New Favorites

I found these beauties at the LA Gift show from another vendor ERS Creative. I'm pretty much in love with all 3. They're bronze and silver. They stack. and they are so pretty.

Party Favors!

Olive just turned 3! In all of our traveling, we had to squeeze in (and plan) a birthday party for our favorite person. For party favors, I wanted to give balloons, since the kids always ask to take them home at the end of the party in years past. I found these cute animals at Michael's for $1 each! No bag filling with little plastic toys that end up all around the house and eventually in the garbage. party favors, done.

Seattle and LA trip!

We were traveling to shows most of Jan and are finally home! (but I have a solo trip next week to get gems - yay!) We had so much fun! Here is a little bit of our trip...

My New Favorite Gretchen & Elloise Necklace!!

This makes me feel like a secret super hero:) I am sort of obsessed with this tiny little lightning bolt. PS, I wish someone gave this to me as a gift, because I would assume they also thought I had super powers... you can find one here

Taste of Winter!

A little bit of what I've been working on for winter (yes, it's coming, just get your jacket and scarf and go with it:)

Gem Shopping in CA!

The holiday line is almost out! I needed a few extra things though, so my partner and I made a quick trip to Orange County to find some gems... Naturally, he was bored spending hours at the show, so he took photos:)

makin deals...

totally worn out...

we did find a little extra time to enjoy the beach:)

mmmm., fresh crab at the Crab Cooker

Studio Makeover!

So, we were going to move, then we weren't moving, then we decided to stay in our house for a very long time after all. Because of the possible transition, I haven't really set up our space as well as I'd like to. So, I decided that I will "makeover" every room in my house (to some degree) - starting with my studio! It was in need of some serious organization and cheer, especially now since it's not only me working in here all the time....

Here it is before:

messy mess mess

and now after!

So clean and organized (thanks Lacey!!!)Now on to the next projects:)
