Back from First Vacation of the Summer...

...and while vacation is great--it's so hard to be away from the wire and stones. I did try to dream up new designs while lounging on the beach and am getting started as soon as the suitcases are unpacked. The colors by the ocean and organic shapes are certainly a pervasive theme with my work, so an oceanside vacation provides plenty of inspiration.

Some juicy rings to look at...

Growing Vines

Flowers, gardens and all things organic are a constant theme with me and jewelry ideas that reflect these themes zip through my mind at a quick clip. Someday I'll be diligent about making sketches... These vine earrings with various colors of freshwater pearls and turquoise are the latest. Necklaces and infinite variations in color and gold to follow.

come see me in boston this sunday

this sunday, june 3rd, i'll be out (in the sun i hope) at the south end open market on harrison street in boston.

The SoWa Open Market offers a shopping experience like no other in Boston. With an ever-changing group of artisans, a hip location and the chance to feel the sun on you face while you browse, it's a trip worth making. The Market offers the opportunity to meet the artists, vendors and farmers behind the work, and is fast becoming part of the South End's well-known artist's community. Every week offers shoppers something different and unique - you won't want to miss it!

if you live in the boston area or happen to be visiting, please stop by and see some new pieces and some old favorites and "rain, rain go away!".

just getting started...

with all the blogs i look forward to visiting each day, i thought it about time to start my own... i'll figure it out as i go i suppose.
