Delicate Earrings at Sahaira Salon in Oakland

Today I dropped off a new supply of small, delicate earrings at the Sahaira Salon on College Avenue in Rockridge (Oakland.) Stop on by and you'll find these cuties, along with a selection of semi-precious stone earrings as well. Oh, and get a great hair-cut from Shari while you're at it!

Hopefully I'll be back here with some good news for all of you later this week as well! In the meantime, I leave you in suspense. . .

Whiskey Quartz and Steel

Wow! Where has the time gone! Yes I am full of excuses as to why this blog has been so quiet for the last month, and a whole post (or two) is soon to come that will explain it all, along with a blog makeover and more regular postings. I have many plans for this new year, including some blog giveaways (which I'm greatly looking forward to) and some new features and other random fun stuff.

But in the meantime I thought I'd bring you my "item of the week" post a day early!

Gypsy Hoops

Wednesday item of the week in my Etsy Shop!

These hoops are a new design in my shop. The best part? They come with the semiprecious stone of your choice to hang on the hoops, and if you choose, you can wear more than one at once, or switch them out and wear them individually. So you get multiple different looks with the same pair of earrings. Right now, and for a limited time, I'm offering a free pair of stone dangles with every purchase of hoops!

These earrings feature a lovely array of stones in gorgeous fall colors: citrine, andalucite, peridot, spinel, green garnet, sylvinite, and two large chunks of rutilated quartz.

This week I thought I'd feature an item that will soon no longer be available. I will only be making one more pair of these beauties and then this design will be discontinued.

Good things come in threes

I'm not much of a numerologist (although, give me time and I'm liable to grab a book on the matter and start reading) but I've always loved the number three and numbers divisible by three. . .

I figured since this is the first time I've put new work in my Etsy shop in about three months (I gasp when I see that in print) I figured I do it in threes. . .

inspiration: crows swooping and diving through the branches of redwood trees, finding bits of this and pieces of that to take back to their nests

I bring you a trio of new swoops to my shop. Brass, copper, and silver-platted copper, all are accented by spinel stone, all are inspired, to one extent or another by the fall season.

inspiration: the way foggy mornings feel so mysterious, the air a thick swirl of possibilities, all of the starlings lined up on the neighborhood fences waiting for the sun to break through

inspiration: the tiny brown, white, tan, and black sparrows greeting the mornings with their cheerful chirps perched in the spindly white-bark branches of birch trees

I hope that everyone's autumn is coming along nicely. I, for one, am definitely feeling the strong pull of the seasons. I want to make large batches of tomato sauce (with the last of the tomatoes from our very very late summer) to save in the freezer for the middle of winter, and walk through piles of crunchy leaves. Curl up with a steaming mug of mulled cider, and start thinking about what dress I want to wear for Thanksgiving dinner. Mainly, I want to hibernate a bit, and while I can't completely go into hibernation, I can find my own little moments and make them that!

I hope everyone is having a lovely beginning to their fall season.
