what i've been working on.

lately i've been really inspired, and (luckily) it's been one of those times where i look at supplies i haven't used in ages and all sorts of ideas just jump out at me! i love it when my mind works like this! and since i've been so inspired lately, i placed an order for some completely new metal to make things i've never made before, so when i see the UPS man coming down my road on tuesday or wednesday, i'll probably squeal at a pitch so high i'll attract dogs from a 50 mile radius! but until then, here are a few things i've been working on for my shop...

the earrings at the top are made with real teeth beads! isn't that crazy? all i know is that the necklace i got them from was from an old lady who did some traveling, but i don't know the animal or country of origin.

tomorrow is going to be an early day. chris and i are going to monterey, va (an itty bitty little town in the mountains) for the maple syrup festival. what can i say, chris really likes breakfast food. he'll get his buckwheat pancakes (gross) and i'll get regular pancakes, and we'll eat junk food, buy some amazing handmade soap and see what else there is to eat! we like food. a lot.

i hope you guys have a good weekend! i'll see you next week with another interview from a blogger and shop owner i REALLY like, as well as a giveaway!

    i can relate to the first sentence so much- isn't it the best when supplies you've been staring at for a while suddenly make sense? i love your jewelry, i need a bullet crystal necklace very soon.

    your weekend plans sound so cozy, have fun!

    I really really like those earrings and I really really like you!
    I wish I didn't have big stupid holes where earrings should go, so that I could rock those babies.

    you are so talented, i cannot stand it.

    pretty soon, i'm going to re-pierce my ears of having them unpierced for at least seven years. and i cannot wait to start getting pretty earrings, like the ones you make, for my ears to have as wonderful decor.

    :]

    you rock.
