Calling All Indie Designers, It’s Holiday Gift Guide Time

West

Yes, it’s true, the Holidays are coming.  Whether you celebrate Christmas,  Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and/or Festivus I hope you don’t get too stressed out this season.  I actually read somewhere that the Holiday Season is the most stressful time of year!  Really? If you are anything like me I try to avoid going into the stores during this time of year as much as possible, and take full advantage of online shopping.

This year I’m doing something a little new, I will be creating a gift guide to shine the focus on creative indie designers who have really cool products that would make great gifts for your family and friends.  So if you are an indie or handmade designer and want me to feature you in my gift guide please email thepinklocket@yahoo.com for more information.  If you know of someone who maybe be interested, just share this post with them.

P.S. To help you kick off your holiday shopping I’ve included a link to some of my “Great Gift Ideas Under $50” just click on the above image!

It’s shopping time!  Today’s the official launch of The Arches Handmade Jewelry Collection, so mosey on over to my shop and shop till you drop.  This is a mini collection so the quantities are limited.  Happy Shopping.

The Arches Jewelry Collection Coming Soon

Mark your calendars.  Actually  you won’t need to mark your calendars, if you are already on my list you get to shop my NEW collection first.   Now since this is a mini-collection I’ve only created a few of each piece, but if you have subscribed to my list you will have the opportunity to get your hands on it first before I open it up to the general public.  Sweet right?  Just be sure to check your email first thing Monday, September 21st.  Not on my list? Join it 

Over the weekend I had a blast at a photo shoot for the collection with the talented Christina Simkovich, who did her thing modeling my creations, along with photographer Okieto Campbell (yes, being married to a photography has its benefits).  Here’s a sneak peek at a couple of shots that I snagged with my iPhone.
