SPRING 2010

Well, I have almost finished taking all of my photos of my new collection for Spring 2010. Making everything is the easy part, taking photos and updating my website are the hard parts! For every piece I make I have to take a few photos, then photoshop everything. Then for updating my site I have to do write ups for everything, price and upload of all my photos. I also have to create a new catalog for wholesale buyers. And let me tell you that is A LOT of work. Especially for a full-time mom of a super cute 3 year old boy :-)

When I was creating everything I really wanted to have more leaves, keys and one of my favorites - filigree. I was thinking of romance, little gold and silver flowers & roses and vintage looking satin Vermeil keys that my customers could wear and feel special about. To me filigree has an old world feel to it which added to the romantic feeling I wanted to have in my collection as well. Leaves are extremely popular for me so I wanted to carry on with that trend by bringing in a couple of new leaves with simple gemstone briolette charms that could be worn everyday with something simple like a boyfriend t-shirt & jeans or going to work in a suit or cute skirt.. Being from British Columbia I can't help but love leaf pendants and earrings since I am surrounded by them everywhere I go.

"Everyday" seems to be a theme for me as well. When I make a purchase I really think about where my money is going and I think that my customers do as well, which is why I want them to be able to wear my jewelry designs everyday with everything that they own (and I hope that they do!). I also want there to be a value to my pieces, something that will be passed on through generations.

Stay tuned for the Spring 2010 Collection online......
