:: ok so back in the day when i started this blog, it was meant to inspire me in my jewelry design/making endeavors… [this is where most of you go, ooohh she’s a jewelry designer??] ..which it has, but i have gotten a little side tracked with other fun things, which is good too. but, this month i need to get crackin’ on making some new pieces and getting ready to fill my shop and the shops i sell at with goodies for the christmas season before it gets too overwhelming. ::

:: so, jessica from lost button studio and i decided to challenge ourselves to make at least one new piece a day for the month of october [weekends off, thank goodness] ::

:: so, please wish us luck!! ::

:: i’d love to hear any comments you have on my new pieces, it will really help me stay motivated!! so please let me know what you think of the new stuff.. likes/dislikes.. anything you wish to say! ::

:: and don’t worry, i’ll try to slip in a little fun [crafty things, recipes, etc] throughout the month too ::

:: i will update my shop with these new items as soon as i can get my laptop back from my hubby, but for now they are available to purchase, just email me at caroline@armellejewelry.com and i can send you an invoice to pay with paypal ::

***[update: items now posted on www.armellejewelry.com ]****

:: so, without further ado, here’s a few i’ve been working on today ::

{unakite rose 14kt gold-filled necklace, $69}

{black onyx rectangle hoop earrings [sterling], $32}

:: for some reason the web video version isn’t capturing the pictures of the jewelry too well, but it did when it was on the tv in the studio, so definately hop over to my website for a better look, i will be posting these pieces soon to purchase online ::
