And.... I'm back!

Holy moley! I haved updated this blog in ages!!! I am so sorry - my pre-Christmas was really busy with custom orders, and then over New Years I was finishing my business plan, etc, etc. Of course I am also working full time as well..... doesn't leave much time for posting! However I am going to stop grousing about how little time I have and just get down to business. I promise to organize myself better and post as often as possible!

I wanted to post a few more pictures of custom orders I completed before Christmas - here they are!

Enjoy! Will post again tomorrow!

What I've been up to lately....

You may have noticed that my posting hasn't been as regular in the last couple weeks :( I'm sorry about that! I have gone back to work full time again and now that it is Christmas, things are super crazy here. I think things will slow down a bit in a couple weeks, and I will get back into it I promise!

Lately, I have been working a ton of custom projects that I accepted for the Christmas season and I wanted to share them with you!!! So I will post pictures as I finish them - this is one that I just finished today. It is an Amazonite necklace with a "New" Jade focal off to the right side. It is linked together with sterling silver wire and jump rings and finished with a sterling silver multi strand clasp at the back. The longest strand is about 18 inches. Have to pat myself on the back for this one :)

I love how this turned out - don't you? Until next time, Kim XO.

New Canadian Shops on Etsy

Here it is - your weekly installment of New Canadian Shops on Etsy! I'm Kim from A little bit of pretty and this week I've picked SpiderellaStudio. So here we go :)

When I first entered SpiderellaStudio, I was immediately blown away by how beautiful and professional it looks! All of the colours are truly eye-catching and you know how I love colour :) I even love how the items are merchandised - plain white backgrounds really are the best choice when you're pieces are so statement making. Great photography too, very easy to see every detail. Really I could go on all day long!

SpiderellaStudio incorporates uncirculated vintage enamel flower beads from the 50’s, 60’s, & 70's remixed and revamped with newer components into new designs. The shop has a great mix of funky flowers in distinctive shapes and colours, which is what gives it such an eye-catching look! There is also a great selection of rings, bracelets, necklaces, and hair pieces to choose from. Any of the pieces in this shop would make great Christmas gifts!

Personally I love the vintage look of the shop, and have always been intrigued by enameled jewellery. I really like that the shop feels so modern and fashion forward despite its vintage origins. All of these pieces are distinctive and colourful without being fussy, which appeals to many shoppers including myself  :) I expect that we will be seeing much more of SpiderellaStudio in the very near future! Happy shopping :) Until next time, Kim XO
