Bleeding Hearts in NYC!

I have been so busy running my new store that I somehow didn't realize that all the flowers have started blooming in our backyard! I couldn't resist posting this picture of our beautiful Bleeding Hearts--if you've never seen them, you are really missing out! These were my favorites when I was growing up in North Carolina. After my parents sold the house I grew up in, I thought I would never get to enjoy these flowers again. And now, magically, they are blooming in my backyard! Thanks, of course, to my amazing dad who drove them up to us in NYC last April. So, there you have it--we are in the middle of our beautiful, early spring here in NYC and I could not be happier!

Also, everything at my new store has been going really well. Not that I haven't been having several minor freak outs every week, but that seems like par for the course when you have your own brand new small business!

To keep up with sales at the store, I have also been making a lot of new jewelry lately. It's a lot of work to always be making new pieces, but it's also incredibly fun, especially because as the designer, I get to make anything I want! I love testing out new pieces and seeing how people react. This pair of earrings is one of my brand new designs, and I love it because it combines two of my all-time favorite elements in jewelry--silver hoops and unique gemstones! I love when pieces manage to be organic and industrial at the same time. Silver hoops are the staple of my daily jewelry, and I think these amethyst pieces are especially beautiful and special, especially when paired with the hoops. See more about them and my other earrings HERE.

And here's a new necklace that I finally added to my website--it's been one of my best-sellers at the store, so I figured maybe people would like to buy it online too! You can find it and the rest of my new necklaces HERE.

Happy Spring everyone!!!!
