What I'm LOVING!

      

So it has been another long time since I've blogged but I'm trying to get back on it again. Things have been super busy with work and Christmas looming ever closer, time is tight! I've been working on some Holiday designs that I think will really stand out at those holiday parties. I'll post pictures as soon as I can. I've finished up my holiday shows for the year, and the biggest news is Kirk and I finally got the internet at our new house. 8 months without it! (one reason why posts have been few and far between!)  But I will leave you all with what I have been eating and loving this last week! 

Sweet Bean Buns with soy sauce, Frozen Chocolate Bananas, and Amazing Green Tea ice cream! It's the best.

Don't forget!

The wait is almost over!  Everything is going as planned and I'm looking forward to a very fun Fall Home Show. And just to let you know, the packaging I gathered this year is absolutely adorable! Your friends and family will love opening their gifts this year. Hope to see you all there! It's going to be a very fun relaxing time! 

APPUS DESIGN FALL HOME SHOW

This Sunday Nov. 9th 

11am - 4pm

Pop in for some refreshments, good company, and early Christmas shopping!

EARRING GIVEAWAY!

Just a few more days until the Home show and I'm still making new pieces! The top necklace is a nod to the past with a variation on one of my first designs called the "Mermaid" it was my first piece of jewelry to be sold on Etsy! So I'm recreating it for this years home show. The other necklace is a rope of the most gorgeous Keishi petal pearls all adorned with faceted roundels of iolite finished with solid strands of iolite wrapping around the neck. It is a subtly glamourous piece and I really enjoyed working on it. The last photo is a mass of evergreen freshwater coin pearl studs set with Austrian crystals. 

There are 10 pairs all together and they will be given out FREE to the first 10 people at the Show on Sunday! Hope everyone can make it! The Fall Home Show is always so much fun!

Copper Blitz!

 

 

I just finished a whole days work of jewelry using copper, pearls, and Czech glass! It is a very earthy collection and I'm very happy with how everything came together. All of the pieces have a nice weight to them and unlike some of my other collections debuting this season, they are nicely simple. These would be great pieces to wear to work. Above are just a few of the copper workings.  

You can purchase these and other lovely gifts at the APPUS DESIGN FALL HOME SHOW on SUNDAY NOV. 9th from 11am- 4pm! 

Also as a side note, yesterday I put up my first Vinyl wall decal! It was so simple and it really transformed the desolate wall space we had at the bottom of the stairs. So if you too are someone on the fence about decals, this girl says, "Cheap, Fast and Fun!"  

Elegance at last!

 

Home Show Preparations

I've been busy drilling coin pearls in my studio and readying everything for the home show! Things are looking great and I've even  had the time to make a gift set for the lucky winner of this years drawing. I'll have pictures of it coming soon! So if you haven't marked your calendars yet, Sunday November 9th from 11am-4pm  stop  by the open house to purchase early christmas gifts and check some people off your list! Complimentary gift wrap is also included! Hope to see you there!  

Plum Vine Bangle

 Don't have much time today, but I wanted to share this Sweet Plum Vine Bangle I finished this morning! I am so busy these next two days! I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!

Haunting Pendants!

     

Added some new pendants to my jewelry case today, and am finishing the clean up on some of my tea ceremony pendants. When the collection is done it will showcase the many different shapes of tea vessels used during the japanese tea ceremony! Oh I must apologize for my lack of updates to my website! It is on my list of things to do (and has been for a while now...) So for now please be satisfied with my blog for updates until I get around to finishing my site! 

Also  I just had to share some amazing bath and body products by Haunt that I found on Etsy! They are delicious and oh so fall!

    

blood orange cocoa sugar polish!

Honey Lust lip balm!

and Milk and Nectar skin gloss! (I really want this one!)
