Wrists or Ears... Ears or Wrists

Well today's goal was to get another blog entry done... and look at me 3 hours to spare!! I tell ya I'm an overachiever! NOT


As I sit here listening to my heater run constantly I am so thankful that my hobby is one that is indoors and not oh say.... competitive tree climbing! Kansas has decided to get darn chilly this week. Think we're done seeing above freezing for a few days. I want to move to my sisters in Alabama!



So, today I have for your optical delight.... a couple more cuffs and some new earrings! TA DAA!




"Santa Fe" earrings are so cute! Great crosses and turquoise:

"RockStarred" cuff features a great star concho and black crystal accents: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19242831


"Paths" cuff makes a beautiful statement for you or your loved one: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17972718

















"Lenox" earrings are the perfect match to the "Lenox" necklace! Or great on their own: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19658022




So there are a few morsels for you to chew on for a bit! I will be busy busy busy over the next 2 months getting geared up for the first show of the 09 season. Watch out Claremore Oklahoma, Nelli and I are coming back to town!!!

Until next time~
Peace, love and Warm Blankets

Tuesday Night Brain Storming!

I love that once a week my friend Kari and I get together, avoid our kids (like good moms) and do as much brainstorming, creating and or just general b!tching. Tonight was more like a decompression session... just some time to chill. I worked on some photos and we talked about our upcoming venture (teaser again i know).

Another thing that came up... we need some new junkin' grounds... anyone have any suggestions for us? Thinking of heading toward Wichita so if you have any ideas of places south to south west on the Kansas Turnpike drop me a line! Inspiration is our fuel!




Here are a few necklaces I've been working on the last week. Enjoy!







"Lenox" Lava beads with sterling silver and a fantastic Spur Rowel and Nautical star pendant. Look for this one at Etsy.com soon!










"Ombre" my obsession with leather continues into necklaces now. "Pink Turquoise" (dyed Howlite) strung between double leather straps with a gorgeous Bali silver center.





"Tuscon" a junkers dream, leather gently holds a great turquoise donut with dangling charms of goldstone, turquoise, sterling silver and jasper.

I've been busy keeping up with my networking but its starting to make my head spin.... Twitter, FaceBook, MySpace, the Blog, my store.... oh wait I have a life too. I tell ya what, determination is a tough curse but I'm cool with that!

Until Next time~
Peace, Love and Gingham

RockStar Mentality

I'm so ready for all the great new things that 2009 has in store for me! I know that TPJ will be even more successful this year and I have some awesome news to share with all of you soon that will just blow your mind! I know you hate teasers... or at least I do but believe me, its well worth it!

Today I've devoted my whole day to TPJ and getting new stuff photographed, cataloged and listed. Even did a little creating while I was at it. I'm spent but its only 3pm.... I've got so much more time in the day!
So while I jam out I'll let ya'll check out the latest from TPJ!!

"Mentality" Totally perfect for anyone with that Rockstar Mentality! The rich colors, awesome winged nautical star and enameled star accents! I love this one and just want to keep it!
"Amber Waves" Another buckled cuff! This is prime leather with gorgeous tooling that looks like waves of grain... he he he
"Jubilee" delicious nuggets of cherry red coral with a gorgeous Brighton pendant.
"Haley" Custom order for my friend Angie's niece. Great way to show off your passion!
Well there are tons more but I have to keep this blog up so I'll save them for next time.
Until then~

Peace, Love & lavish leather
