We've decided to expand one of our new collections--Above the Treetops--with lots and lots of new bird items. Here are a few of the new designs:

New Custom Order

Here's a shot of a new custom necklace order that's going out today--is this the cutest dog or what? Look at that smile!

This Saturday @ TheMarket NYC

This Saturday, 5/26, we'll be exhibiting in Nolita at TheMarket NYC--aka The Young Designers Market--at 268 Mulberry Street, btwn Houston and Prince. The show runs from 11am to 7pm.

This will be our first time there, so fingers and toes are crossed...

Thanks to Blooming Lily!

Many thanks to Laurie Warshawsky for featuring us today on Blooming Lily, her fabulous blog on style, fashion, jewelry and beauty. She picks such wonderful artists to feature, so we're honored to be in their company.

Laurie's an amazing jewelry designer in her own right--be sure to check out her site Elle-A-Belle for some of the most vibrant, lovely beaded designs we've seen.

Carmen, Venus and Pablo

Before I leave, I just had to post some info about Carmen, Venus and Pablo--three Chihuahuas that were recently born without their two front legs. As you may know, my mom and I have out own Chihuahua, Nessarose, with the same affliction--she only has her two back legs.

These three little guys have been getting lots of press lately--probably because they are so flipping adorable--and they're a great reminder of what can happen when breeders get careless and greedy.

I wish I could take all three of these guys. They're currently at the North Shore Animal League in Long Island, but I'm sure with all the attention, they'll be off to a wonderful home soon!

You can see a video of them here. It's eerie for me to watch it, because they look so much like Nessa!

Off To The Cape

This whole week me, my mom and the pups are going to be in Cape Cod for our yearly getaway. There has been so much to do before we can leave--lots of deadlines all at once--that I feel like we are really going to need the break. It will still be kind of a busman's holiday, since I'm planning to get alot of new designs completed while we're there, but it will be a lot less hectic and much, much prettier. :o)

Songbirds

We seem to be really loving birds around here these day, with these new songbird earrings the latest product to show for it.
