I'm dreaming of a white Summer?

Huge flakes of snow were falling out of the sky as I woke up this morning.  Not even kidding!  Great piles of snowflakes started to accumulate on my grape hyacinth, my tri-colored beech is heavy with snow.  What is going on here- its May 24th???





I have had dozens of calls from friends who are beyond sad about this mornings surprise.  I am considering this really great luck as I am supposed to be designing winter/spring jewelry right now. 

I know what you are thinking, thats about as crazy as snow in the summer! Magazines want your jewelry four months before the magazine hits the grocery store.  Catalog and large stores want your gems as many as 8 months before the catalogs actually make it to your mailbox. 







Two pieces from our new snowflake collection. 


So as you are dying to get in to your cute flip flops, I have to make winter jewelry!  Its a lot like snow on May 26th!

I Hate Playing Volleyball!

I cant believe I said it, but its true. I love to watch it but I hate to play volleyball!  I will give you two guesses why??????

                                                        +



                                                          +

I love the tall, strong ladies. 
I love the swimsuits and sun.
I love love love the tans.

But seriously, it takes me 5 minutes to get all the bracelets off my arms, and for my trouble what do I get?  Bruised arms. 
No Thanks! 

I will however,  take the sun the swimsuit and the tan!
Hello Summer!

A Big Stack of Stylish!

So we landed on a new summery blog header,  I am in love with it!  We like to hear what you have to say about.  Roxy the magnificent made this one, and of course included my signature armful of jewelry.

Here are a couple of other great armfuls for you to drool over.

A New Blog Header?

This blog is under going a few cosmetic changes.  I always feel like I need a new look in the spring, and It seems my blog is feeling a little laden down with last seasons blahs too.  At least that is what it told little miss Roxy today.  So Roxy the graphic genius- yes, that is her in the coon skin hat- is working on some new and really brilliant ideas.

This photo tells you a lot about Roxy, the hat signifies her unique personality, and her proper use of a seat belt shows you just what a conscientious person she is.



SO

What do you think of this new blog header?


Or are you missing this one?




We are in the process of updating the website too! Talk about being out of date- the poor little website is so 2004! It's so embarrassed it can hardly show it's face!  
 Can't wait for the unveiling 2 weeks and counting.....

Jewelry Trend- Wonder Woman


I like to stack- In fact I love to stack!!! But even I gotta say, It takes a special woman to rock the tiara, plastic earrings, large cuffs times two, and belt. Then put it all on wearing high boots, mile high hair, and a swimsuit. It takes a Wonder Woman!  Don't you just want to stick this photo on your mirror-  every day you could just look Wonder Woman in the eyes and say "you and me babe, we are going to take on the world".



Here is a cartoon my cute husband gave me.  I know, I know, he is so sweet! His cousin Brandon Dayton is an amazing cartoonist! Check out the cuffs on that gal!





Although Wonder Woman has never fallen out of fashion, her look is now very chic. Trend forecasters call it Warrior Princess, we know this look as Linda Carter, Wonder Woman.   Ever since I was little I've worshiped her jewelry. Tell me you didn't deflect "bullets" with your Wonder Woman bracelets?  Whadya use? Tin foil? Sweat Bands?  How about trying one of these big girl versions?









All from Amazon.com - Fitting!





Come on ladies, slap on your Wonder Woman jewelry on and go fight the bad guys!
