Well, I have finally recovered...still a little congested...but much better than I was before. Thank you so much for all of the well wishes. They helped get me through ;)
I was thrilled to be able to reopen the shop and get most of what I had hoped to accomplished. You will notice a fresh look {again}...perhaps I am addicted to change? I just cannot help myself...just like my home...I always have to "spice" things up a bit..
There is also a new layout. I hope that you find it easy to navigate. One of the struggles I have with my web host, is that I do not love 100% any of the layout options they offer for navigating - which is another reason that I am always changing things...trying to find the best one to help customers move around easily. I know that this new one is not perfect...but for now it works. The shop categories are now at the top and page links on the bottom. I also made all of the product thumbnails larger, which I hope you enjoy and that it makes for easier viewing.
I was delighted to have some of you stop by on opening day and take some things home with you already! For the rest of you, who haven't had a chance to head over, I thought I would share some of the new things that you will find. Today, I thought I would share some of the jewelry that I have worked on for the past several months that you can now find in our The Adorned Life collection under Bijoux...many of these pieces are created with vintage components and all have an air of vintage romance...
Vintage Romance Collection
Liaison in Lace...{Sold}
Quite Contrary...{Sold}
Ivory Fleur... {one of these is already heading to this sweet lady}
Morning Dew...{Sold, but we will restock soon}
Religious Relics Collections
My personal favorite of all of my recent pieces is this charm bracelet...filled with my absolute favorite vintage finds that I have saved for years for something special. {Many more Religious Relic pieces to come soon}
Lady of Fatima...{Sold}
There are two other Collections in our Bijoux category including our Eclectic Jardin and Remnants of Time {featuring Joshua's pieces}...I will share more from these later once I get more of the new pieces listed...
There are many more new items in the shop {over 50 have already been listed...and we aren't done yet!}...so I hope you will stop by and look around...
Every order placed, this month and next, receives a gift certificate for 25% off through the end of the year...perfect for holiday shopping!
Hope to have you stop by soon...
Till next time...
Oooh Alice, I was just checking my blog and getting ready to head to bed when I saw you had a new post... now I am staying awake longer and looking at your shop again! I am soo excited for my things... thank you for mentioning me (by my ring) in your post... you are so sweet! All of the jewelry is sooo beautiful... Love to you and Josh, doggie kisses, as always Renoir!... Julie Marie

Thanks Julie! I hoped you wouldn't mind if I mentioned you there ;) I was
just so thrilled that some of my things were going to reside with you
again...it really makes my day when I get to send things off to a dear
friend and know they will be well loved!
Hope you have a wonderful night!

Dear sweet Alice,
I am so happy to hear you are feeling a bit better and that you were able to reopen your shop. I will have to visit, as I know it is beautiful... everything you do is!
I love all of the jewelry you made. It is so gorgeous and simply amazing!!!! You are very talented dear friend. I love that you use so many vintage finds in your work. Not only is your jewelry so unique, but they look like antiques! Your photos are so beautiful and I love that you used your lovely vintage dress form to display your jewelry.
