What We've Been Up To

July was a busy month, we had our 'African Adornment' show on July 14th, it was great. A bunch of the gang from The Kroo Bay Initiative came, and we had so much fun. We sold a lot of great pieces and 20% of those sales goes to KBI. It was a ton of work and a bit hectic around here leading up to the event, but I am happy to report it went off without a hitch.

We greatly appreciate all the folks for coming out, especially the group from Denton, who drove in just for the show, on a Thursday night no less! Speaking of Denton, after the show ends here on August 14th, we plan on moving the show there; if there is anything left!

We also want to thank Indulge Magazine for featuring us in August's issue of 'Style Features.' Our African pieces made the editorial! Check out this month's issue, page 20, and take a look at our spot on the Indulge Website

Your chance to see the show for yourself will be gone soon, so swing on by the studio. We'd love to see you! For more information on the show and more photos visit our WEBSITE

African Adornment

Hello out there!

Our 'African Adornment' show, benefiting the Kroo Bay Initiative, is finally upon us. The opening event is this Thursday: July 14th, 2011!

We've been working hard planning and making great jewelry pieces that will be available for purchase beginning July 14th through August 14th.

The show will feature primitive to sophisticated jewelry along with collector quality items available for purchase as well. The pieces are all hand made from authentic African beads, trinkets and metals; each piece is unique. Twenty percent of sales will go to the Kroo Bay Initiative.

The Kroo Bay Initiative is a student run, nonprofit organization that seeks to restore life for the community of Kroo Bay, Sierra Leone. They are partners with the YMCA and FAWE primary school in Kroo Bay. For more information about the Kroo Bay Initiative visit: Their Website

Here is just a peek at some of the pieces that will be available:
