Long Time Since A Post- Update

Wow, it's been a long time since I posted. I still have my shop, but I don't have the time that I use to. I am a Mother now of a 20 Month old and I try to find time to work on my shop while he has a nap. I'm not sure how it will work once he doesn't nap. Hopefully by then he will be in school or preschool. I love my son so much and motherhood is damn hard and rewarding at the same time. I have a much greater appreciation for my own mother who I have always known was awesome, but now I have a bigger love for her.

Things change, and just before my son arrived my dog died. Gosh I loved that dog with all my heart and I don't know how we go on when our pets die. She was so funny and kind hearted and I miss her dearly. I think of her daily and wish we had a few more years with her.

I've changed the look of my jewelry and with that I am able to access stones that I really love. Labradorite is one of my favorite stones and you can find a lot of different pendants available in my shop. I have a lot of Turquoise as well as Jasper stones and a few other types of stones that I am drawn to. I love how my shop is running right now and I hope that I can have an awesome year because my family needs it right now. We are saving so that we make some changes in our life. I'm not ready to speak about it fully at the moment, but I will post some personal news soon.

Anyway, here is a look at some new items in my shop. Find me on instagram!

Summer Catch Up

What a wonderful summer I have been having! The weather has been great and I have had the time to get out. Check out my Instagram for photos and to see what I have been up to, like my trip to the ROM, Center Island, Brickworks, and more. I know I have been missing from my blog, and I have been posting most of my photos on my Instagram page just because it has been a bit easier for me to keep up with.

I have been adding a lot of new product to my LOVE n LAVISH shop for back to school and gearing up for the busy Christmas rush. I also have been teaching myself a bit of metalsmithing, and my goal is to have some beautiful copper and silver rings made for you, and listed up in my shop for Christmas time. Check out my shop for my current stock.

I hope you have a great weekend and I thought I would share that I am going to be holding a Giveaway in the next day or two, so stay tuned!

What is your favorite healing stone and why?

What's New in June

I hope that you have been enjoying the beginning of summer. We have been getting a lot of rain, but there have been some nice sunny hot days to enjoy, like today.

I have been updating my shop slowly and even changing my stock a bit. Here are some fresh new items in my shop, such as a personally hand sawed boho cactus, lots of healing stones with some real beauties like the Emerald and Lapis and Citrine I have added.  I will be adding a few more bracelets to my shop, but right now I have a stunning blue stacking bracelet and a lovely ceramic yoga OM encircled by a lotus flower. I hope you see something you like from my shop, and if you do, please enjoy this 25% off coupon : Instagive25  shared here on my blog and Instagram.  Also if you are wondering where I have been and why my blog entries are so sparse, check out my Instagram page and you can see much more of what i'm up to.

Shop Work

I've been working on making some more new inventory for the spring. I love coming up with new ideas or reworking older items that need new photos. So, this weekend I have been working hard. Here are a few new items and photos:

I hope you had a great weekend and I know I'll be watching The Walking Dead later, I hope it's a good one.

Work in Progress

The last few weekends and days off work have been spent working on my Etsy shop LOVE n LAVISH. I know that with summer practically here It's time for me to add new items and more products. I love the whole process too, of creating a piece with the beautiful materials I have, taking photos and then hours of Edits in Photoshop to correct lighting and make the best image crops. I've adding some beach/summer inspired products too, since I love wearing that kind of jewelry in the summer (seahorses and starfish).

I have also been collecting some really beautiful flowers and leaves and thinking about ways to improve and change the style of my pressed flower jewelry. I love working with flowers and resin, but this year I want to change up the look a little. I'm still thinking about it, but do expect more brass pendants with flowers and leaves very soon!

Just a preview here today! Have a great week!
