Still here

Hi! no photos right now, but I am still alive! It's been a crazy week again staying up until 3 am working to get ready for my upcoming events and store orders. Also I have good news: Mud and Metal in Hampden Baltimore will be housing a collection of my work! I'm super excited about that and you can look for it there in about a months time. I have way more updates but I don't have time right now! I'm staying downtown this weekend for a wedding and sightseeing so I'll try my best and take some photos. Till then!

Shop update!


Hello! I finally got an air conditioner in the studio so I'm a lot cooler while I'm working on the shop. As you can see, I have almost everything ready, and hopefully the shop will be live this weekend! In other exciting news, my little bird pendants and some bracelets will be featured in a great brick and mortar shop here in Baltimore very soon. I'll have the details when everything is set.  hope everyone is staying cool!

Owlita Earrings!


I'm pretty busy this week taking care of all the things I neglected during my last 2 months of shows,  (i.e house cleaning, studio cleaning, business paperwork...) but I wanted to post real quick about these AMAZING Prairie Pheasant earrings that I've been coveting and now am a proud owner of! They are made by Owlita and are the two things I love: super long, and super lightweight! (and 14k gold to top it off)  Kirk surprised me with this pair pictured last night and I just about died. Her jewelry was featured on American Idol and is going to be in a Sex and the City episode soon. Please check her things out, they are otherworldly:


Bye for now!

Garden Fresh Dinner



Tonight I fixed the first dish that used vegetables from the garden! I was so excited. The baby spinach was ready so I made tomato and spinach toasts which are super healthy, super delicious, and quick! The fresh spinach tasted so much better than what I buy at the store! 

Here is my recipe if you want to try it sometime:

Tomato and Spinach Toast

Ingredients:
- 1 cup sliced grape tomatoes
- 1/2 cup minced onion
- 2 cups baby spinach
- Garlic (however much you like!)
-Garlic salt
- 2 tbls. butter (non-dairy for me)
-Italian herbs for taste
- 4 pieces of toast

Directions:

1) saute onion and garlic with butter on medium high heat until onions begin to caramelize.

2) Add tomatoes and garlic salt,  cook on medium heat for 3 - 4 min.

3) Toss in spinach and stir/ saute for another 3 min or until spinach shrinks and becomes  dark green.

4) Divide into four and serve hot over crisp toast. Enjoy!

Garden Update!



Just went to the opening of the Towson Farmers Market with my wonderful mother today, we got berries! I was glad we didn't miss them this year. Also just wanted to post photos of the veggie garden as of today. As you can see, it's coming along rather wildly but nicely. I'm going to stake the sugar snaps tomorrow because they are growing into themselves (oops).

Other than that, I'm steaming ahead with the shop preparations. So very many photos to sort and crop. It's getting there slowly, I have about 30 items of 50 finished.  Also I was asked to show my work at Towson Universities Asian Arts Gallery for their Many Moons Festival this Fall, so look for me there in September! I'll keep you updated as always. I hope everyone can get outside today and enjoy the breeze!
