November Already

Hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween.  We didn't get any trick-or-treaters this year, but my husband heard kids shrieking and pattering around a block away (sadly enough!).  If they had only walked one block further, they would have found a treasure trove of untouched candy.  Still, we have high hopes for next year.

And now it is already November (every year around this time, I say this).  As for shop news, if you have not yet checked out my newest jewelry offering, interchangeable earring dangles, see here.  For you early holiday shoppers out there, I recently added a Christmas/holiday mini tag design to the shop.  These simple tags are the perfect festive finishing touch for all your holiday needs--without being over the top.  Also, I am open to new shop item suggestions and custom orders, so let me know.

New products are constantly being made--jewelry, paper goods, and even writing services.  My goal is to share more of the creative process via this blog and on Instagram.  Sometimes I forget how exciting it is to physically document a project as it evolves, which makes for fun memories to revisit later on.

Until then, I leave you with a few favorite photos from October:

Introducing: New Shop Offering

I am excited to share my newest shop offering with you: interchangeable earring dangles!  In the past, I have received comments from buyers stating that they use pendants from my shop as earring dangles.  So I have been thinking more about this lately, as most of my handmade jewelry are single pendants, necklaces, or earrings.  This offering is a candidate for the perfect solution. 

Stones: agate, jade, howlite, and sodalite

With this new line of interchangeable stone dangles, you can purchase two nearly identical pieces that serve a double purpose: wear them as earring dangles or pendants.  Keep one, give one to your best friend--or even purchase a single pendant instead of two (read more below).  Versatile and dainty-stylish, each will arrive with a jump ring for durability.

These gems are not listed for sale yet, as I am still editing the photos taken this past week.  However, when listed (starting next week), there will be an option to purchase one piece or two, depending on your preference--a single pendant or two earring dangles.  This option gives the buyer more choices at an affordable cost, which is helpful come the holidays.

Personally, I love this idea because I myself use tiny, sturdy earring hoops to dangle stone charms from.  The versatility of interchangeable dangles is perfect if you want to try a new look without accumulating ear wires.  If you are not a hoop earrings person, my new pieces can easily be slipped onto interchangeable leverback ear wires (shown in above image).  Leverbacks are a great alternative to traditional ear wires, since the latter can be removed from your earlobe if not careful--such as when lying down and then getting up.  A pair of dainty sterling silver leverbacks will be listed next week.
