Think skinny!

If it were only that easy! I'm surely not the only one that feels like the holidays have shoved them into their comfy jamma pants and you may never be able to leave them again!?!?!? I don't think I can even wait to the first of the year to start eating better and getting off my merry arse! So for the sake of SKINNY I'm busting out the latest bunch of "Skinnies"! These cuffs were first introduced back at the beginning of November and were such a hit. Why it took me so long to do more is beyond me but I guess better late than never.
So instead of buying the latest workout DVD or gym membership just buy something skinny and be done with it. There's always next Monday to start!

A pile of "Basket Skinnies" These will be hitting Etsy soon~ if not tonight! The "Tabbed" "Basket Skinny" The "Okie Skinnies" are gorgeous. Black background with rich brown tooling. These are sure to sell out fast!
The "Okie Skinny" even has a "tabbed" version. I love the shape the tab gives these simple bracelets.
So...if you just cant get yourself up and going yet don't worry.... you've got time before you even have to start that New Years Resolution!!! Just buy something skinny!

Until next time~

Peace, Love and kickin vintage leather!

ZZzzzzzzzzz... .Huh... what... oh....

WAKE UP MICHELE!!!!! My gawd, not only am I extremely tired but its almost like I've abandoned ship on this blog.

So... this will be less wordy and more purdy!

New Cuffs!!!!

"San"... coming soon to Etsy. Gorgeous 2 tone leather with great tooling and vintage flair. The stamped steel concho is such a great addition!

"Skipper"... aren't they cute?? Narrow and delicate and NOT the norm in leather color. They are kind of blueish/grayish/greenish... totally funky and adorable! Only one left and will be hitting Etsy TOMORROW!!! If it lasts that long!

"Monarch" got a little flashy this time around. This one is larger in size and has pretty crystal bling to it!

"Burst" is a manly one... and on Etsy now for your gift giving ease!

"Flora" has a beautiful new floral heart concho as its centerpiece. Rich colors perfect for fall! On Etsy now!

"Prairie" has some serious bling factor! The centerpiece star concho is crystal and accented by crystal spots on either side. Coming to Etsy soon... if she makes it that long!

Well... this is what I've been up to... well this and slacking! I have so much to get done and just no ambition right now... how sad. Lets hope i kick it in the rear quick!

Until Next time~

Peace, Love and Lazy days

Cuff 'em and stuff 'em!!!

So for the past few weeks I've been "test driving" a new cuff design.. and I finally feel comfortable listing it!

Now a few of you who have seen me in person may have noticed that I've been wearing a skinny girl belt on my wrist... here we have it... .the new "Belted" line of cuffs!

Only two in stock at this time but we'll see how they go over and take it from there!

Meet "Lioness"... she packs some punch! Now available on Etsy too!!!

This one is hefty with a dueling lion head brass buckle and gorgeous daisy tooling on buttery soft vintage leather. I love it!
And Coming soon is "Pilgrim"

Its a little lighter in weight but has awesome tooling and beautiful design!
So there you have it... I finally blogged... and it was short but oh so worth it! I love these cuffs!!

Until next time~
Peace, love and Lions!

It's Overload........

((Please read title while using a deep voice and channeling your inner Dirty Dancing spirit))

Wow... so things you've learned about me in the past year as a blogger.... I neglect the blog (duh), I like to work like a wild woman in spurts.... and Fall is a crazy time for me. SOooo after the insanity known as Claremore, Oklahoma I have been trying to build my inventory back up. Luckily I've had some good creative nights and put them to good use. So as Nelli stands in my work space getting loaded down with beautiful baubles I decided she needed to be shown off as she's overloaded with fantasticality! (is that a word?? It should be... i like it)

So for your viewing pleasure I give you the ever so decadent NELLI!!!! Good thing she's tough!

These fantastic items can be purchased at the HOLIDAY ART BOUTIQUE tomorrow at the Potter Beath Activity Center 2931 West 24th here in Emporia, Ks. Runs from 8am to 1pm so get there early so you don't miss out!

Until Next Time~

Peace, Love and Overloads of lovelies

Love.... aaawwwww....

OK.. so any of you that know me in real life know that I sport the BEST bracelet ever! I blogged about it last winter... the "Love is for losers" wood bangle by Valle.Girl Designs! Well in honor of love (and not my personal opinion of it all) I give you a big fat sloppy kiss for all 200 of the great people out there that "Hearted" me on my Etsy site! Who woulda thunk it!

Thank you all so much for making my first year with Etsy a wonderful experience. Love to you all!



Now.. I'm gettin' my arse in gear and getting new pieces done for the season. Bet you wish you could see the funky fantastic Zebra inspired bracelet i finished last night.... but ya cant... cuz i haven't photographed it yet. I'm such a tease. lol

Until next time kids~

Peace Love and HEARTS

Whoa.......

I tell you what... seems I cant catch a break anymore.

Claremore was INSANE... phenomenal.... wild... amazing.... and totally RAD!!! I had an awesome time and the customers were awesome! Went down there with right around 100 pieces and probably made another 12 or so while i was there... lets just say that my sad sad little Etsy.com store is nekked because of it all.

So, you would think I would have come home and got right to work.... well... I would have if I had some supplies... but even those were exhausted while in OK.

Speed up to this week.... should be getting lots of packages of great new supplies and fun but for some reason things are really quiet with my mail box. Hhhmmmmmm.... mysterious. Well guess what..... my mail has been STOLEN!!!! Now there are 2 things I HATE in this world and they are liars and thieves!!! So here we are, one package confirmed GONE and possibly 2 others. I've been frantically tracking packages, calling suppliers, filing police reports, chatting with the USPS and all the neighbors. I hate feeling so violated!

But the show must go on and I reordered this morning and should be back in gear in time for the next show.

So... all I've got for your viewing pleasure today is stuff that was done either prior to heading for OK or done while I was there.

"Tyed"... gorgeous 2 strand turquoise chip necklace with pretty pink crosses adorning it~! Just listed on Etsy yesterday, grab it while you can~!

((whoa... excuse me blogger... but this wasn't sideways in my file.... RUDE))"Dalon" is one heck of a piece... huge coral "chunks" and enough silver to choke a horse! This is not for the weak... that's for darn sure!
Well.... let me explain myself here.... I'm in NO WAY shape or form an OSU Cowboys fan WHATSOEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But when in Rome......... and when your fabulous friend Courtney says "ooohh look OSU Orange...." You kinda feel like its a good thing. HOWEVER nobody snatched this fancy thing up so it came back with me. I'm gonna just think of it as a Halloween necklace. "Cowboy" will be listed soon... i gotta get it out of my house. LOL ((mad love OSU fans))

Well folks... sorry for the delay. Its only going to get worse I fear.

Bring on Art Show season... I'm ready! Well kinda....

Until next time~

Peace, Love and locking mail boxes~!

xoxo
