Digging Out

It was a funfilled summer...

We went to the zoo, the beach, the pool, the park, friend's and family's houses for picnics, the town square for concerts, the library, the ice cream store, the backyard... there were so many things to do and I felt so blessed to be able to fit my work, as little as I could accomplish, around being with Amelia, friends and family. Throughout the summer, I wondered how I made it through last summer able to work so much more than this summer.... just like looking at my closet and thinking "what in the world did I wear last summer?? I have nothing!!" :) I couldn't figure it out.

But now I'm digging out of the disorganization and lack of creative hours in a row and I'm back to work full time (well almost full time) with the same fire and passion to create as I had when the summer began.

I have so many ideas in my head that I feel like a few more hours in the day would be a blessing but don't we all!

I'll be working on some special orders that just couldn't fit in during the summer and creating some of the pieces that have been imagined.

To start, I did have a pile up of things to list that I've added to my store yesterday (my first 6 hour work day!)... take a look for some great fall pieces. More and more to come too! I've been really watching my purchases and trying to use more of what I already have which is why there are so many one-of-a-kind pieces showing up in my store so look for more of those too.

Glad to be back! Thanks to everyone for hanging in there with me :)

Fashion Tip Tuesday ... Necklace and Ahpeele

I love this Asian Steam Cloud top from Etsy seller Ahpeele. I would love to own it to pair up with my favorite jeans and my blackberry necklace. Or maybe the chunkier Black Onyx Necklace. Hmmm... daydream decisions. I enjoy browsing Ahpeele's store frequently and have many favorites in it... take a look!

Fashion Tip Tuesday ... Dress Your Wrists

Three-quarter sleeves... short sleeves... I can see my arms again! They exist! :) They are looking kind of bare though. Hmmm... I know! Bracelets! That's what's missing!

OK, honestly, I am wearing long sleeves today. It's still kind of COLD here in Chardon, OH... but I thought about wearing short sleeves and I thought about bracelets! Over the years of my jewelry making I've come to the point where if I don't have a necklace on it feels similar to not wearing a bra. I feel like something is missing! I've come to that point with bracelets. Whenever I can actually see my wrists, I feel odd without something on them. I've become an addict. I'll admit it.

Anyway.... today's tip is consider bracelets to go with your short sleeve outfits. Here's a link to the bracelets in my store as of today. I'll be adding more and more and more throughout the weeks to come! Bracelet Link

Fashion Tip Tuesday - Personal Jeweler

Today's fashion tip is..... consider obtaining a personal jeweler, like me! :) The movie stars do it, right? Are you out there buying spring and summer clothes? Do you need the perfect unique accessory that you won't see on anyone else in your neighborhood? If you answered yes, to either of those questions then you are in need of a personal jeweler.

Seriously... as funny as I am always trying to be, I've made many things for my customers in the past. Some I've dreamed up and some they've dreamed up. Either way, I love doing it. Sooooo... if there's ever anything that you're looking for and you don't see it in my store quite the way you imagined it, please get in touch! You can contact me through the contact link in Etsy or at directly at puffluna@adelphia.net

The earrings pictured are called glitter heart. Read all about it and buy them here

South Street's Fashion Tips on Tuesdays - 1

Fashion Tip: Buy your outfit to go with your jewelry! ;) I think this outfit would look great with my Graduated Orange Turquoise Necklace. I found these stones and HAD to have them. Half the fun of designing jewelry is finding the perfect stones.

Outfit is from Anthropologie. I had some brighter shoes in mind but since I don't wear leather shoes.. these will do. I was thinking green!
