Frankie And HIs Bride

I'm a huge fan of Halloween.  I don't think there's another holiday that beats it.  These Frankenstein and his bride earrings from Art Alchemy Energy http://www.artalchemyenergy.etsy.com/ are a great pair to add to your Halloween collection. 

Doggie Neccessities

My heart melted when I saw adorable little Lucy puggie wuggy.  I could just squeeze her.  Lucy is sporting a pink hat and scarf set with a skull on the scarf from Nurd Bunny http://www.nurdbunny.etsy.com/.  It's important to keep your sweet doggie warm as winter is just around the corner.  Aaaaawwww!

Decisions, Decisions

I'm looking to the future of my jewelry business.  I would like to have a collection in 2010.  I've noticed other Etsians have a collection and I always love looking at their shops.  I love that their very organized.  And who knows, I may even have some goodies from the new collection in my Etsy shop in early december.  The picture is a pair of floral chandelier earrings from Dime Store Emporium http://www.dimestoreemporium.etsy.com/ that I'm considering.  Let me know what you think, awesome choice or not a chance.  As I find unique pieces, I will post them for you to see.  Peace.

F Is For Fall

I have been so into feather headbands this Fall.  This Madalyn Flower headband by Live In Style http://www.liveinstyle.etsy.com/ would go great with this Gibson Blouse below in olive from Coco Irene http://www.cocoirene.etsy.com/.

   

Good morning everyone.  I've been diplaced because of work being done on my house.  I had to lock my three cats in my bedroom so they wouldn't bother the worker and off to the coffee house I went.  This will be a great chance to catch up on all the lovely Etsy shops and get some much needed work done.  It's quite drab in Chicago.  I hope it's sunny wherever you are.  This is where I wish I could be, on this sunny beach.  One can always dream.  Look for more updates today. 

Asian Inspired Clutch

This Asian inspired clutch purse from FIAZCO is so sweet.  I'm always looking for a nice clutch to take to a wedding or to a nice dinner.  They have a lot of different styles to choose from.  Check out the shop at http://www.fiazco.etsy.com/.  Just beautiful!

I love this shop.  Pamper your lips this Fall with their Halloween Witch Black Cherry Lip Balm.  Check out their shop at http://www.vintagebella.etsy.com/.  They have really cool vintage items and plenty of spooky items for the upcoming holiday. 

Hanging out at the coffee house.  I need to get home and get ready for my show in Chicago tomorrow.  I sell at the French Market on the corners of Broadway and Melrose.  I love selling in the city because the people are so interesting.  The Market is located in the Nettlehorst school parking lot.  The pic above is the fence around the school that's always decorated super cute by the kids.  Have a great weekend everyone!  I'll be back tomorrow to feature another amazing Etsy seller.  Peace.

Well,  the week flew by again.  There's never enough time in the day to get everything done.  Sharing a pic of my newly listed Vintage Key Necklace (the key is from the 1930s).  What mysteries does the key hold?  One will never know.  Mention this post through the convo system in my Etsy shop (http://www.caryz72.etsy.com)/  and you'll recieve 10 % off.  Have a great evening everyone!

Had a great show today in Wilmette.  The drive was far and I got a little lost but it was awesome once I got set up. 

It's been a good day.  My work space needed a bit of a makeover and I finally got around to spiffing it up.  I'm selling tomorrow at a French Market tomorrow in Wilmette, Il.  I'll be rising early.  Looking forward to it.  On Sunday, I'm going to a craft show in Schamburg, Il.  It's a large show with 250 vendors.  I love selling my jewelry but this will be a relaxing day where I can shop, shop,shop.  I will take some pics and post them after the weekend.  Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!     

Today I would like to feature one of my favorites on Etsy. SignsByDiane sells pretty shabby chic designs with a romantic feel. To see more of her work visit http://www.signsbydiane.etsy.com/ Check out

Hi, I'm getting involved with this blog so I can share my jewelry creations with you. I also want to share the work of other Etsians. I have a lot of Etsy shops that I follow everyday and love, love, love to see what other people are making.

I have other ideas for this blog like I might have a section with recipes, or share my pictures, or show my works in progress. To date, I've never really maintained a blog for any long period of time. But I've decided that since I love to write and love to make jewelry, the two could team up together and make a difference.

I'm really excited about this so check back regularly for fun updates.
