Winter, You've Overstayed Your Welcome

Winter is being a tenacious season on the East Coast this year. We're a week away from April, and snow is still in the picture! Spring, will you ever come? Despite the bleak picture outside my windows, and the lethargy that cold weather can bring, I'm plowing forward and creating, creating, creating for my spring/summer line. I shake my fists at you, Winter!

Okay, rant over. Now take a peek at these lovelies I've been working on. I hope these get you in the springtime mood, even if Mother Nature isn't cooperating!

A Little Boho Chic

I've been going a little Boho-crazy lately. Mixed metals, charms, buttons, antique brass--LOVE blending these things together in a beautiful mish-mash! My latest lovelies totally embrace the Boho Chic style (some mixed with a little nautical--what's a summer must-have without a little nautical?).

Check out the newest additions to the collection!

It's a Charmed Life: Part 2

I'm back after a bit of a lapse (shame on me!), but have been a busy camper creating more items for the Accessory Showcase collection. The newest additions are more handmade, one of a kind key charms! Great for adding some fancy to your keys or the zipper pull of your favorite handbag. I've hand selected delightful charms and glass beads and lovingly assembled them to create key charms that are truly special. Check these babies out!

Charmed Life

It's been a rainy, cool week in the Hudson Valley, and motivation has been low to do anything productive. Is it just me that wants only to curl up on the couch with a throw and some Ben & Jerry's when it's dreary out? With two kiddos, vegging is next to impossible. But, today I rallied and focused on getting some creative time in. I've been treasury-making on Etsy like a madwoman, and I've created three new key charms for my "Charmed Life" story in my shop. These charms also work well to adorn the zipper pulls on your favorite handbags. Check 'em out!

More Truly, Madly, Darkly

The Accessory Showcase midwinter story is coming along pretty nicely. It's literally my saving grace during these dog days of winter. Check out these necklaces for Truly, Madly, Darkly!

The other lovelies in the collection were completed last week. Take a look! Next on the agenda, the raven bracelet! More to come.
