Simple Sparkle

I've been obsessed with rhinestone disco ball beads for the last few months. Can't really explain what it is about them, but the sparkle, the texture, and the coming together of little pieces make for a fun look to add to my jewelry design. To balance the detail of a single disco ball, I paired it with a handful of smooth glass pearl beads for a simple and asymmetrical yet balanced look.








To match the Simple Sparkle necklace, we have Simple Sparkle bracelets in a rainbow of colored beads!


From cool to bold, all perfect shades for summer.


And some Simple Sparkle drop earrings.



Love.

*all honey my heart chains and findings are gold fill and good quality.

Light, Lucite, Love Necklace

A clear faceted lucite bead, flanked by a cream glass pearl and rhinestone disco ball, create a sweet and shiny centerpiece for this necklace. Cut to reflect light, the clear lucite brings a brightness and depth to the look. It also captures light nicely.


The lucite love necklace has been displayed recent craft and design shows I've participated in, receiving a good reception from shoppers so I listed it in the etsy shop.





I love how wearing the lucite love necklace is like wearing some light.

Hooray for Thursday! We're almost to the weekend.

LOK'D Jewelry by Gadgiz Galore

I was walking around browsing truckit vendor booths and this one caught my eye instantly. The jewelry had a mix of modern style, pyramid studs, futuristic feel, TRON style awesomeness. The booth design and setup made you want to linger and take in every detail. The whole package made me want to know more. After chatting with design mastermind, Jase, I found out that the building block of LOK'D jewelry is Lego! Each custom handmade piece is hand crafted using Lego pieces. Childhood toys re-purposed for today's jewelry? Yes, please!




Statement rings.


These lego pieces look like gems. Too amazing.


A few necklaces.


More statement rings. I love how the spiky points on the rings look like uncut gems.




Jase!


All black lego LOK'D logo.

Hearts and a Little Shop Update

We are a little over a month away from one of my favorite holidays, Valentine's Day, and in anticipation of a very lovely day, I've begun to put together some heart themed cards. A few doilies, some Japanese masking tape, glitter heart stickers, and voila: layered love cards :) Look out for more in the next week!!

I've also listed two new items in the honey my heart etsy shop:

A very feminine gold flowers and cream pearl bracelet. Really love how it's reminiscent of a corsage, looking very soft and sweet on your wrist.


And because I can never get enough purple and gold, this flirty and fun purple bead and gold earrings.

Hope everyone is having a good week. Who's excited for the 3 day weekend?!

Masking Tape and Glittered Hearts

Purple flower patterned Japanese masking tape + glittered hearts = some new packaging boxes for honey my heart jewelry :)

EtsySB and Coffee at the French Press

A rainy day could not stop local crafters and shoppers from attending the Coffee: Etsy SB Trunk Show at the French Press today. Twelve Santa Barbara etsy shops gathered together to share our handcrafted pieces with each other and the shoppers of city. It was a fun day with artsy people in a cozy atmosphere.


This fun display next to mine housed three shops.


Soft and pretty knits by the sweet b.


Green bags!! Sunday Girl Designs has reusable snack and sandwich bags, mesh produce bags you can take to the supermarket, and messy bags. All products are great to use in lieu of plastic bags.


I bought a set of mesh bags for my mom who mentioned wanting something similar for her produce :)


Leather cuffs by Stacy Lynn Designs. She also has recycled leather purses, and pretty vintage style aprons.


The aprons come as full cover-ups, half skirts, tiered, and in such great prints, too.


Lots of cuteness at Giggle Sparkle including vintage stickers, cutesy cartoon magnets, check book covers, wallets, and bottle cap magnets.


More cuteness in these bows and clips by Hair Bows by Robin. I spied a few Hello Kitty options, which was just awesome.


Fun charm necklaces and flowers by Twin Bella. Their chain options are silver, copper, brass, and they have lots of vintage charms and lockets.


Eco friendly and colorful prints on these creatures by cimmerii were a favorite. She makes owls, bunnies, birds, dolls. So cute!


Eco friendly is definitely a great thing, and another vendor who provided us with it was ecozuzu. Their apparel has fun art graphics silk screened on earth friendly pieces.


Super soft cashmere pieces by Voladora Design.


Statement earrings by Rogue Butterfly are bohemian and sweet, made up of lots of fun materials.


I loved these earrings.


AyaPapaya does feather extensions for your hair. A few girls were rocking the look, which was very fun.


She also had huge feather earrings, all of which look great on.


Hubs sometimes sat at (manned) my table. Below are a few of the details.


Changed the colors in my logo to match the entire display. It was attached to lots of colorful circles on my supply box.


Asymmetrical fire polished bead necklaces, beaded wreath necklace, and two large chrysanthemum and beads necklaces.


The mix and match earrings and rings were quite popular. Loved giving shoppers the opportunity to choose the colors and flowers of the rings and earrings.


Rainy Hello Kitty for a rainy day had to be part of my table.


Hanging from this branch display were leafie necklaces, flower wreath necklaces, and gold charm necklaces.


The popular camera charm necklace :)


Dangling earrings.


I heart the look of fire polished beads. Their shine and charm go well with the gold plated chain and flower.


And a new beating hearts design box for my jewelry. I think the sparkle adds just enough fun for the holidays :)

It was a great event and I'm so glad I was able to meet and greet with local SB etsy people. We've got a small community, but it's full of talented people with amazing shops. Hope you can check them out. Also heard there would be more events in the future, will definitely let you know :)
