Haute-ness
Hello Fashionistas!
:) Sorry, I just got back from NYC where I collaborated with designer MinnaK on a little fashion show for her little silk dress capsule collection. I accessorized! Was so much fun and a great means of inspiration for some "Haute" designs.
Here are a few of my NEW pieces on the models. ENJOY!
P.S. if you'd like to see any of these up close... I'll be at the Barracks Row festival this Saturday 10-5 pm

Customer Inspired
The August shows are over and ready to start over for September. Thanks to everyone that made it out to Arts on N and to the Ballston Arts Market!
Just wanted to do a quick post about how so many of my customers inspire new designs. I get a lot of custom orders and ideas from customers such as the Little Prince's "tamed fox", and earrings with the Cheshire cat.
Other times just a simple suggestion for new products -like cufflinks with dogs- will inspire me...Hence the new "Mooshface" pendant and ring... soon to be cufflinks too! ;)
So to all my customers : THANK YOU!!! Keep all the great ideas and custom orders coming!

Last Show this Spring
Last week was Ballston Arts and Crafts Market in Arlington. Winds were mighty at 45 mph so everyone had to make due without their canopies... but it was a beautiful sunny cool day with plenty of visitors.
All in all a successful and fun day!
This fun street festival will have local entertainment, lively sponsors, children's activities, and over 40 restaurants participate in this spectacular community event.
The Ballston Arts & Crafts Market will be one street down from the festival. I'll be setting up shop in the regular spot, Welburn Square, joining the festive spirit. So come join in on the food and fun!
I'm taking requests...so let me know if there's anything you'd like to see this Sunday. ;)
Hope to see you soon!
