My boys each drew one number. They were very excited! They wanted to know all about the winners and what they would choose. They are funny kids!

Congratulations Joni Abbott Kwong & Stacy Davis Berger! My kids and I can't wait to see what you choose from the Lovely Letter! :)

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

For the entire month of October, the breast cancer awareness ribbon necklace will be on sale! For $23.00 you can show your support for the cause! I will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Let's make a difference Ladies!

Pumpkin Cupcakes...Yes, Please!!

This recipe made me giddy! Pumpkin, maple, and cream cheese...oh my! When fall temperatures show up here in AZ this will be the first thing that I bake! Find the recipe {HERE}!

We Have A Winner!!

To decide a winner I decided to pick a name out of a bowl. My 4 year old son was in charge of this undertaking. He was very excited!

He wrote on all the strips of paper, folded, put them in the bowl and shook it up. He was very pleased with his "job well done"!

He drew out of the bowl and chose....drum roll please....comment # 6: mjashby4, who said:

Savvy Sale - Update

I did the Savvy Sale this past weekend.

It was great!

I am looking into the M7 sale, which is in downtown Phoenix in the old Melrose district.

Here are some of my pictures from the sale.

Etsy site is up and running!

Today I loaded my Etsy store. I am one of a few people who are selling wax seal bracelets. I am very excited about it and hope it goes well. Wish me Luck!!

Here are a few pictures of my recent work. I LOVE the bracelets. Chunky bracelets are the BEST!! :)

New fired clay pendants!!!

Here is a picture of my new fired polymer clay pendants/charms. I will add these to chains and toggle link bracelets. They are coming out so cute and can't wait to show them off and my upcoming show and my (almost ready) Etsy site!!

2/16 UPDATE: My polymer clay pendants have been put on hold for a few weeks. Although I love them. I am having problems finding the right paint. So until then, metal it is! :)
