Etsy Front Page!




Thanks so much metalology for including my "Three" Bangles!

On a Ring Trip!






I have a major obsession with stone setting lately. I am still only making bezel set rings for myself right now (selfish selfish!!) and here are some of the fruits of my labor. There is nothing quite like a fantastic pointer finger ring :)

Elements!








I have opened a new shop on etsy, aptly called, mlcroots. This shop will feature handmade components that can be used by the artisan to create his or her own pieces. The elements are organic and timeless and form the "roots" of my work.

New Work






Ideas based on elemental themes help to form the first pieces for Fall.

Amazing Etsy Artists

Part of my obsession with ETSY revolves around the ability to find stunningly beautiful handmade design at your fingertips and being able get it in the blink of an eye. I can have clothing custom made to my specifications simply by asking.....unreal. I can have the most gorgeous pottery and bags straight from the designer's studio - wow. I can pay a graphic artist waaaay too little and get a truly inspired logo. I love ETSY.

I have bought several items from sandmaiden and have enjoyed the luxurious fit and feel and look. My loungewear is decidedly of the moment, sinfully comfortable and classic all at the same time.

I can't seem to go too long without a fix from treehouse28, with amazing creations that always fit perfectly (how does she do that?) and arrive on exactly the day she says they will.

nbcreative designed my logo and I love love love her style.

I am aching to pick up the new ultrasuede clutch from moop and since this is my birthday month, it will probably happen really soon (that's a justifiable excuse, right?)

I have the lotus pendant from Red Hot Pottery hanging ever so effortlessly in my home as well as a collection of Kim Westad porcelain pendants accenting some pictures in my living room. I want one of those nifty white vases.

I brighten up my white plates with wonderful batik printed napkins I found at margotbianca - and they only get better and softer with each washing.

All of these artists create truly special pieces, sans sweatshop labor - can't help but love that. I hope that you check them out. You will be glad you did.
