What?? There's more? & ETSY Store

Yes! I added 2 new items and I love these pieces. This is more of my style since I love different kinds of stones and chains. Combination of these makes really gorgeous pieces.

My Etsy store's first birthday was on Feb 2nd. That's where it all started. I started with some beads, crystals, pearls, different kinds of stones such as amethyst (I love the color purple) jade, and quartz, chains and lots of findings. And I love the store and will surely keep it!

These two bracelets below are my very first creations. They were sold out soon after they were released.

 My Love Note Bracelet, Sold out!

Nostalgia Bracelet, Sold out!

I decided that if I have new items, I don't want to wait until a season line comes out. However, there will still be Jewelry Lines for you guys to look forward to.

Thinking of a date to release this year's summer line.

Is everyone having a wonderful Valentine's weekend?

Allow me to Say Happy Valentines to all love birds and of course, all you single people out there! Enjoy!

These are a Few of my Favorite Things...

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things...

Favorite things! And this song is one of my childhood favorite songs! On this post, I will share with you my most heart things!

For readers at heart, NOOKcolor is the bomb! This thing will carry me to anywhere I've never been before! It just took me to Africa because I'm currently reading Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese. Not only that, it carries up to 6,000 books!  Nook and NookColors are available in all Barnes & Nobles bookstores.

I mentioned many times (on Twitter or Blogger) that my favorite beads to work on are turquoise beads! They are semi precious stones and always remind me of the ocean! Not to mention the red orange coral beads. Together or just by itself, they have natural luscious vibrant colors that makes any jewelry  magnificent! Already made a turquoise bracelet for the summer line. Corals are definitely a summer piece so watch out for them! Can't wait for you to see what these beads are going to become soon!

Spring Line has Finally Arrived!

I'm happy to announce that the spring line is finally here! After a long wait, you can now enjoy and shop for new jewelry from The PurpleShmurple Shoppe! I had so much fun making and brainstorming new ideas that has finally put into jewelry. In this line, I really enjoyed working with the leather suede and the Dream Catcher Classic. There are so many ways to make a dream catcher and I will continue to create new ones using different mediums/materials. 


My Spring theme is basic: different color birds, flowers, cats, text messages, navajo inspired jewelry, and spring relevant items like the rain, nest egg, some Chinese inspired items for Chinese New Year, and some valentine themes, after all, it's February! 


I hope you enjoy these new items as much as I do! So shop now and get your first spring jewelry from The PurpleShmurple Shoppe!

Shop now! http://thepurpleshmurpleshoppe.com/category/spring-line

Have a wonderful weekend!

2 days til Spring Line

Feb 5th, 12 MN EST. Be there for the Spring Line Collection! Lots of brand new items and amazing designs waiting for you! Just played around with my computer to get a sketch of the new Dream Catcher necklace that's coming out. 

I'm a little bit addicted to making them right now so expect different designs from different materials in the summer time. 

found this pic on the net and don't know who's it from.

I love this picture! 

it was very well composed!

Already started on the summer line. I have a lot of overflow items and it was easy for me to think of ideas because I'm a very tropical person (: and I can't wait til summer! I'd rather be hot than cold!

Speaking of Summer, I am a proud stepmom of a seventeen year old girl who owns the Company Jawbreaking Jewelry! She's accepted to be a vendor for the Warped Tour this year so Check her store out and buy something! Help her get to the Warped Tour!! she has amazing stuff as well!
