Happy New Years Eve!!!

Today is the last day of 2010. Its been quite a year, and I'm excited to see what 2011 will bring.

Even though its not jewelry, I just had to repost this DIY how to from maison des reveries blog. Its a great way to amp up a basic hoodie.
Check out the blog for all the directions! Going on my to do craft list for 2011!

Inspiring Me Today

Im so sleepy I can barely even keep my eyes open! I wanted to post a few things that inspire me since Ive been so behind. I try to post images everyday of things that inspire me: things that make me happy, nostalgic, creative, thoughtful, or anything that makes me feel well...anything.




Goodnight!

Satomi Kawakita Jewelry

One of my favorite things in jewelry is texture. Texture makes a simple design into something truly drool worthy. Satomi Kawakita has mastered the use of texture, and even has a whole section of the website devoted to textured rings.

Odette Jewelry

Odette Jewelry is all made in New York and designed by super talented designer Jennifer Sarkilahti. A few of my favorites:


 The rings above were inspired my mountain peaks! So fun!

Triskaidekaphobia

Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of the number 13. It is also the name of a great jewelry company.
 This ring is so cool, it depicts one of my favorite all time scenes (I have prints of this in my house and am thinking of it for a tattoo) of the kraken (big octopus essentially) and a boat. I cant believe I found it in ring form. This one is for sure on the list to buy.

Find all this and a lot more amazing stuff here.

I. Love. Kites.

Obviously I love Kites, given the name of the business. I think they are extremely fun, whimsical and child like while still maintaining beauty.
