Front Page of Etsy!

OMG! I made the front of Etsy for the first time!! My sterling hand stamped guitar pick, which has suddenly become a big hit this holiday season, is a hand picked item on the front page. Pretty cool!

What are the chances?

So I am in the basement hammering out over 75 names on jewelry and listening to my iTunes library of over 800 songs, primarily things like Britney, Christina, Natalie Merchant, Beth Orton, etc, with a few Neil Diamond and Cat Stevens thrown in. Well, the second I start to hammer the "D" in Desiree, what comes on but Neil Diamond's Desiree? Seriously, what are the chances?

That is almost as coincidental as when I was in Israel driving in Jerusalem, and my grandmother, who I didn't even know was IN Jerusalem, crossed right in front of my car at a red light!

A call from the mayor

Well, the mayor's secretary, asking me to participate in the City Wide Chanukah Celebration. December 22, 7:00 pm, on the lawn of Temple Oheb Shalom. Come join in the fun, buy some jewelry, and wear your coat and golves!

Trying my hand. . .

at making rings! Here are my first efforts. Bring on the torch.

NEW ITEMS!

At my most recent show, many customers were interested in purchasing my Victorian jewelry stands that displayed my jewelry. I have taken note, and will be adding these beautiful stands to my website within a week or so. I will have many varieties, ranging from $30-$45. Please check back, or contact me to purchase!

My beauties

Ronnie (4 yrs), Ben (2 1/2 yrs) and Lila (6 mos). I'm sure anyone looking at my site knows their names, since they are on all the jewelry!

My review

I have been very lucky to have my designs on this very hip website - www.threehipchicks.com. The site, and my jewelry, was reviewed today at Pink & Posh!

My Etsy Shop

100th sale soon?

I now have 99 sales from etsy (I probably have 99 purchases from other amazing etsy artists!). How much longer until my 100th sale? It could be you: http://www.underhercharm.etsy.com/

Packing up all of my jewelry making supplies to take them on vacation with me. This will be a job, and only an hour and a half until we leave! All orders shipping from Houston for the next two weeks. And yes, those are ear plugs in the picture, which I just puchased last week and are a life saver. Why did nobody tell me to wear ear plugs while hammering before? What?

Summer

After almost a year since my last post, it's time for an update. In this last year, I've completed my post-doc fellowship, had my third baby, Lila Francine, accepted a new job at UC Berkeley for next year, and made lots of changes to my jewelry line!

With 3 great fonts (block, script & Hebrew) and lots of new designs, I am having fun creating jewelry while I am home with Lila, and while Ben & Ronnie are at summer camp, so check back often for new jewelry.
