she is ready to begin her journey ....

Well , I am back from a very wonderful and exciting trip ..... the new friends I met there , Adam and Anna of Design and Countryhouse were the most gracious hosts !!! They are the most beautiful people inside and out .. and I felt as if I knew Anna for years which made it very hard to leave -She was so sweet and made us feel right at home - She took my mother and I to some wonderful flea markets in old barns
and to the "cookie castle" which was filled to the brim with amazing pasteries and treats .... we spent a day in the old part of Stockholm and the buildings and streets were full of inspiration, just feeling the history while walking along the cobblestone was amazing !!! not to mention all the architecture we saw ! we spent time at Adam and Anna's house which is beautiful ...... something you see in magazines (and yes it will be in a magazine soon )

the trip was far beyond what I could have imagined....So the word is out and I can share with you that I have partnered with Adam and Anna to bring the northern part of Europe (mainly Sweden,Finland , and Norway) my jewelry - they will be taking my jewelry to tradeshows there and will be distributing my jewelry to boutiques !! Its so exciting .... the only way I know how to describe what is happening for me is like having a baby ... and watching it grow and hoping that you have all the pieces in place to get to the next point .... I am sure as the journey continues I will have so much more to share !!
For now though I need to go pamper my hubby for the next couple days, he will be having surgery on his back and will need some TLC when he gets home !! I still plan to unveil all my designs in the next day or so too on the website ..... they were a huge hit this weekend at Art Unraveled and I was so blessed again to see so many wonderful friends and meet some new wonderful She's there, thank you to all who stopped in and said hello or took home a piece of my jewelry - its so fun to see your eyes light up when you find the perfect piece or saying!! I am truly blessed ..... Well until next time ....have a wonderful week...

She is getting ready ....

I have been very busy the past couple weeks getting ready for my Swedish Adventure, getting my new jewelry ready for Fall to share with you , and preparing some ideas for possible classes
that I would love to teach .... I have been so blessed and am so grateful for all of my wonderful support... words will never say what my heart feels .... thanks is never enough !! So while I am gone I have decide to take my webstore offline for a week while I freshen up the store - It will open August 11th back with LOTS and LOTS of new things , I also have plans for online trunk shows to get only one of a kind pieces!

SO if you are going to be in Phoenix on August 8th I will be at Art Unraveled selling my entire new line and new line of charms - so please stop by and say hi !!!! Would love to see you there !

Until next time !!

She loves her "new" studio....

I joined in on this little party "where bloggers create" in blogland hosted by My Desert Cottage- Wait until you see all the fab studios !!! So since we have moved into our new house I have made lots of changes - Constantly learning where to put my things so it will work for me until I can have my "dream" studio (which would be outside my home ) My old studio was featured in Cloth Paper Scissors Studios so
so i thought i would share also my old studio and my new one that way you can kinda see how things have evolved !!the photos above are my old studio - yes it had a lot of room - actually i had changed it quite a bit from the photo shoot but never got around to taking more pics - I moved the island against another wall and then had the table in the middle there to like in my new studio ! who doesn't love bling !!! i could never part with this box of treasures !!!
shelves full of lots and lots - In this house i had to build up so i bought storage shelves to put on top of my cabinets this time ! I will tell you though don't try to move ikea cabinets - it took almost a whole truck just to move my things for my studio -LOL and no i am not kidding ....
hope you enjoyed a little tour .... until next time ... have a wonderful weekend ... only 7 more days until i leave for my new adventure ... so the next week will be VERY busy ... I will see you when i return with lots and lots to share !!
