Time flies.......

........when you are up to your eyeballs in insanity!! I cant believe its been 2 weeks since I showed this blog some love. Darn me!
Beside being busy in my personal life I've also been busy getting the "business" all situated. Tax time, business classes, and then throw in 2 kids just for fun. Its just insanity i tell you!


So this past weekend was some time for TPJ and Saturday afternoon I was able to knock out 3 new designs. A necklace that is gorgeous, and 2 bracelets that i find totally cool and tons of fun!

Ch..ch..ch..check 'em out!
"Leif"... 5 coils of neutral wooden jasper, sterling silver and turquoise chips. I've never made anything with memory wire because of my fears that it will look less "polished" or "cheap" but i was so completely wrong! I think i have a new style!

"Pillar"... only because I didn't think "caterpillar" would be appealing. But look at it... it looks like a centipede or something of the sort! Gorgeous teal/turquoise dyed shells all stacked up. It bends so nicely around the wrist. I think shell is going to be a favorite this season!

And last but not least.... "Jersey". Now when i think "Jersey" it brings to mind 2 things... Coyote Ugly (der... i love that movie) and my friend Josie who lives there. Now this piece just so happens to be named after Josie since she was begging for something beach inspired and shells. I think she got it with this one!!! Gorgeous shells and sterling silver.

I just love warmer weather and the inspiration it brings! Bring on the creativity and bring it on in masses!!! I'm ready!

Oh first show of the spring season.... "One Big Party" for Ozanam! 421 E. 137th Street, Kansas City, Mo!

Until next time~

Peace, Love and sandy beaches

Bring on the Green!!

The fabulous green day is here so i decided to share the love with my other Etsians!

Today's Blog entry... green from my favorite sellers! If you arent shopping Etsy you're seriously missing out. No big box retailer could come close to the amazing works that can be found here!

This is why I love Kansas... JaredKs is a local guy with some amazing Kansas photography. I have had him marked a favorite since not long after I found Etsy. Cant wait to buy some of his works!

How yummy does this sound.... "Chocolate Mint Sprig"? That's the name of this fantastic bag made by BlackBags of Monroe, North Carolina! I need one of these so badly!

Isn't this darling? I love all of the cute clutches and pouches from oktak
The fabrics are just amazing!
Please meet "Reed"~!! Isn't he the cutest sock monkey ever? I have never seen such awesome sock monkeys until i found FriedOkra ! ((not only are the monkeys cute but the name of the shop makes me crave Fried Okra!!))

Ohhh Valle.Girl.Designs!!!! Stacey is so awesome! If any of you know me personally you'll remember the fantastic wooden bangle that i wear all the time... "Love is for Losers"... yeah.. this is the chick! She truly rocks! So I had to show some love to "What Goes Around"!

And last but most definitely not least..... from the amazing Analiese Designs ...... "Strawberry Ice Tulips" pendant. This is the super talent behind the Pin Up girls necklaces I do. Yes she is that awesome! She can literally take any quality picture you have and make an awesome pendant for you... and then i can make a great necklace for it to hang on. How about that for great work!

Whew.... well I'm worn out... must be time for a cold green beer! LOL
Hope you have all the luck o' the Irish on this cold and wet Kansas day. May it be sunny in your world!

Until next time~

Peace, Love and ShamROCKS!!!

Beauties!!!

WOW.... let me tell ya... I have some of the HOTTEST friends and customers out there!

I dropped a hint about getting to hang out with the uber talented Kelley of Kelley Photo Design last month for the first ever professional photo shoot of TPJ jewelry.... well... here are some of my favorites.

You might notice that there are some new pieces in these photos that I've not unveiled yet... don't fret... they're coming. One thing I'm super excited about is the "Cuffed" line... fun and funky vintage leather cuffs with some awesome conchos and accents.

My favorite thing to work with... turquoise... mmmm tasty! ((please don't eat it to find out if I'm serious))

Watch out~!! The new "Cuffed" line will be making its debut soon....

Talk about color.... blues are so fantastic! "Cowgirls Dream" in denim blues... fancy that!

Again... lets just turn up the heat some more~! Dripping in gorgeous turquoise.

Going for all out glam in "Krystal" necklace, "Reem" chandelier earrings and other fabulous crystal pieces.

Rockstar! Without at doubt! Showin' some love to "Mojito" and "Molten".

Wow... with over 200 photos to pick from this was so difficult to just select a few for this blog. OH OH Wait... cant forget to show some love to my darling little "Gidgett". She was worn out but loved dressing up with the big girls all day!

The experience was awesome and I hope ya'll love the shots. I hope to make this a regular event for TPJ~!

Until next time~
Peace, Love, & pretty things
