Holiday Craft Sale

Here’s a sneak peek at some of my new jewelry I’ll be selling at the Schmitz Park Elementary School Holiday Craft Sale tomorrow from 10 am – 3 pm. I’ll have lots of new stuff to debut as well as everything currently in my Etsy shop.

I hope you can come by and say hello!

There will be 29 local artists selling handmade purses, block prints and cards, children’s apparel, scarves, hats, jewelry, ornaments, pincushions, photography, candles, cards and more. Don't miss my friend Elise Hooper’s adorable handmade kids clothes and blankets. Below is her Christmas Gift Dress - so cute!

Here are directions to the school, 5000 SW Spokane Street, Seattle, 98116

From I-5, take the West Seattle Bridge exit. Follow to Admiral Way exit. Take the exit to the right, follow Admiral way all the way up the hill. Continue through the intersection of California Avenue, going straight. (you should see our signs up!) Follow Admiral Way down the hill, turn left on 49th Ave SW. Continue on 49th to SW Spokane Street, take a right. The school is immediately on the right.

the blues

Here are a couple more new pieces to show you:

blueberry jam necklace – I love love love these teal and navy vintage Lucite buttons – they’re so shiny and so saturated they’re almost juicy!

night sky necklace – this one is kind of subtle, but also a tiny bit fancy because of the amazing glittery vintage Lucite disc and the navy faceted glass beads.

More soon - happy weekend!

under the big top

Jane went to the circus with her grandparents recently and I think it must have seeped into my subconscious and resulted in these two new pieces:

trapeze earrings – these yellow cone shaped beads are rare vintage Czech glass and also the perfect shade of yellow. I love how they gently swing on the gold rings.

balance beam necklace – an orange/rust vintage Lucite tube bead and a turquoise faceted glass bead slide along two lengths of delicate sterling silver chain. A lot of movement in this one.

back to school

So I guess that my August break was more of a break than I originally intended, but I think it was needed. Summer seemed so short this year – mainly the lackluster weather was to blame – and I felt compelled to spend as much time outside as possible, which equaled less blogging and jewelry making . . . but September is here and school starts tomorrow. Somehow I feel ready. I know Jane does too. I hope she can sleep tonight – I know I never could the night before the first day!

I’ve been back in the studio making more jewelry the last few weeks so I have some new stuff to show you! I think I’ll highlight a few pieces here on the blog over the next few days but everything’s already over in the shop if you don’t want to wait!

 

 

tangram earrings – these white triangles are rare vintage Czech glass. I love how smooth they are – like ivory piano keys.

flow earrings – these are all about that blue – they glow!

More to come!

I sat down with the intention to finish my book, but it was so hot. Instead I drank my iced latte and soaked in the sun.

7.8.10

the baby pool had been closed all week but was finally open today. 95 degrees out and I didn’t bring his suit. I’ll make it up to him tomorrow.
