Wooooo

Snagged another Treasury--this one is inspired by my love of houses as a decorative motif.

Back from vacation, laden with stuff

Sorry to have left this blog hanging so long, but I've been off celebrating my birthday in Hyannisport for a week, which was wonderful, but far too short.

While we were there, we found a really great stamping and scrapbooking store called Colorful Creations, which had the best selection of gorgeous papers and embellishments I've ever seen in one place. We went insane there, and should be posting the fruits of our labors very soon--we've got some really neat new ideas cooking, and we'd better start selling them soon to make back some of our splurging. :o)

One of my favorite new toys is the UTEE Melting Pot. You can embellish the hell out of pretty much everything with this thing, and I'm planning to make it a big part of our new line. Has anyone been using one of these? They're kind of exciting in their limitless...ness.

c * o * l * o * r

We're going to be introducing a new line of shrinky-dink earrings soon, called the Mobiles, so I thought I'd share some of the initial photos here. I've decorated each of the shrinky charms with watercolors and stamps, and then hung them with some fabulous vintage resin beads.

I love the way these look, if I do say so myself. They are just the sort of colorful bits of whimsy that never fail to draw my eye. I hope they're not too over-the-top for people who...aren't me. :o)

Dillon Designs in Chicago

More retail news--our designs can now be found in the Midwest!

Specifically, at Habit, a Chicago boutique dedicated to promoting emerging design talent. It's completely fab and swanky, and we're so excited to be there!

Shadowy Figures

It's been weeks, but I finally snagged another Etsy Treasury--I picked a silhouettes theme for this one...

Candy Plum

Starting next week, our necklaces can be found at Candy Plum in Astoria, an adorable boutique that fosters new and emerging clothing and accessories designers.

Yay!

Brooklyn Indie Market, Saturday June 9

We'll be back at the Brooklyn Indie Market next Saturday, June 9th with tons of new pieces. We had a great time there last month, so we're hoping for more of the same. The market is open from 11-7, and it's located at Smith and Union Street in Cobble Hill.

Serimony

dillon designs can now be found at our very first local location--Serimony in Brooklyn. This is an adorable little shop full of handmade goods, along with gorgeous blockprinted cards and custom stationary made by the owner, Karen. I just delivered a dozen necklaces there yesterday, and I'm thrilled that we're joining the other great lines there--especially Triggerhappy, whose jewelry I LOVE.
