Recent jewels packed up and shipped over to our friends at the Artisan Center in Denver. Loving the vintage brass chain we use, and having so much fun playing with the teeny tiny glass seed beads in all their colorful glory.
We are deep in the process of renovating our website and our shop, all new items, a new shopping place, and new site to drop by the end of March! So hold tight, we will have bounds of new jewel goodies to share with you then. Aaaand until then, you can still find us at our Etsy shop here!
Powerful, sexy, talented female voices. A few of my rotating favorites lately, with some killer videos to match!
Lana Del Rey's
debut album just officially released last week, and I can not get
enough of this video. Tigers? Flower headdresses? Renaissance ceilings?
Yes to all, and yes to her legit voice.
Kimbra's Cameo Lover makes me want to dance on top of a green hill and have bright flowers fall from the sky. And her Settle Down is a bit reminiscent of this, but on the other hand, I might actually name my daughter Nebraska Jones.
Florence + The Machine's album Ceremonials is so powerful that I bought the actual record (we don't have a record player yet!) because I got excited to hear it in it's fullness. Plus I love how she rocks shoulder pads and her bad ass red hair.
Laura Marling is at the first of my list when I'm in stuck or tired creative moments. The entire I Speak Because I Can album is beyond fantastic. And she does things like her "Experiments in Awkwardness" private and secret shows for 2 random fans at hidden locations. Sooo cool.
Weekend warriors in the Chinatown New Year celebration this past weekend. Starting with a public bus ride to the am walking tour and ending with us skipping out on the line for the filming of Cupcake Wars (usually not one to turn from anything cupcake). Instead I walked away with a $12 pair of shoes from the never ending market, a belly filled with dim sum, and ears filled with drum rhythms. Perfect day!
