Message in a Bottle necklaces
Last night I made these tiny "Message in a Bottle" necklaces! My illustration is on the outside of the paper. The other side is blank for you to write a secret message! Also, the heart charms are lockets! These will be for sale at the Crafty Wonderland Spring Sale TOMORROW!
Finished 4 necklaces
This morning I finished an Etsy order of 4 custom initial necklaces! Sooo cute!!! They are laying on a rock painted by my sweet friend Suki. Every time I see this happy rock sunbathing on my windowsill it makes me smile.

New Jewelry at Sweet Jayne
Happy Monday lovelies! This past week I brought TONS of A Tea Leaf handmade jewelry, Portland magnets, and greeting cards in to Sweet Jayne boutique at 19th & NE Broadway, here in Portland, Oregon. I even stocked them up with new styles; necklaces and earrings that incorporate painted seashells and wood beads. Sweet Jayne has been carrying A Tea Leaf goodies since last December. Not only do they sell locally made jewelry, but higher-end brand clothing as well. It's such a pretty boutique, it's hard to resist buying something every time I visit! This last visit I purchased two fabulous dresses. I'll be sure to post pictures of them in the future! A Tea Leaf earrings and necklaces...
A Tea Leaf compass rings, vintage glass & lucite cabochon rings...
Feel free to follow Sweet Jayne...

Hello Monday!
Here's to a brand new week! *raises latte*
I'm excited for this week, though it's not much different than the others. I'm just looking forward to what I'll accomplish this week with my art and with my design work. I've been working on a few projects for some time... wedding invitations... baby announcements... wedding website, etc. This is the week that I'm wrapping these projects up. I'm also planning on finishing the backs of my latest wooden block creations. Did you think I forgot? Nope!
Did everyone have a good weekend? Mine was pretty spiffy. Yes, spiffy. Justin & I visited the Tinymeat™ warehouse sale & Sausagefest! We munched on lil' smokies and pickles and chit-chatted with Tinymeat's owner Michael. To fill ya in, Tinymeat collaborates with artists making wallets, passport cases, and business card cases. Do check out their Etsy shop here! It was such a challenge to narrow down my wallet purchases. After going back and forth, I decided to purchase this fun goat portrait done by Ryan Berkley.
I thought this would be a great birthday gift for one of my best friends. Since she doesn't read my blog, I don't think I'm ruining the surprise. Ha ha.
More ramblings about the weekend... I watched the movie Capote. A - m - a - z - i - n - g. Philip Seymour Hoffman is becoming one of my favorite actors.
One thing I enjoy while working on my art is to watch movies. To say the least, I didn't get much accomplish while Capote was on. It's that good.
Lastly, I would like to present to you... my new batch of pendant necklaces creations!
Nurture thy Mind No.3 Pendant Necklace - Weeping Willow - purchase
Nurture thy Mind No.4 Pendant Necklace - Box Elder - purchase
Nurture thy Mind No.5 Pendant Necklace - Cherry Blossom - purchase
They each include drawings of trees that I have come across in Portland. This batch I added a pearl to each chain... for lil' something extra. I'm pretty happy how these turned out. It's going to be a little tough to give them up. He he. Kinda a bitter sweet thing... I love knowing that they are headed to a new home and again I like to think they keep happy thoughts close to one’s heart.
