Holidaze

It has been a blessfully busy month! Between Holidays sales & the Holiday show, I am due for a few days off :D But til then, I wanted to give you a sneak peek at my pieces in real life :D 2 Weeks ago, I was lucky enough to get a spot in one of my favorite shows, The Buffalo Indie Market :D There were over 30 handmade artisans with their wares.

This is my setup for the show :D I also had a special section for my bird necklaces. A bit messy, but the show was so busy, I only had a few free moments here & there to snap photos.

I also had my Earring tree!! I love to make things festive, so every decoration on the tree was a pair of earrings for $10, & some I just gave away to customers that spend $60 or more as a Holidays treat!

This is the lovely Kelly (at left) one of my regular customers who showed up wearing my UNDER THE LOTUS necklace, you can get one too HERE. She purchased several pieces including the Pink Quartz mini-me necklace & Let it snow necklace. I received this mini mannequin as a birthday gift, paired with my mini mirror, it looked right at home with the rest of the display. In such a rush, I love to use my boxes as part of the display too, they look great & stack nicely for a unique look.

At the tail end of the show, when others started packing up, I gave it an extra few minutes. Lo & behold, the cutest couple ever, parents of Indie Market founder, Mary~ perched over my table, for Christmas shopping :D I had to take a quick snapshot because they just looked super cute :D I love the light between them! They purchased A tree of wisdom with green tourmaline necklace.

All in all the show was a success, & i was able to catch up with the crowd in Buffalo NY. I can't to see them again @ a new location for Valentines.

Hopefully you are all having a wonderful & safe Holiday week!! Enjoy & blessings :D Be sure to stop by next week for a new post...

Twilight love!

1) Pure Heart Necklace. Men's. $18
2) My favorite scene from Twilight
3) New Moon mother of pearl necklace $27
4) Freedom Flyer necklace $30
5) Twilight Movie poster

Last month i discovered why the whole world has gone nuts for the 'Twilight' Saga. My mom's friend's rave reviews, plus the enticing trailer for New Moon piqued my interest, as it seemed the series has hit all different age groups. Hence began my curiousity. I rented the first Twilight movie twice & watched it 7 times. And plan to see New Moon this coming weekend. Of course, no obsession is complete without a photo collage in my world :D 1) Pure Heart is one Angel wing necklace that I have been selling since August in my Men's collection for a low $18. I just loved the look of the stamping & it so reminds me of 2) one of my favorite scenes in Twilight. Edward is fighting his desire for Bella & I loved the symbolism of the wings behind him. 3) My New Moon necklace is a new pieces & I made only one. I found some amazing mother of Pearls, both the circle and the star, & love how it turned out. 4)This gorgeous necklace called Freedom Flyer is by a great Etsy artisan. I just purchased one & Franky, the artist was kind enough to ship the same day so I could have it this weekend! I can't wait to see it! I feel like it looks so much like that scene, I just had to have one. 4) The new Moon poster looks so mysterious and wonderful can't wait to see it!!

Check back next week for another post!

Healthy Indulgence-recipe Sundae Waffles

I am on the road to losing some extra weight I put on after college about 2 years back. In september I started. After a 4 day cleanse of 1,200 calories a day and then eating 1,600 cals per day...i lost some pounds and began a workout regimen. Simple and asy. But, I started to fall into some old patterns around day 42. SO i got back on track, did the 4 day jumpstart again and lost another 3 pounds last week. I decided I'm going to have a new goal of getting around 1,200 calories a day. At a 5' frame, that is about how much I'm supposed to be consuming anyways.

Well, if you are like me, you love sweets and indulging in tasty foods. After some searching and studying all different diets, I came up with some of my own recipes that are low in calorie and really satistying foods.

Sundae Waffles.

1 Kashi whole grain round waffle
1/4 Banana sliced
15 pieces of semi sweet (dark) chocolate
1 tsp. natural peanut butter
1 tsp skim milk

To do: combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter and milk and melt in the microwave or stovetop. In the microwave, set to 20 seconds...keep adding another 10 seconds until the chocolate is soft enough to stir. Stir the combination together. Toast Waffle and top with chocolate mixture and top with bananas. YUM!

Serves one. 240 calories. (if this is for breakfast, you can double the recipe for 2 waffles.)

Check back next week for another post!
