artful entrepreneur Clare Jordan...nice news

...I had so much fun with my column for the November issue of Where Women Create...
 
Thanks to Jo Packham for mailing it all possible and thanks and congrats to Clare Jordan for honoring me with the opportunity to share her wonderful business journey in my "Business of the Studio" column...



Clare you amaze me! 
YOU ARE A STAND OUT!

 The entire issue is a such a great read...

 ...you'll have to nab a copy of the mag to read Clare's entire story...and there are so many other fab features in this issue... one of my faves to date!

You can catch more of a view of Clare's art 



Earth Angels is a retailer for her curios, baubles and cheeky buttons 
...these are usually our biggest hit 
at The Country Living Fairs!

Thanks again Jo & CONGRATS CLARE!!!

Time to bring on the artful bling!

It's time to peek at what's new from Elements by Jill Schwartz...

 Her new creations were just posted to the site 
and this artful bling is worth a peek!
Created in Great Barrington, MA they are laden with lush details and a certain retro glam style....I love them all.

Here are my current picks for fave necklaces...
I might have to treat myself to one, I am just not sure I can resist any longer!


And here are my fave earrings....


Thanks to Jill for being so wonderful to work with over the years...
it's an honor to sell this truly talented woman's work.

xxoo Jen
