the art of living

It's been such a busy month! I've been working on a number of custom orders and getting ready for two upcoming trunk shows. If you're in the Denver, CO or Sioux Falls, SD areas, you will not want to miss these exclusive trunk show events! I'm planning on bringing the best of my charm creations, and I promise that you will not be disappointed.

I'm going to try to take some photos of my progress in preparing for trunk shows, because I'm really excited about some of the new images from my collection that will be made into necklace charms. I've got a bag of vintage stamps- they're such a lovely rainbow of bright colors, and I especially like the ones that have been postmarked. I've always been obsessed with text and numbers and snail mail is the greatest- so the black ink with the postmarked text and numbers adding a layer on top of the text and numbers on the stamp itself is just word and number perfection in my eyes.

I recently found a few GREAT vintage French textbooks and dictionaries that I've also been incorporating into necklace charms. I also have some copies of charming vintage labels and old black and white photos that I've collected over the past few years. I'll try to get some pictures up soon! And I hope to have some new designs for sale on my website soon.

It's been a whole (busy!) month since my last update. So true that time flies when you're having fun.
