New Jewelry and The Changes I'm Making


I've been adding more jewelry to my Etsy shop, which you can find here:  www.frenchsentiments.etsy.com.

All of Carriage House Samplings is now down in Silver Spring, MD at Marty's house.  It's SO weird not going out to my barn studio first thing in the morning any more!  My jewelry studio is upstairs in the house, which is very cool.  Today I'm adding a desk and a printer which will connect to my laptop.  Then I'll be completely self-sufficient in the house. 

There are definite bonuses....I'm doing laundry as we speak and I seem to be better at keeping the house neat and tidy.  Rosie and Bella miss the studio though.  They loved having me out there while they had the run of the fields. 

We have the BEST plans for the studio!  My brother is giving me his ping pong table and I know I'll be driving Art insane wanting to play ping pong every waking moment of every single day.  I LOVE ping pong!  The studio will be the perfect place to put the table!

Hope you're having a good week!

I've been thinking about you this week and how weird it must feel to no longer have charts to print and orders to fill.

And can I just say how jealous I am of your appointed ping pong space? I have already told my husband that when we add on to our house, there WILL be space for a table with enough room around the edges for family games of round robin!

You have captured beautifully the warmth, comfort, and feeling of cocooning that this season brings, in your new pieces!! They are all amazing as is the depth of your talents.

Ping Pong is not a game played much here, and I haven't even seem a table in 4 years! It truly is an American phenomenon! :)
