FINALLY!

So I've been conjuring up this line for the past 7 months now... and FINALLY... I've listed the first one!! I've made others but they sell before I can even get them photographed!

The "CUFFED" line has finally made its way to the TPJ Etsy store front! I could not be more relieved!

Remember back in February or March when I was teasing about this line with the hot picture of Jess?
Well the one she has on in this picture is my first one! I love "Lofty Star" so much that I will never make another like it again!! This one is mine... and I don't like to share. ;-)



So... here are 2 that are ready to roll for the public!
"Monarch" is such a beautiful piece that I didn't even want to embellish the fantastic vintage leather! The very one pictured is already claimed but there will be more SOON!!!




"Roscoe" is already listed!! Just a simple vintage leather strap with a gorgeous star concho dead set in the middle! The existing tooling on this leather made for the perfect accent!

And with the TPJ world getting a little more "edgy" I have also started making some fun cross pieces like "Love Crux" earrings



I could add so much more to this blog today but I need to hold back something so I can blog more this week! Don't want to toss it all out there on a Monday!

So until next time~

Peace, Love & REBELS!

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

Glimpse of Spring

I just cant take the cold any more.... so here are a couple pieces to help you "THINK SPRING".

"Krystal" is pure bling at its best. So shiney and versitile. Four strands of simple silver lined glass beads anchored by a gorgeous silver concho. This is sure to go with anything in your closet and add just the right ammount of shine!

"Mojito" cool and refreshing but spunky and wild all at the same time... why I designed something that is ME!! LOL These beads have haunted me for 2 years now, I loved how wild and green they were but could never put my finger on just the right design for them. Well now I've got it! "Mojito" is perfect for that wild cowgirl in your life!

Well.... I'm hustlin to get ready for my wild date with Kelley in less than two weeks. TPJ will be doing its first Boutique shoot with the talented and fantastic photographer Kelley Walker Chance of Kelley Photo Design http://kelleyphoto.blogspot.com/. So keep an eye out for the final product..... its been a labor of love (I say this while I breathe into a paper bag). I'll give you the 411 on all of this soon... promise!

So until next time....

Peace, love and flashbulbs!

Ok Kelley, you win!

Since Kelley demanded it... I shall deliver!

Isn't it so freakin' cute!!! Gawd i could just stare at it all day! Again, Josephine at Retrospective Designs is just amazing and such a sweet woman. You have got to check out her Etsy site, fabulous photo montages, custom invitations, maps and her talents are endless!

As for the jewelry pieces mentioned below (oh yeah... that's what I do here.. I make jewelry.. huh.. damn near forgot) here are the pics of the newest fabulousness!

"Stellar" gorgeous black agate, crystal quartz and fantastic sterling silver pendant. Its just stunning!



"Ivy" Talk about a show stopper. This is the definition of turquoise gone classy~!


"Looper" another one of my HOT Cowgirl Pinups, this time she's kicked back with her rope... ready to drop a loop over that hot cowboy of her dreams.
"Astonished" one of my favorite designs. The star concho is engraved with a beautiful flourish pattern. Black agate and sterling.

Whew... ok, there is more but I'm beat. Guess you'll just have to check Etsy.com for the rest of it. These pieces will be released for sale throughout this week.

Until next time~

Finally Friday!

I can not believe what a long week this has been. I've been swamped with my day job and trying to get ready for my first "market" booth in 2 weeks now. I tell ya, its a good thing I work in the Mental Health field because otherwise I would have no idea just how obsessive I really am! WOW

Now since I've told you just how busy I've been you'll have to understand that I've not had time to make much lately, well maybe i should say FINISH anything. I have some started items that i think ya'll will really like but i have yet to get them completed. Don't worry, I'll work on them this weekend I promise.

So for today i thought i would showcase some of my favorite items that I have in my store.

Since my all time favorite design was featured in my last blog (Cowgirls dream necklace) I wont force you to hear me oooohhhh and aaaahhhh over it again. (I will if you want me to though) ;-)

"On a hot summer night

He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene

In letters three foot high

And the whole town said

The fool should have used red

But it looked good to Charlene

In John Deere green"-Joe Diffie

This is "Charlene"! Gorgeous lemon and lime colors anchored by a fun silver concho. I had a hard time deciding which way to go naming this one. The colors strike me as fresh and cool like lemon lime soda but then again it also has the fun John Deere colors going on. Since it has the country girl flair of the concho I figured i better go with the John Deere direction. I have a "Thank God for Country Boys" t-shirt with the exact same colors!
Charlene needs a good home before I decide to just keep her! Shes in my Etsy.com shop, check her out!


This one is a classic. I love the soft shimmer of the cream colored pearls. Somehow this set pulls off the classic feel along with a fun, modern feel with the ribbon and over sized pearls.

"Champagne Wishes" is available with just about any color ribbon imaginable. I'm working on a custom order for a bride in Massachusetts right now who is matching the ribbon color to her amazing J Crew bridesmaids dresses. The colors are a fun brite pink sorbet color and a nice deep almost "army" green. Not quite a moss but not a sage... its just beautiful!

"Champagne Wishes" has a complimenting bracelet as well. I just love this bracelet!

So that's it for today... I'm off to enjoy the cool weather today and lounge in the pool tomorrow. Have a great weekend and until then...

XOXO
