...I am smitten...HOTCAKES


 Warning...this is going to be a total swoon-fest...
I have to confess an utter addiction to
Caramia's new creations.


Now I have sold her HOTCAKES DESIGN work for almost 9 years, but these new pieces go way beyond...the palette the shapes...

they are so close to all the vintage BAKELITE that is just way too spendy...and somehow, her new pieces, are just so fresh and fun... 

SWOON....

I am willing to forgo my usual lust for new Spring fashion, and instead, treat myself to some new HOTCAKES...

Here's a peek at some of her NEW NECKLACES


 


 Then there's the florals...these two are MY FAVES

 The beads...oh the beads....the long and swingy...the chunky and the colorful...
 
I want these mint ones...I am in fact, 
green with envy...over this "Mint Grand Strand"...


Then there's the earrings...
 See them all HERE...

Thanks for letting me gush...

Caramia, you really did it this time!
Thanks for the fun

bat wings & witches brew...

I absolutely adore this time of year...the leaves, the decorations, the excuse to bake as temperatures cool, and yes, everything pumpkin-flavored...

So if the caramel apples on the cover of the new issue of FOLK magazine were not enough to make me snatch it up and devour it, one page after another of delicious articles would.
Congrats to Ben Ashby on this issue...he agrees it's the best yet.  With it -- he and his crew xxoo to Heath and Hillary -- have arrived.  
 
The truth is, I like these folks 
(do I mention now they are utterly adorable and just 24 years old a piece) 
well enough that I would buy just about anything they were selling. 
 
But the fact of the matter is, they have -- with this 7th issue - produced a REALLY, REALLY -- did I say REALLY - good magazine....they have matured in style and substance, printing and well, you need to read this issue and fall in love with their tag line ----  Real. American. Living.
 
Here's a peek at the piece I did for the issue...Earth Angels fans will spot oodles of shots of Hotcakes Designs as well as a peek at creations Melody Elizabeth, Cheryl Kuhn and Jennifer Lanne...
 Thanks to Allie for being a great model.It was a crazy busy day here the day we shot this piece and all the new Lisa Leonard "heartfelt" designs (more on that day soon...)




If you did not yet order your copy, yes, we have them in stock... 
just click here to order. For $7 it's a whole lotta good reading and supports a start-up business.

Thanks to Ben once again for joining our circus 
at the recent Country Living Fair in Columbus...

If you have not yet heard, Ben will be a special guest in our Earth Angels Tent at the Atlanta Country Living Fair next month and will be signing his latest issue during our Early Buyers Breakfasts...as will Jo Packham.
Stay tuned for more.

xxoo Jen
