Jens Jems trunk show


Last week I went to a jewelry trunk show. Actually make that two, but right now I will be highlighting the one hosted by my friend Sarah , the Undercover Caterer. She had her friend, jeweler extrodinaire Jen Moore bring her fine goods for all to see and buy for holiday gifts. Sarah was quite the hostess with an amazing simple spread of green salad with persimons, pommegrantate seeds, a mix of wilted greens including baby chard which is a personal favorite of mine and lastly a great homemade mac and cheese with ham. She can certainly make the most simple dishes taste gourmet and delicious.

Jen Moore has been making her handmade jewelery for many years and selling it on etsy, at craft fairs and private parties. I wanted to show a sample of some of her goods and also show what I bought!!!!


I loved this with the heart!


She has theses adorable boxes so you can wrap your goods if they're a gift.

Loved the brushed bronze circle necklace. If it was closer a certain friends birthday I might have bought it!

And lastly, here's what I bought. Pardon the bathroom shot, on this overcast day it's the only room with a mirror that would work!

Jen's Estsy shop is: http://www.jenjems.etsy.com/ You can also contact her on the link above by clicking on her name! Ciao!

Blue Art Studio & my "time warp" gift


This year for Christmas in my extended family we are picking names out of a hat and only getting one gift rather than the dozen or so we normally end up giving and receiving. My creative interior designer cousin Lisa wanted to come up with a theme for the gifts and ended up with a "time warp" gift theme. I have been sending out ideas to my cousin and she's passing the ideas to her Mom who's not internet savvy and needed suggestions. I am crossing my fingers on a few things including a subscription to Atomic Ranch and I wanted this clock that was on my friends blog bows and sparrows the other day but low and behold it's already sold out.

Today I found this great print that is fun and I suppose could constitue a time warp gift theme, yes? Blue Art Studio had this beauty. Cross your fingers for me that I will get it. Check out the other ones on their website too. Some good stuff on there. Go Charles Eames!!!!
