Springtime in the studio.

"A blue-bell springs upon the ledge,
A lark sits singing in the hedge;
Sweet perfumes scent the balmy air,
And life is brimming everywhere."
-Spring Observations, Mark R Slaughter

We've expanded into a second Etsy store!

 

Mae Day Designs
http://www.etsy.com/shop/maedaydesign    

Why "Mae Day"? Mae is the middle name of Teresa's mother and daughter, and May first is her birth day. 

----------------------------------------------------------

Both of the Etsy stores are featuring new lines and designs, with more in the process of being created.

The Mae Day shop carries the new line of “Orchid” jewelry, featuring many different colors and shapes, with gemstones and rings and all sorts of things.

We've got many more designs in the making, 

be sure to check back now and then to see our story unfold.

There are blue-haired superheroes hanging from my ceiling.

The studio got a touch of decoration this week- a set of cute comic-book ornaments from Bookity (initially intended for Christmas ornaments), along with a few other cute knick-knacks, are adorning the walls and ceiling. Including- as you may now realize- blue haired superheroes.

Bookity also has some other things that would look fantastic hanging from the studio ceiling... Hint hint.

Of course, a lot more than decorating has gone on recently.

Tick tock~

You'll find a few bits of clockwork nestled among the other items in the shop now.

New pictures!

A few older items have been re-photographed and updated to fit the new year.

Amarante

Anatomical Hearts

Roulette Grande

Displays

Lots, and lots, and lots of displays. We have some lovely new industrial-looking displays made by the fantastic Carla Grahn that you'll see at our future booths in our upcoming venues and in some of the stores that carry our items.

Here are a few pictures of the metal beauties-




Inspired by her fantastic work on our displays, we're coming out with a line of hand-made displays to house earrings and the like. Our first two designs (pictured below) are already available here, on etsy:

We're expanding into all of the hemispheres!

Our first wholesale order to Australia just shipped out, so if you're near Williamstown, Victoria, stop by Safade and you might just see our items dangling from a display.

We also have a new friend in the Studio~

This dainty little torso was found off of Craigslist, but still remains nameless. If you have any suggestions on what to name her, leave them in the comments!

Stampy stamp stamp...

We also got some new stamps from TTYR , which you'll see printed on our new recyclable packaging for future orders. We need more reasons to stamp things so we can order more, their work is fantastic.

And that's it for this week. There's a bunch more planned, so check back soon!
