full moon energies and blog posts.

...the full moon last night was incredible.

full moon's can create intense waves of emotion in some of us. if things get too crazy, try to quiet your thoughts, and listen to your inside voice. it's guiding you all the time. the summer solstice is upon us, and the full moon is just prepping us to ride all of that glorious energy!



this is the view from our bedroom window w/ the moon shinin' brightly over DTLA (downtown la)


Petit Modele is an incredible artist and incorporated our "Get Down On It" triangles into her latest piece!



so f*ckin dope. i need this on my daughter wall ....when I have one.



the fly ladies over at Pink Grasshopper stopped by our table at Thread, and we shared some great energy. they gave me a shoutout on their blog, so check it (and them) out!
thanks to gorgeous Mimi and Saba!




The THREADshow love continues with Lilliam highlighting our pieces over at Mondette in an amazing write up!




Travis over at BloggingLA loved our cuffs and individuality in a sea of feathers and chunky necklaces at this seasons THREAD.

Never before have I felt that my individual style was so valued than at this year's show. From my pieces to my setup. Sometimes that validation is such a nice treat, right?!




and the UBER fashionable folks at Snakes Nest spent MUCH time at the table. while I was oogling their keen fashion sense, they were doing the same to my accessories! it was great and I hope to run into them several more times over next year.

aren't they cute?





Carlina always holds us down with the most heartfelt write-ups. Her post on the The Find was no different.
We'll be giving an agate ring away via Allergic to Vanilla in the near future -- I'll keep you posted via this blog!

I appreciate all of you SO much!

in the groove.

...ass bustin. a lot of it.
I worked hard to make THREADshow all that it could be.
14 hours days to build up inventory,
working harder than I ever have. Ever.
It's a great feeling.



**love to Mr. DJ for taking the photos and offering so much of his precious time to make this happen.



you ever work so late into the night, you feel yourself get dizzy?
you feel confusion start to set in.
you forget things.

yea.



...it paid off.



because my table stayed busy !

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, said hi, made a purchase, grabbed a biz card, or flyer, offered encouraging words, reinforcement, support and love.

You never know who is standing at your table. I greet everyone with a smile to let them know how happy I am that they stopped by.

next up? THREADshow SF in the Fall.

omg.

the gold keys have made their way onto Dutch tv! Laise of Adlicious decided to rock a pair on the finale of the X Factor!! much love to Gwen over at Choco Loves for carrying my line in her boutique in Amsterdam! Check fly Laise out at the 1:50 mark in her keys!




and Kim Coles copped a purple agate ring a few months ago, and sent me a photo! She is glowing and we love this photo!

*shoutout to Felicia Leatherwood on the hairstyle



Carlina over at "Allergic..." showed us much love. Look out for more collabs between us soon :)


these sold so quickly at the show, I decided to make another pair. these will be in the boutique shortly and they are 1 of a kind.



my vision studs are available in gold now. not sure why I didn't do this sooner ...




i jazzed up these lightweight 3" brass arrows by wrapping them with wire near the head, and adding a stud to the back!

these were a THREADshow favorite, and I came home with only 1 pair left.




not much to say about this awesome brass piece.

find it in the boutique today as well!



next day off? Saturday.
