My Evening

I know, as interesting as the title of this post sounds, you are going to get a post about what my evening consisted of... Brace yourself for some major excitement ;)

First of all, there was wonderfulness in yummy cookies... The chocolate chip cookies my sister brought to me, and the chocolate cookies are supposed to be chocolate cannoli cookies with pistachios. I made those this past weekend, and I had extra filling so I just put it on top of one of them :)

I worked on packaging up some goodies for a lovely customer in my etsy shop. Especially fun this time of year. The results:

And I added a little suprise gift with her necklaces...

I so enjoy wrapping for the holidays... Probably one of my favorite things to do. I get so excited giving a gift that is wrapped up beautifully and creatively. It makes the magic and wonder and love of giving and receiving that much more memorable and wonderful :) 

Rebekah is Now a Model

Well, at least as of today when she modeled for my new shop pictures :) She was a good sport, and I think they turned out pretty well! Check out some of the new pics! And way to go Bekah! I thank you much!

    

Winter Inspired

I've got some new pieces in the jewelry shop this week, and a few of them are very wintry. I love colors that remind me of winter's chilly charms, with deep blues and subtle whites. Frosty color schemes just happen to be some of my favorites :)

 

And here's another new piece, with a wonderful antique and old lace feel. 

And finally, a fall-inspired headband that is now a part of my end of fall sale

Introducing My New Jewelry Shop on Etsy!

So I am finally putting my jewelry and accessories up for sale on etsy. I'm using my previous username that I used to buy things with before I became a seller and created my artofjenna account. I will now have a link to this new shop on the right side of the page------------->
My new shop can be found here: jenmarie0324.etsy.com

Featured on Sykin's One Stop Etsy Shopping Guide

I was so excited to come home today and find a note in my inbox with a link to this feature! This is so beautifully done, and I am so excited to get to be a part of Missie's blog. If you get the chance, take a look around her blog-- it is really fantastic with some great shops and items featured. What a wonderful collection!

                                     

New Handmade Earrings

So I have started learning how to make different pieces of jewelry, not really to sell but I thought it might be nice to include a little gift with purchases from my Etsy shop. I made my first 2 pairs of earrings tonight, and I think they turned out pretty well! Maybe I will eventually include these as little gifts, or I might work on more fabric flowers and make headbands, bangles, and such. But for now, I think I'm going to like wearing my new handmade creations. And I'm so proud of myself! :)
