Happy New Year 2011

In case you are wondering what I've been up to for the last 4 weeks, well.... let's see : there was basically a lot of rushing - rushing to finish my classes and then, rushing to mark exams, rushing to buy Christmas presents, wrap Christmas presents, mail Christmas presents (to my family and friends in France.... of course, they all arrived AFTER Christmas, darn!), rushing to attend Christmas markets with my Olala jewelry, rushing to finish custom orders, pack orders, mail orders, all of these before December 23rd............... oh, and I forgot to mention my son's 6th birthday party!

So, right now, I'm enjoying a little break : )


As well as a box of Lego Star Wars, Santa brought a little kitten to my youngest son this year (the cat's name is JoJo... what else could you expect from a 6-year-old?... come one, at least it's not Buttcheek or Fartflake!!!) and here's what I was doing on the 1st day of January 2011 : building Darth Vador's space ship with JoJo taking a nap on the empty box!... Life is good!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU and try to take it easy : )

Fresh beginnings...

Happy New Year 2010 to all of you!!!

So, that's it, we're starting a new year... and a new decade! I hope this year (and the next ones) is going to be fun, exciting, rewarding, surprising, fulfilling and inspiring for all of us...

So far, I have been inspired a lot : I want to repaint my house, change some furniture, take a pottery class, register for yoga class, take a trip to Hawaii and ... make more jewelry! But to be honest, apart from a few pieces of jewelry, I don't think I'll do half of this, at least, not in January!

Here are a few of my "fresh" creations :

"Fleurs des bois", a necklace composed of bayong wood twisted beads, topaz Swarovski crystals and a bouquet of green and purple felt flowers.

"Papillons du jour", earrings with light amethyst Swarovski crystal butterflies, olivine green Swarovski crystals and copper chains.

Bracelet "Rendez-vous à Hyde Park" with tiger ebony wood squares, olivine Swarovski crystals and a lovely green and purple Liberty of London ribbon.
