A long time coming...

Well folks, as Liz is back in the saddle, so am I. Sort of.

Being back in school is harder than I expected it to be, and it's keeping me busier than I've ever been before. However, I am still enjoying it and am happy to be on this path. The most serious drawback is the complete lack of free time, which means that I have have almost no time at all to spend on making the world a more beautiful place one piece of jewelry at a time.

However, our friend Carin back in Massachusetts is on the board of the Western Massachusetts branch of a really fantastic non-profit called Dress for Success. It's an organization that helps women get back into the work force and back on their feet after they've been down an out.




Lucky Lizard Art Design has been a sponsor of their spring fundraiser gala two years in a row, and I was flattered this year when Carin asked if I would donate a few pieces to their fall silent auction.

So I pulled out the old bead box , and put together a few things that will hopefully bring in some money for them in November.


In the near-ish future, I'll also be attempting to carve out some time to make my mother a turquoise bracelet to celebrate her birthday, and I have commissions in the wings for a pair of enameled earrings (thankfully those are a mother's day gift, so I'll have plenty of time to work on them), and a set of wine charms.

I also have plans for a home party next month. As always, I'll keep you posted.

So in the meantime, enjoy our jewelry, our catalog and our portfolio, and feel beautiful.
