New Jewelry for April

I've been working on some new jewelry pieces and have been incorporating them into the web slowly, here are a few.

These super cute small sterling silver and crystal hoops $12 and measure one inch around.

Tools

Just a quick post with a highly dramatic pic of my jewelry tools, pliers, anvil, block, hammer. I should have thrown in some files and findings in there too. It may start out this nice and tidy, but all of the tools end up in my lap.

American Apparel XL

I get many requests through my Etsy store for individuals looking for larger sizes and up until now, I could not accomodate as they didn't offer them to their business accounts.

I insist on using American Apparel shirts for several reasons, they are made in the US, the company at least attempts an ethical pay scale for employees, and also the quality is just superb, their is minimal strinkage and their fine jersey just holds the water based inks so well, you can get a nice sharp design.

I recently went to go place an order and realize that now they do! I have begun integrating in both the grey and red styles in XL - size 12-14, chest 40-42", waist 33-35".

Re-cap of the Brooklyn Homeshow

Yesterday was the Brooklyn Homeshow, a unique event brought together by Michelle of Chelleline who graciously offered up her apartment to nine other vendors to host a one day shopping event. We set up shop early in the day, and opened the doors to shoppers by 10.

Despite pouring rain, many people came from New Jersey, Queens, and even Conneticut to support the indie community. It was really great. It was great to chat with people and find out about how they heard about the show.

The vendors offered products ranging from original photography, gocco prints, collage cards, hand made jewelry, felted pin cushions, crocheted pins, scarves, neckwarmers, silkscreened shirts, unique dresses and bags, and even original photography. It really was quite a range, that all worked really well together, something for everyone.
