Such an exciting weekend!!

I'm really pumped about my two shows this weekend. I had a finger injury just before Thanksgiving that was keeping me away from my pliers... um, complete torture... but I'm back in bidniss and I've been creating all kinds of new designs!

I hope you all can make it tonight to the Hudson County Art Slam. That's my necklace, featured on the website! Woot!

7:30pm-12am ART HOUSE PRODUCTIONS, LA OLA ORG, and ROLAND RAMOS present the “2nd Annual Hudson County Art SLAM!,” a powerful exhibition of over 30 contemporary artists freaturing fresh, new and affordable art, live painting with audience participation, live music, and cool vibes.

23 Shopping Days... Stocking Stuffers Under $10!

I love stocking stuffers. My mom would always put together these giant stockings for my sister and i, and wrap each and every tiny thing, down to individual cap erasers, with a tangerine at the toe, and we were allowed to open them the moment we got up on Christmas Day! I realize now this was because she was trying to get a couple extra minutes of shuteye after staying up all night scraping the orange Toys R Us stickers off of things.

For all of your loved ones who have a stocking in need of filling.

Oh, crocheted moustache, where have you BEEN all my life??? This nifty item from Shannon Gerard is for the person who thought they had everything.







Perfect for any girl on the go, this snazzy little pocket mirror from MadisonCraft is sure to please!




If you have a Flight of the Conchords fan in your life like I do, I recommend these tribute magnets from elloh.
um, and really pretty much anything in the store. Tribute magnets for the Office, Juno, Dirty Dancing, wow! I'm thinking you'll check at least five people off of your list!





Don't leave this bad boy out for santa to eat... This gingerbread man is a yummy soap! Check out LoveLeeSoaps for more holiday styles.





There's not much that's cuter than this snowman pendant from 3bagsfull!! love it!


And, in keeping with the spirit, how about this chocolate tangerine bath scrub from Smellsandbells? Best yet, you won't forget it in the toe of the stocking and have a rotten citrus fruit a week later. I know, I know. I was never big on oranges though.

I'm excited about this new item, and I have a hunch that there will soon be earrings as well.

Garnet Flower Pendant

Winter is in the air, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't look to spring. This delicate flower is hand-formed from silver wire, twisted with Garnet beads and an Aurora Borealis Swarovski crystal. Sure to warm up a cold snap!

Tree of Knowledge Pendant... new item at alexlady designs!

A hammered sterling teardrop frames a sprouting green tree with tiny red fruit, waiting to be plucked. This little amulet is complex and ripe with mystery.
