Sneak Peek :: long or short

Lavender Blue

I've been thinking about additional ways to make earrings more versatile and came up with a simple idea... the long or short earring... (one you can wear long or short). I'm not quite sure what to call this design just yet, but that's as good as it gets at the moment. If you can help me come up with a clever name for this design, you can win a pair of my new long-short earrings! :) Hmm, maybe I can have a name game for this design like Nicole of Lillyella.

Kryptonite

I'd love some feedback on what you think of this idea. Should I add it to my collection?

These two pairs are one of a kind and will be available in my shop soon. If you'd like to reserve either pair, please convo or email me. In the meantime, you can check out the new items I listed today.

And tune in tomorrow for a brand new featured artist spot!

FP at last!

I just found out that my current treasury made it to Etsy's Front Page this morning (@ 6 am)! It's been a while since I've been selected because FPs are hard to come by these days.

In other news, I got a little photography time in this weekend so I'll be back later with some more sneak peeks and hopefully will have time to add new items to my shop! I hope you'll check back!

Have you snorted yet today?

A friend shared this video and I laughed so hard I actually snorted! Oh how I wish I could do these things with a straight face on!




I just love hidden camera pranks like this.. catching people in their natural reactions. I also love Ellen.. and her haircut! I wish I could sport that short of a style and not feel like a little boy. One day, I'll get enough guts to go super short.. it's getting there. I've always been a huge fan of short hair, but ever since having a baby, I've been chopping it and chopping it. So much easier to manage.. anyway, I'll stop my random monologue now before it gets out of control.

Happy Thursday! I'm so excited it's almost the weekend! :D

Sneak Peek at some new items...

As promised, here's a peek at what I've been working on lately. Fresh items to be available soon! I know I'm a bit behind schedule, but better late than never, right?

So here's some of what you'll be seeing in my etsy shop and on envedesigns.com soon:

I've been enjoying mixing metals.. e.g., sterling silver with gunmetal, oxidized silver with unoxidized silver, oxidized silver with gold.. so you'll be seeing several pieces along those lines.

I love making my signature wrap and thread necklaces so there will be lots of those to choose from! Styles will range from classically subtle and sleek, to pieces that will definitely capture some attention. I've also incorporated other metals (antique brass, gunmetal, antique copper) into this design, along with the traditional silver and gold pieces I've designed in the past. I also came across some gorgeous vintage Italian brass keys that I've made the focal of several wrap and thread necklaces! Pictures of those to come.

You'll also be seeing lots of juicy colors to liven up your spring and summer!!! Featuring genuine rubies, various shades of chalcedony, amethyst, peridot, garnet, carnelian, apatite, aquamarine, jade, aventurine... and probably more I can't think of off the top of my head.

I'd love to hear what you think! And if you're interested in anything you see in particular, feel free to email me (contact@envedesigns.com) and reserve it. The two wrap and thread necklaces pictured above are not going to be available through my sites.. they're on their way to a boutique in New York! But if you're interested, I can design something similar for you.

And if you want to be the first to know when new items are available, along with exclusive discounts and specials, you're welcome to follow my blog and subscribe to the mailing list (email to subscribe@envedesigns.com).

I'll be back for more sneak peeks as soon as I get a chance to take more photos. Now back to work before my son wakes up from his nap! :)

Have a lovely Monday!
