weekend wishes...

 

My goodness this week has been a little wild and the weekend is even fuller!  We are off to the Chinese New Year parade in LA today by train... super fun... I hope so!  And a little trip to the Flea Market this Sunday morning sounds about right.

What do you have planned?  

Here are a few things to keep us from losing it during the big game!

Some fun info and pretty pictures..

I think that someone I love should make me this for Valentines day... I'm just sayin.

Some days just call for a comfortable wordy T.

Swing arm wall lights have been calling my name.. this one or that one will do nicely.

xo have a great weekend!

{shop design} Rag and Bone, Los Angeles

 

Yesterday while I was in LA I had a chance to visit the Rag and Bone store on Melrose... I love a well done shop!   Rag and Bone is set up in an older building with access from the front as well as either end.  The doors were fantastic and they added just enough industrial detail to the exterior to make, what I am assuming was a pretty odd building, look really cool.  (Glass block is not usually on my approved materials list but it works here).  All of the industrial furnishings were mixed with their logos and labels that made them part of the brand itself and I loved the mix of vintage and classic lighting.

Polyvore: Creative Inspiration

What do I do when I'm not making jewelry?

I make other jewelry. 

But when I really feel the need to take a break, I sometimes head on over

to Polyvore.com, where you can design and put together clothing and 
accessories to create outfits.  ...I know, I'm like a ten year old. :)

Polyvore is a great way to practice using color, texture, pattern, coordinating - 
all the things that I do when I am designing a piece of jewelry, or what you're 
doing when your making any kind or art or doing any kind of craft. Sometimes 
when I'm playing around on Polyvore I get inspired to create a new jewelry 
design. Sometimes a certain color will catch my eye and put me in the mood 
to work with that same color gemstone or bead. Not only is Polyvore
 relaxing, but it also can be a great source of creative inspiration! 

Below are a few outfits that I put together in my own style. If you haven't 
checked out Polyvore yet, you should give it a try, it's fun!
