Craft Love Blog is Moving!

I decided to move this blog over to Wordpress on my own site on my own server...after converting my website from Flash to Wordpress to help with SEO.

I do hope you'll follow me over!
Thanks so much for reading over the years!

Valentine's Trunk Show!

Thanks to all who came out to the Lovely Austin Trunk Show on February 12th. It was a lot of fun! Stay tuned for the next event! I have a lot of pieces there right now, so check it out of you want something new to add to your wardrobe!

Right now, I am busy working on custom work and new designs. I got a lot of fun, vintage jewelry at estate sales last weekend; I can't wait to give new life to some of the pieces!

New banner!

That's me! I forgot to take photos 'til the very end, so I look like I am about to run out the door!

You can see some Black & Blue Letterpress simple, sweet "I Love You" cards

End of Year SALE!

I'm offering 20% off in my shop until the new year (on non-custom items)! Use coupon code "newyear20" at checkout. I only have a few necklaces in the shop now, but I will be adding new items in the next two weeks as I get them photographed and listed from my remaining inventory, so please check back!

I also took a lot of my latest designs to Lovely Austin last weekend, so you can check my new work out there, too, if you're in the Austin area! They have so much cute stuff there right now--I walked out with a funky sweater top and some cute earrings made from recycled glass and feathers!

Happy Holidays!

Wondercraft Blog Feature

Wondercraft featured me on their blog:

Wondercraft Grand Opening... Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Wondercraft Grand Opening. It was a blast! I got to meet some awesome crafty ladies (and gents) and see some of my favorite faces! It really makes me want to do more shows in the future (this was only my second one), and I learned a lot (about how to secure displays in the wind... always having tape and rocks and lights on hand...how to set up credit card processing, and more). Thanks to the ladies of the Wondercraft for the opportunity, too.

Local talent at Lovely Austin!

New Earrings in my Shop!

Hi everyone! How's your new year going?

It's been a slow month for new designs--too many other things going on: car shopping with the fiance, wedding planning, busy work schedule, parties and get-togethers, beer-making, birthday party planning, and volunteering. I'm looking forward to getting a chance to work on new jewelry this weekend!

I did manage to finally get these three cute, new earrings listed:

{Vintage Lucite Mod Hoops in Pink or Lilac.}
