A walk through the fashion distric of the internet part 1

Spring is coming, Spring is coming! Even if it is 3c today, Spring is coming!

I'm in need of clothes. I have been in maternity and in between clothes for 3 years now, it's time for real grown up clothes.

So a took a cup of coffee, fired up my laptop, got on the net and went to Elle.com for some news on what will be trendy for this spring.

Oh crap! The 80s are still here, maybe I should go back and get pregnant again?

Luckily for me, I have never been a big follower of trends. But I think that with a little imagination I can come up with something.
Yes I'm looking for grown up clothes, I just turn 30 and I look like I'm 15 when I wear only a pair of jean and a simple t-shirt. One of my hubby's coworker asked him how old was is teenager (referring to me) after seeing his coffee mug with a photo of my 2 kids and myself on it.

So I'm on a mission to find clothes that will make me look grown up.

Oh crap ! Most of all of the dresses I'm seeing are design to make a woman look like she is 18 again. Good, now I'll look even younger.

Just stop looking at the clothes and look at the jewelry. You make jewelry anyway and it's good to know what is IN and what is OUT.

According to Elle.com, charm bracelets are still IN, they did get a little face lift with the help of bigger and bolder charms. Hum that's good!

The big hoop earrings are still IN, I haven't worn earrings in 3 years! Little kids and earrings are not good friends.

Metallic colors are IN and it seems that big an bold in IN too.

I'm leaving Elle.com, I need real fashion that real woman can wear to go to the grocery store.

Not your Grany's pearl necklace

Pearls and lot's of it!

It's a twist with wire on a old classic.
I saved an focal piece from a broken necklace to give this necklace some flare.
Come check it out at the shop HERE

Egypthian midnight ...


I had this brass stamping for almost a year and I didn't know what to do with it, until a few days ago. I was looking at one of my ancient Egypt coffee table books and tada!
This idea came to me.

I have to admit I wanted to keep it for myself , but I will gladly part with it if it goes to a good home.

Changes...I hope this is the last one

Changes, they say they are necessary... but boy do they have to be this hard?

I had to change not only website, not only domain name but also hosting company .
I'm now with Yahoo web hosting and I hope I will remain with them for a long time.

So if you type www.thejewelsshop.com you will be redirected to the new website: www.jewelsinwire.com


And I'm off for some much needed rest.

Jewelry tutorials and a new website has been my projects for this week.

I'm venturing off into the world of jewelry tutorials. All of this because of a friend who is starting to make her own jewelry. She was looking for online jewelry tutorials,but could not find one that she liked.

So after a night of Dungeons and Dragons (yes that's what I do when I'm not beading), I decided to try and make a tutorial.

So introducing....

My fruity earrings tutorial.

All of my tutorial can be found at my new website: www.thejewelssop.com
