new jewelry

Our neighbors at the Catskill Country Store will have a few pieces of my jewelry for sale starting this week. The little market is our favorite for local produce, honey, eggs, milk, bacon and butter! We visited the store on our first visit to Catskill for their hot coffee, as it was very cold outside. Since then we returned on every visit, charmed by the friendly owners Chuck and Carol. This will be the first time my work will be back in stores since the hurricane last year!

plastic bag necklaces!







I wanted to make some lightweight necklaces for summer and I remembered intending on expanding upon the braided plastic bag idea a while ago. This is a small collection I came up with for Old Hollywood.

special request







remember Kate? you might think I'm making her up at this point- as if anyone could be that cool. so Kate came to me with an unusual request. her sister recently finished nursing school- and at the same time finished cancer treatment. so she requested that I design a necklace around her chemotherapy port. and this is what I came up with. I decided to go beyond the mixed chain thing I've been doing and accent the port with special treasures like coffee seeds and a sparkling piece of ruby. In this way I thought of the port as a talisman- something that had magical powers and had brought her sister good health and fortune.

clothes pin sample sale





big news! clothes-pin proprietor karen young has her sample sale back up and running, and I'm joining her again. this time around she's featuring a different designer each week. My sample sale launched this morning, and we're selling pieces at a variety of price points- from $21.50 to $110.(shipping included) Some of these pieces never made it to the website or out to any stores, so this is a great opportunity to grab something that's never been seen.

new pieces


Pink Tassel Necklace. I love to take chain tassels apart and put them back together, improved. Here I've replaced the base metal wire with lovely copper wraps that have been antiqued and polished. The tassel is hung on pink vintage Japanese chain. Seriously.


I found a use for this bracelet chain of copper diamonds. (I was stashing it away in all honesty.) A weird thing happens when you buy vintage to sell- some pieces tug at you and are hard to part with. Like you're never going to find anything like it again! So here I've made it into a little charm bracelet. The tiny charm that's hiding is a Finnish penny. (penni)


This pendant was a brooch- the tassels hang in slight graduation.


Chunky Amber cuff links. They were sitting in my "to polish" pile for many months. When the weather got nice I brought a big batch out back and went at them with the dremel and tripoli. The findings are made from Alpaca, a metal alloy used to mimic sterling silver. They fooled me to the point that I almost listed them as sterling, until I noticed the hallmark stamp.


Mary Brooch. These little vintage pieces amaze me. Names and such are spelled out in a single piece of square wire, ending in the pin back. They're usually backed by shell, and this one is carved to look like a pair of kissing love birds.
