Plum District

So being a new mom, who also is a jewelry artist, I decided to feature my jewelry on the site Plum District - its a site that features products for mommies.... For Moms, By Moms!

Check out my deal here.

Handbags!

Every since I was a little girl and as far back as I can remember... I have loved purses, handbags, totes, cosmetic bags, you name it... I love bags! My mother and grandmothers would always complain about me running off in department stores to the purse section as soon as we got inside. I would want to be the cute girl with the awesome purse or tote. They knew, if I got lost (to them anyway) in the store... I would be in the purse section!!

Like jewelry, handbags are the only other fashion accessory that always seem to "fit", there's no sizes to figure out, no trying on to see if it makes your butt looks big.... it always fits. Now, of course, when I am buying a handbag I try it on to see how it wears on me, like... "is it me", or "will I look like the girl with the awesome purse" those kinds of things, and I also must say I try out my jewelry to see wear it hangs on the neckline... but in all reality - really jewelry and handbags will always fit, theres no, "I just had a baby, and my pants are tight, and maternity clothes are big" thoughts.... when buying these accessories.  Looking back, I think its funny... but to this day, I still love handbags so much, that I find myself always drooling over them, buying them - my husband even jokes around calling me a "bag lady" - its like I am in search for the perfect one, yet when I do, I am falling in love with another somewhere else!!

I totally should design my own handbag collection in addition to my jewelry. Don't you think that would be fun! I have loads of dreams of being a mommy mogul with my jewelry and accessories line! It of course, it would be so fabulous! Rather "Dashing", don't you think?? I dunno.. maybe I ought to think on that one!

Anyhow, until then... I can drool over other fabulous designer handbags. I ran into an college sorority sister a few months back, and saw her carrying a fabulous Glenda Gies handbag! OMG!! I was so excited to see the handbag... and her of course, but THAT Handbag... so awesome! So gorgeous, loved the fabric, and just wanted to fall out flat becuase it was so awesome! LOL - you know the feeling! You see, just a few months prior, I had seen these bags at one of the shows I attend, and knew I should've got one then! But I passed, yet, never stopped thinking about them. Anyhow, my friend was the girl with the awesome purse - and looked really good on her!

So now, of course, I just have to have one! And, I wanted to share that I have added a few handbags from Designer Glenda Gies to my online gift section. I just love these - they are so exquisite - luxurious handbags and totes. She really uses quality materials and hardware - so luxe! I am only featuring a few of her bags right now since I am offering them at a discounted price, I may end up adding more of her line (cosmetic bags and coin purse too), if all goes well!!

Check them out! I am def. going to have to snag myself one!

Want a particular Glenda Gies Bag, but its not on my website? Leave a comment of the style number and colors and I will see if I can get it added!

Personalized Especially For You!

Here's a custom charm bracelet made for someone special!

One thing I love about creating hand stamped jewelry is that no two designs are ever alike!!

Time flies!

So it's been five weeks since I brought home my little bundle of joy! Where has the time gone? I feel like he's grown so much in just a short time!

On the jewelry front-working on some pearl designs and new hand stamped designs!

Shipping orders from July 13 this coming week!
