Home Art Studio , Mid Summer Line Updates and Brownies (:

Just got done with my Summer Project I promised myself to do and it's not officially summer yet! I'm completely satisfied with it, just the way I pictured it to be. And the best part, there's more room for expansion (space not shown). Here are some pictures! Enjoy!


a friend drew this picture for me when I used to 
play the guitar years ago!



This was given to my by my step dad when I was 17 years old!
Very inspirational about following your dreams
and not to ever give up!

For the next line coming up, I'm wearing a few of the new bangles right now and I AM LOVING THESE! I wish I could show them to you right now but that'll kill the excitement (: I already got a few orders from work and I can't wait to release these soon! Any suggestions for the next line? Email me at thepurpleshmurpleshoppe@ymail.com

Today, I baked brownies for the family. 

I call this Rocky Road Brownies!

Until Next!

My Love for Steven Tyler

Dream On Dream On Dream On 
Dream until your dreams come true 

Wow! This song was launched in 1973, way before most of my blog readers where born including me! I so love this song for its meaning and melody and lately, I've been listening to it. This song is so timeless and is in my most Favorite Rock n' Roll list. That being said, the lead singer of Aerosmith, Steven Tyler, well... what is there not to like about him? Besides his feather hair extensions and his sense of fashion, his husky voice never cease to amaze me! I grew up listening to Aerosmith because my brother played their songs/album almost everyday back in the 90's.
I love his fashion style and choice of jewelry which lead me to think that maybe one day, I'll do a Steven Tyler inspired line (:
so DREAM ON!

Studio Progress, Brooklyn Bridge, Water Street, Mid Summer Line

Hey guys! Hope you're all doing well... I'm pretty psyched using this slideshow on my blog, that means, more pictures and less space! I finished painting my home art studio and already started assembling my organizers. This weekend will be my table and some decorations, then, I'm pretty much set! Hope you enjoy these pictures!



Brooklyn Bridge
Today was a sunny, hot and humid day... perfect for a relaxing walk from NYC to Brooklyn via the Brooklyn Bridge! The fresh breeze coming from the river side cooled us down quite a bit and helped us make it to our destination, Jacques Torres Chocolate on Water Street. It's about less than an hour walk including our stops for picture taking.


Water Street
This is located between the Manhattan Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge. There's a few shopping areas close to the Brooklyn Bridge Park and of course, Jacques Torres-my most favorite chocolate place! I love chocolates and I don't know what I'd do without it!  We've been going here for years and their Hot Chocolate and Frozen hot chocolate never fails me! We shall be back again!


Mid-Summer Line
There will be a few items coming up in July. In this collection, you'll see The PurpleShmurple Shoppe's first bangle collection! I'm very excited about this because I love bangles and enjoy designing them, and to finally put them up in the store for summer excites me even more!
Also, a new DreamCatcher Necklace is coming out so watch out for it!

Until the next blog!

Home Art Studio, Dominique and Custom Jewelry

Home Art Studio
Hey guys! It's been awhile since my last blog, just busy busy busy! Earlier this year, I have mentioned that my summer project will be a home art studio. It's in the works right now and my mind is busy designing on how it would look like. Yesterday, I went to IKEA and Lowe's to buy storage organizers, a new table, some desk organizers and of course, paint! The colors of my walls will be yellow and orange for warm and happy working place. I cannot wait for the finish product but most of all, excited working on it!





Dominique
I love inspiring other people creating their own jewelry! Last week, I had an opportunity to teach Dominique who showed a strong interest in claying. She asked me if I would teach her and said... "of course" (: By the end of our claying session, she was happy and said that she had a blast! I look forward to her very own jewelry line one day. I like to share my talents in anyway I can.


Custom Jewelry
I have gotten many requests of custom jewelry. If you'd like me to make you your very own personal jewelry, send me an email to thepurpleshmurpleshoppe@ymail.com I can pretty much make anything you have in mind. Below is a special custom jewelry made especially for Mother's Day...

Karen wearing her bracelet and Kai..
He's sooooo cute!

There will be no Twitter contest this month, but there will be one in June!

Until next time....stay tuned for the development of my home studio... I will post pictures here and there (:

This Dreamcatcher necklace is not available in the store yet.  This piece is more of the traditional web design. I made the web like forming "petals" of a flower. I will post a comment on FB or Twitter, or even a blog when it comes up in the store.
