Treats For You!!

Happy Halloween Weekend To You All!

Halloween is by far my favorite holiday - all the autumn colors, the wonderful smells and fun Fall Decorations and the air becoming cooler (well, not quite yet here in AZ - but I'm ready for it!!)  And, I'm ready to watch my favorite Halloween movies such as Halloween, Halloween H2O and Hocus Pocus with my hubby and son this weekend!  Popcorn and blankets and candles,.......what fun!!

Halloween always  puts me in the "Fall" mood and I love giving out candy, but since I can't do that here on my blog, I'm going to give away some great savings at my MiShel Designs Etsy Store this weekend!!

Woo Hoo!!

All of my beloved blog followers (yes, you!!), will receive a 10% discount off your total order (not including tax or shipping) from today, October 29th through Monday, November 1st! And, if you have friends you want to pass on these savings to, just have them start following my MiShel Designs blog and then they can get this same fantastic offer!

Here's how you can get your savings and treat yourself to some great goodies this weekend:

All you have to do is convo me when you order on my Etsy site with the code "Halloween" and I will then go back and refund your discount amount in Pay Pal - it's that easy!! And, it's better than candy cause it won't rot your teeth or make you have to work out any harder next week. 

So, click here to treat yourself to some great ear, arm or neck candy this weekend - guilt free!

Until Next Time,

Peace, Love and Happy Halloween!

Bringing Awareness - Stop the Bullying and Judging!

I was contacted by a fellow Etsy Shop Owner today - Christine by Hand - and was told one of my jewelry items - my Faceted Purple Amethyst Earrings - had been featured in her Etsy Treasury today.  

She found out that someone on Facebook had designated today as "Wear Purple Day" in order "to bring awareness to, and put an end to intolerance in honor of the 6 people who commited suicide in recent weeks/months due to homophobic abuse at home and in schools" and she created an Etsy Treasury to help bring awareness to this crisis. She's also posted this to her blog and you can read about it here!

I was very honored to be included in her Etsy Treasury (lots of great iems - check out all the shops please!) but most of all I was touched by the reason she put the Etsy Treasury together and feel that this is such a great way to honor those who's lives weren't lived to their fullest.

I believe by bringing awareness to why bullying and judging others is such an unhealthy way of acting, thinking and living, that it will help us all to learn how to practice tollerance and help us focus on making ourselves better people.  We need to STOP the bullying and bring awareness of how crippling these type of actions and thinking are to our society (and our world). 

Thanks Christine for reminding us to be aware, to practice tollerance and to "Love One Another".

Until Next Time,

Peace, Love and Acceptance!!

Rock Those Crystals And Pearls!!

With the holidays around the corner and all things coming up "Pearly and Sparkling", we thought we'd show you some more earirngs from another Etsy shop who has been using my "Shel's Jewelry Supplies" earring wires.

A. Minton Jewelry is very classy indeed! They've got gorgeous crystal and Pearl earrings that would be perfect for all holiday occassions,...especially holiday wedddings (in my opinion, anyway!).

Also, the wire work on these earrings is so sweet - definitely not your average, run of the mill earrings!!

Add a some "Sparkle" to your fall and winter wardrobe, and of couse, some Pearls, too, and grab a pair of these great earrings at A. Minton Jewel - they're sure to please and they might even cause a little "Sparkle Envy"!!

Until Next Time,

Peace, Love, and Beautiful Designs!

Good Things!!

Just wanted to post a wonderful Etsy Treasury that I was included in this week.

Kristin, (aka - LoveArtWorks) has included my Silver Petal Pearl Swirl post earrings in her treasury along with several other Etsy Project Embrace Team member shops and their lovely items.

I encourage you to check out all the lovely shops in this treasury.  Some of the shops even have sections, like mine does, where you can purchase certain items marked "TEAMEPE" and a portion of the proceeds goes to help with a cancer charity - so it's shopping for a cause and it feels great!!

Have a Great Sunday and Until Next Time,

Peace, Love and All Things Good!!

Cheers,

Green with Envy!

Ooohhhh,...I'm loving these gorgeous Green, Vintage Inspired, Lucite earrings from LilyLeighs!!  They're oh so HOT - don't you think?!! 

They were created using earring wires from my Shel's Jewelry Supplies shop on Etsy!  (Thank You Karter!!)

These fab earrings are perfect for all the great fall styles out right now.  We can definitely see these lucsious green beauties paired with a striking camel colored coat, cream scarf and lace-up boots (for that super Army look everyone's tapping into) providing you with a very polished, vintage inspired and romantically bold fall and winter staple in your wardrobe! 

They have also been featured in this Etsy Treasury - Go Check It Out!!

Until Next Time,

Peace, Love and I'm Green with Envy!!

Falling for New Earrings

 

  

While I'm waiting on more of my "Shel's Jewelry Supplies" clients to send in pics of their earrings designs created with my handcrafted earring wires, I thought I would post a few pics of some of the fall earring designs I've created and recented posted on my MiShel Designs website and Etsy Shop.

                 

I'm really interested to know what types of jewelry you're looking to add to your Fall wardrobe. What latest styles or classic designs are you working into your Fall Fashion Statement this season? 

Post your comments here on my blog or on the MiShel Designs Facebook Fan page and let's see what great Fall Fashion Style everyone has!

Until Next Time,

Peace, Love and Great Fall Jewelry Fashion!

More Designers Using My Earring Wires - Woo Hoo!

I've asked some of my customers to send me pics of the designs they create using my earring wires that they've ordered from my Etsy Shop - Shel's Jewelry Supplies - and I've gotten some great submissions!

Today I'd like to feature Teresa Original Designs from Etsy. Her designs are very nice and I like her Bridial Designs best as they range from soft and romantic to elgantly bold and stylish - way cool if you ask me!!

Here's just a couple that are on her site now. I imagine a bride wearing these with a low cut, scoop neck dress with little crystals around the necklice and shoulders - scrumptious, don't you agree?

With all the Fall and Winter weddings around the corner and of course, the winter gift giving season that's almost upon us, there's lots of Etsy shops for you to browse through and I'm sure you'll find many treasures that fit your style to a "T"! 

Until Next Time,

Peace, Love and Gorgeous Earrings Baby!!

Cheers,

Sharing With Others,....

I just wanted to pass on this great blog, Making Stuff is Fun!! 

The Blog belongs to a customer of mine and she purchased some of my earring wires from my Shel's Jewelry Shop on Etsy and posted a few pics of the earrings she designed using them. 

These are her beautiful green earrings above!  Love 'em, don't you?!! She also has a "pretty in purple" pair as well!

Go check out the blog and her Etsy shop, Jellisen Designs - it's pretty coolio, I'm telling you!

And, stay tuned, as quite a few of my clients have promised to send in pics of their designs with supplies they've purchased from my little Etsy shop!

Until Next Time,

Peace, Love and Happy Creating!!

Cheers,

Fall Jewelry Is Fun!

I love Autumn! I have fond memories of the Fall,...leaves falling, hay rides, brisk morning walks to school, (I lived in Illinois then!) football games, the annual fall festival in my little home town and the excitement that built up as I waited for Halloween to arrive was almost as magical as Christmas time. 

I think these are some of the reasons I love creating Fall jewelry so much.  It's always fun for me to create jewelry that can be worn with this season's styles.  All around me there are signs of Autumn, too - setting up the inspiration for fun creations! 

There's tons of Halloween decorations up in every store you can imagine already (those were up before Labor Day actually!) and everyone's got their shop displays decorated with colorful leaves, apples and acorns and commercials show fall scenes of kids jumping in piles of raked up leaves.  All the candles out now are smelling of mulled cider, spicy cinnamon and apples, and woodsy sents fill the air when you walk into any establishment.  All this truly sets the mood for Fall despite the high temperatures that are still looming here in central AZ right now (highs of 107 this week with nightly low's dipping to about 79!).

So, here's a taste of some fall jewelry I designed that was inspired by the season upon us and all the wonderful and delightful treats that it holds!!

This is my Autumn Goddess Necklace and Earrings Set - lovely isn't she? I think so!

And, yes, she's already spoken for. A friend kept coming to mind while creating this and I've already set it aside for her - she gets to see it in person on Monday!!

Okay - quit drooling!!

Until Next Time,

Peace, Love and Happy Autumn!!
