Candyland!

DLD jewelry is most commonly described as "candy-like". Bright pinks, purples, greens reds, and other colors that are reminiscent of candy. The necklace below is appropriately named Rock Candy. Rock Candy looks delicious enough to eat, but I wouldn't advise it. ;)

The Blonde Factory

Caroline Baxley, a friend of mine, is the mastermind behind The Blonde Factory. Her clothing and my jewelry were featured in a fashion show in Winston Salem over the weekend. Her style draws inspiration from the past, such as shift dresses from the Sixties. She uses lots of vintage and textured fabrics and lots of detailing, such as ruffles and rhinestone brooches. I am a huge fan and hope you will be too. Her blog is http://www.theblondefactory.blogspot.com/. Stay tuned...pictures from the fashion show will be posted soon.

Wedding Season!

Wedding season is getting close and I have been getting a lot of requests for wedding jewelry. I have worked with many brides to create jewelry for themselves and/or their bridesmaids. It is an exciting time for the bride and it is fun to work out options with her. Generally, I have made the same design for each bridesmaid to create a cohesive look when they were wearing different style dresses. However, I have also made necklaces with different designs (and same colors) to compliment the style of the wearer.

Customer Appreciation!

There has been a flurry of activity lately at DLD. I have participated in a couple jewelry shows and have a couple more planned before Christmas. One is the ICE show in Atlanta on November 21 http://www.ice-atlanta.com/.



My jewelry was recently picked up by Isabel Harvey as well. Isabel Harvey is two sisters in Massachusetts who have a great website and boutiques and have gotten alot of national exposure. http://www.isabelharvey.com/.



Another exciting event was a contest that DLD clients sent in pictures of themselves wearing their favorite DLD designs which would enter them to win a $50 gift certificate. All participants ended up with a gift certififate to use on the DLD website.

24-7 Article in Skirt! Magazine of Winston Salem

What's new... Last month DLD participated in a Hospice Charity event. I chose to donate 40% of the proceeds to Hospice. The event was very successful and generated alot of interest. I was asked to do a Q&A with Skirt Magazine of Winston Salem, NC. The article is below... It is in the September issue which is in newsstands now! Skirt Magazine is a free publication geared towards shopping and women.

Here is the Q&A part...

Feliz Navidad!
