My new favorite month
Posted on 04 November 2009
Hello all (assuming anyone is reading this lapsed blog)! I’m finally back in action after almost a month of wedding planning and having (yay!) and 2 birthdays of distinguished gentlemen. Though I’ve long loved the fall, especially in the Pacific Northwest, October has now usurped all other months and taken the throne as my favorite of favorites. Pictures of all events above are forthcoming.
We got married here!
So, where does creating/making/marketing/selling jewelry come in? Well, it kind of took a backseat this past month to be honest. It’s not like one gets married every day and since we are not in the category of those with means to hire out all the wedding decisions, most of the planning went on in-house. Now that the bestdayofmylife is over, it’s time to think about the holidays, the economy and how to approach both without losing perspective, chucking it all and spending days in a coffee-cocktail induced haze trying to convince myself that I don’t miss cable television. It’s tough out there, times are tight, [insert favorite cliche here], but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible to put your work out there and have it appreciated by the thoughtful consumer. To that end, we’ve added 2 new stores (welcome Pedx and Moxsie!), updated our Supermarket portfolio and have had mentions on these fantastic blogs:
And though I can’t read it, this mention from Pepermint out of Slovenia. Rave? Slam? Who knows, but it’s cool to see your work being posted internationally.
Speaking of international, we are hard at work setting up for international shipping for the holidays! And not just Canada, though we do love our neighbors to the north. I’ll keep you posted, even if all of my readers seem to hawk scary porn and terrible meds (oh, just trollers? Makes me feel better). Our last project involves getting back to our roots, the handmaking of all things silver and gold. When and where will be available soon!

Congrats on your marriage and your beautiful jewelry. I have a couple of favorite pieces that I was fortunate enough to buy at Picture This in Eagle River! Love them!
Thanks Saundra! Great to hear from you!
It was a great wedding! The bride looked beautiful…and I was lucky enough to be a bridesmaid who received an amazing necklace and earring set.
Let’s not forget how great you looked too.
