14kt gold filled chain upgrade option …

July 12, 2011

good news!

i am now offering a 14kt gold filled chain upgrade in my shop.
way back when i started armelle jewelry, i only offered my gold necklaces in 14kt gold filled chain.  i got a lot of requests to make my necklaces more affordable, so in the past few years i switched over to gold-plated chain so i could pass on the savings to my customers.

but, i would still like to offer my customers a higher quality option.  so, in the armelle shop there is now a listing to upgrade any gold necklace to 14kt gold filled chain!

happy shopping!  and, don’t forget, all remaining sale items have free shipping!

lemon tarragon vinaigrette …

July 7, 2011

I love anything with fresh lemons!  The smell alone is just amazing!
In the summertime, I love to eat all the fresh produce that is available, and salads are a daily meal for me.  I was experimenting in the kitchen last week hoping to make a yummy vinaigrette with lemon in it.  I was so pleased with the outcome!  This sweet lemon vinaigrette really screams summer to me!   It is even good just drizzled over some summer berries!
{Lemon Tarragon Vinaigrette}
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about three lemons)
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup champagne vinegar
1 tsp dried tarragon flakes (you can use fresh, just use about 2 tsp chopped)
1 cup vegetable oil
In a blender, blend all ingredients together, except for the oil.   Slowly drizzle in the oil as it blends.
Serve over salad, and store in the fridge.
Enjoy!
