...this is an overdue view...


If anyone is looking, yes, I am late....maybe not "again" -- since it seems that I am in a constant state of frenetic activity...so I will say I am late, "still".

I am late in giving you that promised peek at my fave parts of the NY Gift Fair...so as the orders I placed with Kathy at the Fair a few weeks back start to arrive...I had just better give you that peek I promised.

OHHHHHH and lookie lookie here I am with Jodie Z. of Tokyo Milk...if you have not yet tried their stuff, stop the world and do. But with a warning; you might get addicted.



Here are the KBD girls and their fab designs...

...more of their uber cuffs and Ts are on their way to Earth Angels.



Stay tuned for their arrival and the newsletter I will ask Michelle to send to you via e-mail brain newsletter if you are on our jewelry mailing list (if you aren't, email me and I will add you!)

And ohhhh ahhh look at these glories from "Rebel"...I first saw these cuffs at The Paula Shop and then met Natasha back in December at Jingle and have been dreaming of them since...



Here are a few peeks at other fab finds there -- not artists I work with...but I definitely admire their work!

Debbie Tucci of "Glitterlimes" -- I have a few of her totally wonderful "food" pieces from when my sister-in-law owned a gift shop...they are pure silly and I like that!




Amy Pfaffman really understands the everyday and elevates it in her jewelry...

And of course, Curly Girl Design, here are the gals and Kathy chatting it up...

And yes yes there's new fabulousness coming from Sugarboo, AT-CHOO, Metal Monk, Goldbug, and Krys Kirkpatrick among others...
stay tuned for more peeks and scroll back a few blog posts to see news on AT-CHOO and Metal Monk...

"still" working on it...

there's new magic...


Fab new things are on their way to us from Elaine. Her
AT-CHOO designs have always sent me, but her newest top the charts.

Wee bottles on dainty chains, "emergency wishes". "pearl's of wisdom", "guardian angel's wings", "splinters from the magic mirror" and more are signature fare from this talented designer. I am smitten with all she creates, and I am especially fond of how she is now using linen to make wonderful raw edged bracelets.







Catch some more of her offerings on her page, and stay tuned for more news on her work.

And a big thanks to wonderful Elaine for sharing her style...and her whimsy with us.

Art and the Celery City...


Sanford, FL has to be one of my new fave places...on the planet. Incidentally, if you like celery, you have Sanford to thank for it, but that's another story for antoher day.

Sanford is a small town with a big history...it's Old Florida with a new energy and it plays host to a downtown that has come back to life thanks to a thriving arts community much spearheaded by the Jeanine Taylor Folk Art Gallery...and on top of all that, it welcomed the Earth Angels and the Art Girls' RoadShow for out 5th Annual "heART of winter" last weekend. And my, was it a wonderful event...

Those of you who made the trip know what a special weekend we shared...and to those of you that could not...we missed you (but there will be a next time)! There's oodles of images below...

Many thanks to Jeanine Taylor of the Jeanine Taylor Folk Art Gallery and her business partner Robin Marks, her husband Howard Marks and of course Mary Shaw -- gallery manager -- for making it all a wonderful experience and a huge success for all involved.

And thanks to my wonderful folks, Jim and Rosie, who made the trip to join in the fun, to Linda our#1 cheerleader and to Marie, who made it just work!




Thanks too, to Jane Dagmi for making the trip and taking it all in...

And a heartfelt thanks to participating artists Magda Trzaski, Deirdre Friebely, Diana Card, Melody Elizabeth Doyel, Debbee Thibault, Laurie Meseroll and Jennifer Lanne. Each of these talented women created work for the event and I was overwhelmed once again. Stay tuned for sneak peeks of their latest creations via our e-mail newsletters, facebook and this blog...



































SOOOOO be sure to mark your calendar for 3/2 and 3/3 when we will next visit...plans are already in the works!
