Christmas 2008

I just got back from spending Christmas in St. Louis , and I wanted to post a photo from Travis and my first Christmas in Indianapolis. I hope you continue to enjoy this festive time and have a wonderful new year!

STL Trunk Show

I had a great time this weekend in St. Louis participating in the Santa's Cause fundraiser for COTA. First I went to a fabulous fashion show at a great shop called The Time Boutique and then I set up my jewelry display at Mosaic restaurant. I met a lot of people, sold a bunch of jewelry, raised a lot ton of money and had a great time!

Trunk Show and Fundraiser

Travis and I are heading to St. Louis, my hometown, this weekend to participate in Santa's Cause. This is a fundraising event featuring a Santa-guided restaurant/bar hop up down Washington Ave. in the loft district. There will be food and drink specials at every stop. All proceeds of the event will benefit pediatric patients in the St. Louis-area currently working with Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) to raise funds to cover transplant and transplant related expenses.
I will have a table set up at one of the restaurant along the route and will be donating 10% of the night's sales to the cause. Come check out some of my jewelry, have some fun, and help some kids all at the same time.

Hummingbird Necklace

I have been working on some new pieces for an upcoming show I have in St. Louis the first weekend in December. In the midst of doing this work I received a request from my brother-in-law to create a necklace for his wife for Christmas. She loves hummingbirds, and I wanted to take take that imagery and create a simple, elegant silhouetted pendant. After I cut my design out of silver I gave it a brushed finish and hung it from a chain with a simple dangle of her wedding colors from earlier in the year. I really love how it turned out and would like to expand upon it for my new collection.
