Newbies

It's been the perfect day for staying inside here. Stormy and rainy weather and it is not supposed to stop either for the next few days. Looks like there won't many leaves left on trees if that is the case.
I was perfectly content on just spending time in my studio and creating new designs. Here are a couple I made today:

One of them is a blue chalcedony druzy necklace which reminds me the cold and crisp arctic nights here in the wintertime.

German Rye Bread


Here is the german rye bread I just took out of the oven. It looks über-delicious and smells divine! I just love being inside on a stormy fall day either baking or spending time in my little studio listening to this. My absolute favorite album of the moment. This is a new band and this album will have to go into my top 10 of all time. Incredible musicians. I am also in love with Crosby Loggins new album: Time To Move. Check those two out if you like. I know you won't regret it! :-)

Busy Busy Busy

How has your week been??

Mine has been quite busy, busy creating new designs that is. I am finally able to post some new items in my Etsy shop. It's been a while since I last updated the shop.

Sales in the Etsy shop have been extremely slow in these past few months and I am not sure why. Well, I am having a complete overhaul of my shop which includes new styles of jewelry and new photography. Hope that will help to boost sales a bit. One can't just sit back relax when sales are down. In fact, I am working already on a new fall/winter collection that is called "Arctic Garden". It includes some lovely sterling silver pieces, mainly of botanical influence ( hence the name ) and polished to a tee. I am tired of the oxidized look which has its place, but this collection consists mainly of simple and shiny pieces of jewelry. Below you can see a little sneak peak of some of my latest designs of the arctic garden collection. There will be more to come in the next few days. I am still in the develop stages with some of them.

Lemme know what you think of it! Plus I am going to update the shop with some cool new prong-set pieces that include some VERY unique and beautiful stones I bought in Germany!!

I'm off to get my bread formed! I am trying out some flour I bought in Germany, he he he ( yes, they do have much better flour and way way more types to choose from ). Hope it will turn out...will let you know later...

Hope you are all doing well and are enjoying the fall as we are here in northern Norway!

See ya!
