Happy Friday all! I’ve been busy working on some new jewelry designs for Ever So Lovely and I thought I would share them with you. My collage necklaces are one of a kind works of art incorporating vintage findings. As some of you know, I’ve been designing under my line Creativ*Bee but everything is moving over to my Ever So Lovely brand. Let me know what you think and I hope you love them as much as I do! You can find them in my Ever So Lovely Etsy shop here.

Who doesn’t love fashion that is colorful, carries a pattern and is reversible? Yes, reversible can be a bad thing sometimes but not with the uber cute cape designed by Lia from liasspace.com. Lia is an ex-civil engineer and mother of two girls who calls Jakarta, Indonesia home. She created this Japanese design for a gift swap and I know the person who received this had to be giddy! So cute! If you would like to design this for yourself, Lia has graciously listed the tutorial on her website here! Be sure to check out her blog for more fabulous ideas to make yourself!

I love handmade gifts and when I first saw the one of a kind teddy bears created by Pussman and Company I was taken back to my childhood. Each of these bears are handmade and hand dyed to create a rare work of art that can be handed down from generation to generation. The emerald green bear is my favorite and each one of these adorable creatures would make a lovely gift for any child on your holiday list.

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great start to your week by finding some fabulous deals online since it’s Cyber Monday! I haven’t had a chance to partake in anything since I am currently under the weather but never the less the lovely must go on! I received word today that I was accepted into The Rock and Shop Market which is happening this Saturday in Durham NC. If you haven’t heard of this awesome show then you need to! I’ve been a participating designer at The Rock & Shop for a couple of years now and every year it keeps getting bigger and better!

Not only is this Saturday’s show a perfect time to get out and buy something handmade from local designers but it’s also at two pretty cool venues: Motorco Music Hall & Fullsteam Brewery in Durham. There will also be a fashion show, live bands (The Ox Magnolia and Onward, Soldiers), a DJ, food trucks (Only Burger, DaisyCakes, Slippin Sliders and Klausies Pizza) plus 60 designers with a ton of handmade items up for grabs. Hope to see you there!
