If you’ve met me, you’ve probably heard me say this about a million times: I LOVE The 124th Street Grande Market!!!!!

Not only is it completely ecclectic and charming, but the food vendors are absolutely amazing. Come for dinner, visit Duchess, and come say hello to the crazy bling lady (moi).

I will be under a very sparkly tent filled with jewels, and munching down on tasty treats tomorrow from 4-8pm.

I am having a bit of a love affair with bracelets this week.

Typically, I’d catagorize myself as an earring lady. I often feel as though my head might fly away if I’m not wearing something oversized, and boombastic in it’s flashiness. I don’t often wear large earrings with a large necklace, but with a large bracelet I feel that anything goes. 

These bracelets are extremely limited with only 15 in total, and the parts came from my last factory rummaging trip!

Hello lovely friends!

I’m back from my enchanting buying trip and excited to embrace all of the summer shows with heap-loads of new treasures. This week is going to be a busy one!

Come visit me this Thursday from 4pm-8pm at the Grande Market on 124th street, or this Saturday from 10am-4pm at The Mercer Collective.

I will have both new goodies, and a bunch of old treasures on sale.

Can’t wait to see everyone soon!

Getting the studio all packed up and ready for Make It this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I can’t wait to leap into spring at such a lovely location. If you haven’t visited Make It at this new location, it’s absolutely worth the extra treck. Not only are the flowers stunning, but the food and Chai drinks are a decadent addition to an already delightful experience. It’s no secret: the Enjoy Center is my happy place.

It’s been quite a busy spring. I’ve been re-vamping my little studio AND rebranding. More of an endeavour than I had initially predicted. I’ve also added a new family member to my household: a super-cute, overly affectionate kitty who gets into absolutely everything. Needless to say, he will not be one of my studio helpers, although I might be tempted to create some sort of blinged out kitty collar…

I hope that everyone is enjoying the sudden burst of sun, and can’t wait for your visits this weekend!

Getting the studio all packed up and organized for the big show this weekend.

If you’re going to be out and about this Saturday, stop over and visit me at the charmingly ecclectic Mercer Collective from 10am-4pm in the lower level of the Mercer Building…I will have all of by brightest, newest, most sparkly jewel concoctions on display for spring!!!

See everyone in a few days.

Wowzers!

What a month. I’ve been working my little heart and sole out on trying to bring organization to the bling creation process. That has meant organizing my messy little studio, re-vamping my website, and sadly neglecting this wee blog. Thankfully, things are starting to mellow out a bit, so I will be bombarding you with regular photos of sparkly delights yet again.

The next few weeks will be spent preparing for another show at The Mercer Building on March 16th-the wonderful Mercer Collective. After that, I’ll be selling my little heart out at Make It!!!!

Can’t wait to see everyone soon!

I’m pending a lovely monday creating sparkly goodies, watching old movies, and rummaging through winter-neglected materials at the studio!!!

February is usually the month that I feel the undeniable need to re-organize my life. This year, I’ve made a pact with myself to make all of my studio dreams come true- Once and for all…

I’ve started the painfully slow process of going through all of my studios little wee treasures, and I’ll tell ya I’m having a bit of a love affair with all of the spring and summer hues that I sneakily tucked away all winter.

Right now I’m completely captivated by every shade of blue…someone might need to organize an intervention!!!

Getting the studio all packed up and ready for the first show of The Mercer Collective!!!
The fun begins tomorrow at 10am and runs until 4pm. Plus there’s the wonderful ROAST coffee & wine bar if you need some sustenance…
