From Dallas With Love!

I'm currently in California working my tail off sourcing, connecting, and absorbing!!!! This morning I woke up to this nice article from DFW Style Daily about my artwork, jewelry and FRINGE........ Thanks so much for the wonderful LOVE

Lovely Royal Hippie Cuffs, Leather Pendants, and Pouches!

We're Heading to L.A.

Spring Is in the Air

With the change of the weather comes new life. The Gruene Trading company (Formerly Kitchy Chics) launched my new lines with the opening of the New Locale next to The Gruene Hall. If you haven't been there---- GO CHECK IT OUT!!!!! --all I can say is AMAZING!

We revamped Max's Haus as well, and The Darenbak line is a sure fit! I'm so happy with the way things fit so well like a Cinderella slipper.

The 3rd place in New Braunfels that I will be working on and with is 764 West Gallery. I will have a line of Hand painted jewelry that is taking a little more time than I wanted..... but it has to be JUST RIGHT!!!!

I will be on the road in the next few months Heading to Los Angeles to some of my former vendors, In Venice, the Beverly Center, Manhattan Beach, Redondo, and Belmont Shores.... I'm sooooooooo looking forward to this. It's crazy and some of you understand what this even means. After closing the showroom in the California Mart in Los Angeles in 2000, most of you know I never wanted to make jewelry ever again. I Thank all of you vendors, and loyal customers who called me just days before giving birth begging for me to sell whatever I had on hand..... I showed up ready to pop just to fill the request of my handmade items. I will never forget that. The Love that was shown toward my products has revamped my Love of creating..... sample of my newest L.A. bound Baby "Royal Hippie".

For My Etsy customers---- Please just bare with me through revamping the online shop. As you all know, it's so hard to see the pure quality/weight of the items through the computer screen. I'm trying to get the items closer to my L.A. and N.Y. customers! Love ALL you GUYS!!!!!!!!

M.I.A.

There are times when I'm M.I.A.--Well.... This has been one of those times. I'm currently working on 3 different lines of Jewelry that will appeal to the various. May I offer to you:

Line #1--- Darenbak

I have to give ALL credit to my wonderful husband that came up with the name. This is a repurposed line of AMAZING up cycled vintage one of a kind pieces. The name of the line comes from "there and back" encase you didn't get it...... This will be a vintage line with the most unique pieces that I can come across.

Line #2 Conspicuous Gypsy-

From the ends to the ends of Bohemian, Tribal, and YES Ethral!!!!!!

Line #3 Royal Hippie-

I LOVE this Oxymoron.- Refined but not confined. Both or are over the top in so many ways. But if you mesh them together.... Something wonderful happens. This line is made with bits of royal pieces that are found here and there. Most of the line will be 24kt-14k gold vermeil.

All 3 lines will carry high quality semi-precious stones, Leather, vintage pieces. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I have making them!
