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:

"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

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!
