it's Friiiiiiday!

...and although working for self means no days off,
there is still a certain energy and excitement that comes along with Friday :)

i'm gonna try to sneak off to the beach on Sunday to get some work done.
we've had highs in the 70's for the last 2 weeks!
it makes all the traffic n shit worth it :)




shoutout to newly natural Kim Coles for coppin' a Lykke Comb from me earlier this week.
i can't wait to see her in it! she's also copped some earrings from Rachel Stewart, too :)

she found us BOTH through Afrobella. the natural hair community is so blessed to have such dedicated bloggers !


i've been busy all week filling orders, making improvements to PeaceImages
and working on new items.

i can tell 2011 is gonna be a big year, and I wanna make sure I move forward on a strong base!



14kt, handwrapped -- charms include butterflies and a big brass Africa!



shoutout to Corrine in France rockin' the "single point studs."
(i'm sending out free jewelry cleaning cloths with all brass orders now -- gotta keep those Africas shining!)



Syd sent me the dopest appreciation photo ever in her wooden "Vision" studs
and bone (cow) armor ring!

my "Accra" studs are ashanti shield pendants that I converted into earrings.

tiny brass Africa stud earrings.



and anyone who knows me knows I am a big fan of updating old styles.
this is a newer version of my "cleopatra hand chains." i updated the wrapping technique, wire and chain.
it can be a great way to see how far you've come in learning your craft!



this is me modeling my new charm earring. sold as a single -- it looks hella cute with my new fedoras.
tho it's been warm as hell during the day, I can' t wait for summertime for the warm nights and mild mornings :)
