My Right Brain

Sneak Peek - Trunk Show Goodies

I am really excited for tomorrow, and even though I didn't meet my goal of making 100 new pieces, I did bust out 84 (which is victory enough for me).  I made a ton of necklaces, all my favorite earrings, cute little manzanita jewelry trees, and lots and lots of gold bling.  Prices are wholesale, (hershey) kisses are free, and if you time it right - you might meet a cute baby :)

As a reminder the show is being held at: Artworks Studio & Classroom - 600 N. Larchmont Blvd, LA CA 90004 and we will be open from 4pm - 8pm.  Hope you will be able to stop by and say hello :).   

Working Away

Sorry for the radio silence, but when it rains it pours. Things should be back to normal after this week (and I have so much to share) so hopefully it will have been worth the wait.

Part of why I have been so busy is because I am prepping for this weekend's pre-Valentines Day trunk show (info below).  This is the first time I have given any love to my jewelry since HML made her arrival, so I wanted to really give an extra push towards producing new pieces, updating some favorites, and making a ton of best sellers.  My goal is to have 100 new pieces and I am almost there (fingers crossed).  The day should be really fun, and if you are in the neighborhood you should absolutely stop by. 

I am one of six vendors this weekend, and honored to be in such amazing company; La Mer Watches, Type-A Calligraphy, Besotted Brand , Ingredients Designs, and Sucresal.

Hope to see you then!

THE SEARCH: Grown Up Friendship Bracelets

In my reality, friendship bracelets never went out of style so I was delighted to discover that the fashion world has officially brought them back to life, with well deserved upgrades.  For the crafter at heart this will change your life, with a a more grown up DIY version visit here.  If you are more in the mood to shop (because making friendship bracelets was so 20 years ago) feast your eyes on the goods below.  As always, images click through to the original source, but good luck picking just one, these are really unique beauties.

Lundeen's

You know that special moment that is shared between you and a STORE (yup, I am going there) where everything feels curated especially for you?  BTW - fancy stores don't count cause it's easy to lust after a $5,000 handbag.  I am talking about a real life perfectly hand picked boutique, don't tell KL, but I have been having a private love affair with one for a while now. 

Lundeen's, located in the heart of CC is my go to place for all things gifts.  Whatever the occasion, they always have THE BEST selection and they offer free gift wrapping (perk).  It's not a big space, it's just a really well-edited selection of unusual gifts, cards, home decor, and baby stuff. 

If there was one gift shop I had to take with me to a desert island, it would be Lundeen's hands down!

Ps. Skip the Starbucks next door and grab a coffee at L'epicerie Market, you won't regret it :)

THE SEARCH: ETSY Fab Finds

As you already know, I love all things ETSY, I sell, shop, and gush over it endlessly.  My love however, does not make me immune from the overwhelming feelings that I often have browsing the enormous site...How do people find the good stuff?  How will people ever find my stuff?  There is so much merchandise, it's really easy to feel lost.

In an effort to help myself (and you) I am going to more regularly post ETSY Fab Finds.  Think of it as an ongoing wish list of items that catch my eye, and if we have similar taste, I might be saving you lots of time....READY - SET - GO!
