Today I checked out stylehive.com and saw that my Rain Necklace was on the front page! I have to say that's a pretty sweet feeling.

Indie Designer Market Chicago

Last weekend I attended the Indie Designer Market here in Chicago. It was so much fun and I got to meet some really wonderful people and designers. There were so many talented people. So here are some links to those shops that I found to be really great!

Simply Wood Rings is eco-conscious wood jewelry. Gustav creates these really intricate and organic rings.

Reflect my Life Quite simply, transformational clothing changes the way you think and feel about the most important areas of your life.

Seed of Servo is a t-shirt designer who has used art work from children with autism and uses his own designs.

Please check out those shops and see their work.

Photography

Last night I shot some photos using the studio lighting equipment I bought. I am still trying to perfect how to shoot great photos. Right now I a happy with the earing shots, but the necklaces is another thing. The lighting just doesn't do it justice. I really love natural light and I think it makes the jewelry look better. I'm debating on just shooting only earring shots and then taking pictures of my jewelry with natural light. Here are some photos of what I shot.

Mother's Day

2008-05-11T14:04:00.000-07:00

This mothers day is a very special, and sad day for me and my family. My grandmother was diagnosed with a brain tumor recently. She had to have an emergency surgery and she has not been the same since. This may be the last time that we get to celebrate mother's day with her. Today I want to share with everyone how great and wonderful my nanita is. She was always full of life. Always enjoying every moment given to her and without her I would not be here today. Its strange how the roles have turned now. She was the one who took care of me when I was little. She helped form who I am today. And now it is my turn to take care of her now that she is weak. So here are some photos of her that show that lovely nanita we all love and will miss.

Always Smiling.

Always dancing!

Good Morning Friday!

Yeah it's Friday! And even better is that I woke up to a sale. That always makes me smile. :) Yesterday I sent out invitations to my friends to join Stylehive.com. I really think this site is great. Its a place where you can bookmark you favorite items on the web. It can be clothing, bags, shoes, art...basically what ever. So if you fee like joining me just click on the style hive badge above.

So I will be uploading these earrings today. I sell these at C Salon here in Chicago. These have sold rather quickly there, but now I will be offering these earrings to the masses. I have three colors, yellow agate, red agate, and black agate. So if you want them get them, because most of my jewelry is one of a kind. Once they are gone I can not replicate them unless I am able to search the ends of the earth for the same stones.
