What A Blast!

The Gypsy Emporium was so much fun last weekend! Despite the crazy snowstorm, there was quite a crowd, and I was so fortunate to have my mom with me all day to help out. I had never been to the Madrid Theater before. It is amAZing! Built in the 1920s, it just oozes character and the perfect ambience! See photos of this historic theater here.

Cali Roberta put on a fabulous fashion show, and graciously showcased jewelry and accessories from various vendors at the event, myself included.

Therese Livella also did an awesome job coordinating this event! I hope to be a part of future shows!

Gypsy Emporium!

The Gypsy Emporium is next Saturday, March 20th, the first official day of spring! This amazing spring equinox celebration will be held at the historic Madrid Theater in midtown Kansas City. Fashion, food, and fun will be there, and so will I, with a load of yummy jewelry! I will be showing the Sweet Dreams Collection live for the first time, so don't miss it!

Find more information about location and times here. Hope to see you there!

It's here!

The new Sweet Dreams Collection is officially available in my shop!

I began working on this collection in the dead of winter, after Christmas, when we were knee deep in snow and I could only dream about warmer days. Finally, it is complete - and spring is just about "officially" here! I couldn't be happier!

Wild!

I am expanding my Wild At Heart Collection! In addition to the necklaces, I will be adding earrings, rings and hairclips in the coming weeks, so keep a lookout!

Sneak Peek

Coming soon!

The Bleeding Heart Ring

I decided to add a ring instead of a bracelet to the Bleeding Heart Collection. The first one I listed sold ultra-fast - yay! I found out my supplier is no longer going to carry the reptile embossed bands that I was hoping to use for these rings, soooo, I have ONE band left. After it's gone, I will be using a brushed finish band for these rings. Still cool, but not as edgy as the reptile finish! Wish I'd stocked up on more!

Be Still My "Bleeding" Heart!

Bleeding Heart necklace and earrings are new to my shop and I am SO excited about them! I am also working on a bracelet design, which I will add as soon as it is finished! The heart pendant is made from two separate hand cast resin hearts that are adhered together with resin. I carve the extra resin off the edges where the two meet, and then sand and sand and sand until the seam is barely visible. Then I sand the rest of the piece to a frosted finish. Next, I mix more resin and add the "veins" to the surface, which adds a beautifull glossy contrast!

I am loving the finished product! The necklace sells for $40 and the earrings for $20 in my etsy shop. Hope you love them as much as I do!
