Holiday Sale Preview

It is that time of year again! Time to get ready for Christmas. I am again doing my annual Holiday Studio Sale on Nov 13 and 14th and I thought it would be fun to post a few of my recent creations. I love this sale because I can make a lot of different things and it does not matter if it is one of kind. This is the time that I often make pieces from random pendants and stones that I have picked up from all over the place. It is fun. This is also the time I think of fall and winter styles, higher neckline or sweaters where we could wear bulkier pieces. My sale is fun, with other hand made non jewelry items available, yummy food and I think this year we will even have a friend of my who is a massage therapist be available for free chair massages! The best shopping experience. Plus I always have great sales to allow you to buy your gifts and get something for yourself. If you live in the Vancouver/Portland area and would like an invite please contact me directly at kd-designs@live.com.

If you cannot make it to the show and would like to order on-line, it is easy. Just email me at kd-designs@live.com and let me know what you are interested in. I have a pay pal account that makes it simple for credit or debit card transactions and I usually mail out within a day or 2.

Enjoy the preview....


Taupe Floating Pearl $20 (earrings not shown $5)
I love this style right now and have several similar pieces. I use copper wire and in this piece the freshwater pearls have an iridescent taupe, brown, olive and copper hue. It really goes with anything and it is so light you barely feel you are wearing anything. The length hits right at your collar bone and looks great with a t-shirt or a collared blouse.



Peacock Floating Pearl $2o
Again on copper wire, but this time with peacock pearls, which have blues, purples, greys and greens all mixed in. It looks great with black or blues or purples in your wardrobe.


Bracelets. (Left- Square Mother of Pearl- $8) (Right- Bone Star- $8)

Patina and Silver $25 (earrings not shown $5)
I love these blue/green/copper beads and in this piece I combined them with silver and pale green blue glass beads. It is a pretty combination with a silver disc pendant.


Pale Blue Floating Pearl $20 (earrings not shown $5)
This floating necklace uses silver wire and pretty grey and pale blue freshwater pearls, it is light and so pretty.


Black Floating Sparkle $20 (earrings not shown $5)
I love this piece as we always need something simple to go with the pretty black and white that we wear around the holidays. This is simple with just the perfect amount of sparkle.


More Bracelets ( Left to Right) Green Speckle $8, Mahogany $6, Rust Speckle $8.


Triple Sunset $25 (earrings not shown $5)
This is one of my favorites for the season. Each one is different but they include a mixture of stone, metal, glass and seed beads in red, brown, orange, gold and copper. It looks great with all the fall colors in your wardrobe.

Green Rounds $25
This a fun piece with these unique green stone beads mixed with glass and sparkle and bronze.

Sea foam Chain $25
I found this cool amanozite pendant at the beach and I love how this piece turned out. It is longer that most but is still delicate and pretty.


Patina and Copper $25 (earrings not shown $5)
Similar to the patina and silver but this is done with copper and little copper flowers. It is so pretty and looks great with brown and the pale blue that looks so nice together.

Well there is your preview... there is much more to come. Hope to see you at the Studio Sale!
