New Snap Necklace Pendants

We have some new items listed in our online store that I thought I would share with you. We have been adding new items on a weekly basis and you can keep up to date by checking our "new items" page in our online store.

These are some gorgeous new snap base pendants we recently added to our snap pendant section.  They all have our original clip clasp bail for interchanging onto various necklace chains or cords. 

These pendants are shown with our new deluxe twisted rope necklace chains.  They are stainless steel plus a mixed gold plated stainless steel making them hypoallergenic and tarnish resistant!   They are available as an upgrade when purchasing one of our snap base pendants or also sold separately in our necklace chains section.

Right now until the end of May (midnight Wednesday, May 31), take 20% off any of our snap base pendants by using the coupon code shown below:

Our First Day at the Shuswap Artisan Market

The grand opening of the Shuswap Artisan Market in Sorrento was last weekend.  Dave and I had our first shift at the store on Sunday and was a very enjoyable day.

Rebecca of Uberustic Natural Skin Care was there as well that day and set up her soap making demo and fun selfie photo booth outside.

And this is a display of her handmade natural skin care products that are for sale in the store.

We had a demo set-up that day as well to show how we make a cane and sculpt our signature lady bugs like the ones on these dishes which are now available in the new store.  

We also added a selection of our flip flop necklaces and earrings which are quite popular during the summer season.

With 21 local artists in the shop, there is a wide variety of handcrafted items and fresh new items arriving on a regular basis.  We will be sharing a little bit about the other artists over time but in the meantime, here is a sneak peek of a few of the various items that are for sale there.

New Interchangeable Jewelry at Silhouette Fashion Boutique

We have some new interchangeable necklace designs from our Snap Decisions Collection which are now in our online store and also available at the Silhouette Fashion Boutique in Salmon Arm.   Most of the clothing Silhouette carries are from Canadian designers and makers including Joseph Ripkoff, Frank Lyman and Picadilly.  The selection of items is amazing with something for everyone.

 I was just there this week and took some photos to show off our necklaces with their gorgeous selection of clothing.  If you do not live in our area or cannot make it to the store, I should mention that you can buy all the items they have on their website!

I have linked up the photos on both websites for easier shopping.  Simply click on the photos to see more about each item.

Our New Shuswap Artisan Market Opening this Weekend

We have some exciting news to share.  We, along with 20 other local artists, will be in a new Artisan Collective Market in Sorrento.  It is located in the building right next to the Lighthouse Market and will be opening this Saturday, May 13 with the grand opening the following May long weekend.

This is Debbie and Rose, the two artists that are responsible for bringing all of us together and making it happen.  They have both been working hard and everything is looking really awesome so far!

We have been busy preparing some new scarf jewelry designs along with other special items to sell there.  All of the artists take turns managing and running the shop and our first shift will be on the Sunday, May 21, of the grand opening.

The Shuswap Lake Culture Crawl is on the same weekend so stop in and see our new shop if you are in the area.

Behind the Scenes

I want to introduce you to Linda, a good friend of ours.  Her husband passed away not too long ago and we got to talking about how we could really use some help as we are always so busy and she was really wanting something to do to take her mind off things.  As it turns out, Linda is a fabulous helper and she loves working with the clay!  She has found (like me) that working with the clay can be therapeutic but of course, so is all the laughing that we do while we are together!

I started introducing her to the clay by teaching her how to condition it and then how to mix up my color recipes.  She loves mixing up all the clay colors so they are ready for me to use and that makes me happy as it can be quite time consuming, especially when we go through so much.

It is really great having her here and can't wait until she comes over again today and we can play some more!
