Latest addition to the TPJ crew....

Well I've finally found her.... Please meet Nelli- the new TPJ model.

I had this idea of what I wanted in my head but could never seem to find just the right bust or dress form, then I found the perfect dress and still had nothing to put it on. Then out of the blue I find out that Becky at "Olde Glory" had found just what i was looking for. I got down to the store that next day and there she was (holding up an old piece of fence with her "neck")!!

Nelli!!!! I scooped her up quicker than you could blink. She even rode, seat belted in the front seat on the way back to my office. Then, nekked as a jay bird, I proceeded to haul her into my office to show off. Thank God my co-workers aren't surprised by this stuff when it comes to me! She sat on my desk for the rest of the afternoon. OK so at one point I put my shawl on her as to not offend the boys here.



Now she's at home in my dining room, donning the fanciest 1940's party dress and rocking some great jewels!



Keep an eye out for Nelli and I at our upcoming shows!


Until next time!
Peace, love and frilly bits

XOXO

Quickie!

Hey a "quickie" is better than nothing!

Here's a little sneak peek at what I've got to work on this coming week or two.

More beautiful-ness from the ever talented Etsy goddess Analiese:
I cant wait to work with these great pendants~! This has to be a favorite of mine for sure:

I am also working on a beautiful set of brown pearl and crystal necklaces and earrings for another fabulous Kansas City bride! My KC girls are just awesome and have some fabulous taste!

Well... I'm up to my ears in jewels and beads so i better get to working!

Next "live" performance (he he he) will be in Madison, Kansas on October 27th. Catch me there!

Until next time....

Peace, Love and Hot sauce
XOXO

Earring addiction!

I think I've managed to form an earring addiction lately.






The "Love me Knot" earrings were originally designed for my aunt Marcia at the Spring Open House. This pair are done in a beautiful neutral Picasso jasper with sterling silver findings.



I love these earrings! "Minted" is the name of the bracelet that goes with these earrings. Beautiful mint alabaster faceted globe and Swarovski crystal with Bali silver accents. They may look big but as they say... "Go big or go home"!








The simplicity of "Graduated" appeals to just about anyone. These are a great "go to" pair of earrings when you are in a rush and just need to grab something and go!



"Wooded" are all kinds of earthy. The beautiful Picasso jasper and wooden looking beads are a great combination. Sterling silver swirls around the top 2 beads like a breeze.

"Global" look like little globes of the earth being cradled by beautiful Bali silver. I usually like bigger earrings but for some reason i think these make a great statement without being bigger than a thought. "Global" also go great with the Denim Blue "Cowgirls Dream" necklace featured in my last post.
Aaahh "Gypsy" how i relish the thoughts of wandering in search of wonderful treasures. These earrings are made to compliment the "Gypsy" necklace mentioned in the last entry.


So many earrings and only 2 ears... whats a girl to do? Oh that's right, buy them anyways, they are just like shoes, you can never have enough!

Until next time~
