my curtains find a new purpose!

so besides brightening my day and keeping the peeping toms of 9th avenue away, my [favorite and only] ikea curtains are doing triple duty as the newest "display" for some of my pieces!




these babies are the ikea stockholm blad - get your very own here! i also covet this matching chair...sigh...

a few more pieces!

hiya friends!

so just two new pieces today, the product of trying to keep myself busy while watching american idol (c'mon anoop!!!)

  • the baubly boo necklace - so fun and will add a pop of color to summer dresses and flowy tops
  • fleur de lis earrings - as stated in the description of these babies, in an attempt to get them perffeeect, i hammered my finger - oy. i hope you enjoy the fruits of my labor and pain!
  • i made the first BOWie ring with my new 14kt gold filled wire. it's a little bit more difficult to work with but it's so worth it considering gold filled jewelry is meant to last a lifetime.
check everything out below!

as promised...

i've added some new pieces today!
  • finally, another hair flower - just in time for spring!
  • the darling earrings, my boyfriend really likes these and i have to admit i'm also sort of obsessed! be forewarned though, i'm down to my last three pink/coral mystery teardrop stones, sighhhhh
  • the jumble ring - a chunkier ring than my others and really earthy and fun
Anddddd.....my 14k gold filled and sterling silver wire just came in from another etsy seller today! The lady ring and BOWie ring will now be made with these to ensure the best of quality for all of you! I've also decided to make the BOWie ring in a thicker gauge for those of you worried about the fragility of the original one, so keep an eye out for that!
