RE-THINK.  RE-USE.  RE-INVENT

Jen Roder has worked over the past seven years as a professional carpenter and woodworker.  In both her jewllery and working projects,  Jen's interest in re-usable objects has been a re-occurring theme.  Her current use of bottle caps in jewellery was inspired by her interest of common symbols that have been injected into the mainstream advertising.  She found that by removing the symbol from the  context of an every day bottle cap,  the meaning is then transformed into a personal icon to be celebrated by the individual.

                

****MINNA AAPARYTI*****

Cherish your most treasured memories – place them in handmade books and albums made with loving attention to every little detail.

Hand-bound books are a part of our history. Expanding on this thousand year old tradition Minna creates unique pieces that will inspire and delight you for years to come.

      Thinking Spring even though there is loads of snow coming down.   Think Spring!!   It will be here sooner than you know it.  Of course for some,  like me,  not soon enough.    The pretty coloured pendants are frosted acryllic with various images.  I love the chandelleir,  something a little out of the ordinary.    The copper piece is hand cut from sheet metal and then stamped.  I then gave it an old world look by adding patina to the finish.  All of these pendants hang from leather cords.  Will be finishing more so be sure to check back.
Also,  if the weather breaks and lets everyone get out of the house,   Wydinya will be showing her work at Fringe Hair Salon,  this weekend.  feb,13th.   So if you are in the neighbourhood please be sure to stop by.  There will be light bites and wine.  It is free to the public.   Trish Seimbora, Caterpillar Fur will also be showing her art work and selling her fabulous t-shirts.  Will post the flyer up with all the details.

Here are a few Pictures I took yesterday.&nbsp; Will put in store this weekend. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This ring reminds me of a lovely gentleman I met one Summer in Cape May while he was vacationing.&nbsp; And then again he found me at the Kimmel center in Philadelphia.&nbsp; He liked the ring so much that when he saw me he was happy that he found me and bought yet another one.&nbsp; So,&nbsp; in honour of Shakespeare,&nbsp; yes, Shakespeare,&nbsp; I am calling this line,&nbsp; &quot;Shakespeare&quot;.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Well,&nbsp; heading over to Cape May now.&nbsp; Stay safe, stay warm.&nbsp; See you when the snow melts. Cheers Wydinya Okay,   this winter is a doozy.  Are we ready for yet another snow storm.  By the sounds of it,  this will be the second biggest snow storm I have experienced in my time here in the States.   And it will be my sons second biggest also. 

Wow.  I thought we were in the home stretch.  I have my Spring colours in the store.  New facelift.  New colours.  New pieces.  I am so excited about the new look and can't wait to see the other stores who did the same this week.  Heading over there now before the bulk of the snow hits.  Does anyone know what time that is anyway.  I keep hearing different times.

Here are a few Pictures I took yesterday.  Will put in store this weekend.

                          

                               This ring reminds me of a lovely gentleman I met one Summer in Cape May while he was vacationing.  And then again he found me at the Kimmel center in Philadelphia.  He liked the ring so much that when he saw me he was happy that he found me and bought yet another one.  So,  in honour of Shakespeare,  yes, Shakespeare,  I am calling this line,  "Shakespeare".       

Well,  heading over to Cape May now.  Stay safe, stay warm. 

See you when the snow melts.

Cheers
