About Us
Summer! At long last... For many professional craftspeople, this means the carny life starts up again, traveling to art fairs across the country. Sometimes our clients comment on how relaxing it must be to vacation and play store at the same time. I have to confess, it's usually more like a triathlon of back breaking manual labor, intense social interaction (sales), oh and you have to look good, too. But, this last trip was a bit different. Between two weekend shows in California, we pitched our tent in some of the most gorgeous coastal terrain I've ever seen. Yes, we live in Idaho, but we do get out. So, a 2500 mile business trip turned into something memorable and fun. So, it's a balance thing?
Back home to the studio, where the mission is to create enough new goodies for the next few shows. No big drives again until September, luckily. Our local Ketchum show, which actually takes place in Sun Valley, is hands down the best, with many of our favorite customers coming in from the East coast for that week in July.
On the bench right now: a new assymetrical cuff, marine themed, etched with shells, seaweed and about to sport some big Tahitian pearls and maybe some diamonds. Also, new convertible earrings, using bigger gems. Etched modular pendants, that can be taken apart and worn separately. New rings featuring 18k "bridges". And maybe I'll bake some bread (that's a joke)...
Hope to see you this summer!
Michele and Terrance
