Wow! I'm on a Roll!

Updated my website so that you can now directly link to my blog or to my Facebook page...be sure to check it out www.jewelrybylala.com .  I also added a few new pieces to my Etsy shop.  To view or purchase, simply go to my website and click on SHOP.  So far I have 12 pieces with many more to come.  Two new VIVACIOUS VERBS necklaces went into the shop with three more to go. I would post a picture, but then you wouldn't have to visit my site, would you ?! LOL!  They are the perfect gift for any woman in your life that you want to encourage.  I have chosen strong verbs to stamp on these pendants to encourage any woman who wears them to be bold in life.  We all need a little reminder sometime, don't we?

I'd love to here from my readers (and I know they are out there...I've seen the stats:-), so comment away! Don't be shy! Let me know where you are from, how you found my blog, what type of jewelry you like, or even what type of jewelry you might like to see from LaLa Designs.

Until next time...

Cheers,

Back in the Game!

Well, folks, I've got a few items up in my Etsy shop! To view my shop, visit www.jewelrybylala.com and click on the SHOP tab or visit www.jewelrybylala.etsy.com. I will put more items as the week progresses.  I'm hoping to one day be able to put up one item each day.  That's my ultimate goal!

Keep checking over the next few weeks to see what all is new.  Remember, it is never to early to start shopping for Christmas!

Change is Here!

Hello!  I promised that changes were coming to LaLa Designs, and here is one...restructuring of my website.   After much contemplation, I decided to sell only from Etsy as opposed to trying to keep both Etsy and a separate online shop open.  My website is now designed to tell you about LaLa Designs, give you examples of my work, to keep you abreast of my show schedule, and to link you to my Etsy shop.  Shopping is simple...just click the link at the top of the page that says SHOP.  It takes you directly to my Etsy store where you can shop to your heart's content! 

I will take photos this week and get items into my Etsy shop within the next few days.  I've had a few glitches arise, but have almost solved them all. 

I hope you will check out the website to see the changes and share with your friends.  Before you know it, Christmas will be here...it's never to early to start shopping!

Cheers,
LaLa

Big Metal...

...No, NOT 80's hair bands---Accessories for Fall 2012 and Winter 2013!!

I don't usually follow trends closely in my jewelry-making.  When I'm inspired, I create. I create what comes to me, not what I think will be trendy.  Sometimes the two meet...this is one of those times.

Out of curiosity,  I did a bit of searching on the net last night.  What I found made me happy because I learned that METAL is in...METAL is what I do.  I also love BIG jewelry--I always have...and BIG is now in!!  Not that I only create big jewelry; I do realize that many people aren't necessarily in to BIG, so I also do little and places in between.  That said, since I have ALWAYS loved BIG jewelry, and I LOVE working with metal,  finding out that BIG METAL jewelry made it's way down the runway made me smile!      
   

Check out one of my pieces (actually made BEFORE I saw the article)...

Then check out the following article...

You can also keep up with my latest pieces on my Facebook page (click the link below).  I'm currently working on a line that will be up on Etsy as soon as I can find my camera (it's been lost in the shuffle...sigh...). If you see something on FB that you like and want to buy before it's up on Etsy, message or email me to make arrangements.


Here's hoping you try some BIG METAL this Fall/Winter!!


 
Until Next Time,

Cheers,

Change is a comin'...

Change is coming to LaLa Designs.  

For my new line, I am going in a bit different direction than before. I am working on new designs using cold connections (tabs, prongs, rivets, staples, and other connections that do not need heat) because I am still not set up to solder.  Yes, still...but that is a completely different post:-/.   This is exciting for me, and I can't wait to introduce my new pieces to the public.  This jewelry has a somewhat different look than that of the past (with the exception of my fold formed pieces).  These pieces are inspired by vintage style, mixed media,found objects, re-purposed items, and even steampunk.  There is a world of possibilities and it is so much fun. As soon as I can find my camera, I will post some pictures.

Changes are also coming to my website.  They will roll out in the next few months.  I will also post items on Etsy once again.  Still hoping things will settle down a bit so I can accomplish all of this...stay tuned.

Cheers,

LaLa

Life Gets in the Way...

To quote Robert Burns, "The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley!"  I had great plans to keep up with my blog this summer, to finally get my studio completely arranged, and to work on some pieces for a couple of friends that are looong over-due.  However, that has not quite worked out.  Apparently the Lord had other plans--plans in the form of a premature nephew whom I've been going to see quite frequently the past three weeks and the death of my husband's grandmother.  Needless to say, blogging and jewelry making has taken a back seat to these happenings.  Thankfully, though, my nephew is progressing well, and I even had the privilege of holding him yesterday.  We also know that MeeMaw has met her Heavenly Father and been reunited with her long-missed husband, Papa.  Things should be getting back to normal most days of the week starting Sunday night...we shall see.

In the midst of the turmoil, there was a brief respite; I was able to teach the class on riveting to my jewelry guild that was scheduled for the end of June.  It was so much fun!  I cannot wait to be asked to teach another class!

Continue to watch my blog for announcements from LaLa Designs...changes are coming!

Cheers,

LaLa
