Baby things

For Hanukkah, my talented sister-in-law, Alissa, gifted us an incredible array of crocheted goodies for the babe, all handmade by her. The ridiculously tiny booties, hat, and coat made me cry, they were just so adorable. My favorite part is the baseball buttons.





She also made a matching baby blanket.

And this cute stuffed animal that looks very intricate to make.

My friends know me so well

I'm taking a break from my Twilight marathon/obsession to post this picture of the awesome gift my friend Stephanie gave me.

My friends know I have the sense of humor of a 7 year old boy. I just about peed my pants when I opened the package.

Thanks, Steph. I love it!

Peach coin pearl earrings

I've had these peach coin pearls for a long time but I kept hesitating over what to do with them, until finally inspiration struck. These earrings are "Linda," named after both my aunt and my mother-in-law (also not the same person - that would be really weird otherwise). She features five champagne/peach/pink/goldish coin pearls on each earring, dangling from sterling earwires. The color is really pretty and as you can tell, a bit hard to describe.

More details and pictures of Linda are available at the shop, and over the next few days I also will be debuting the matching bracelet!

And here is a picture of my friend Mandy's order for her mom's birthday all ready to be shipped out. I included a little gift card with it, which I think I'll also start offering to customers at no extra charge should they wish to give the jewelry as gifts.
