Blog Newsletter - Spring 2013 #1

Hello Friends!
I don't know about you, but I am sure glad Spring is here! As much as I love the snow, the dreary dark days were getting depressing...I have spent most of the winter rearranging my shop items and displaying them using stone...I try to show many angles of the pieces so you get a true idea of what you are purchasing...For Spring 2013, I already have many new designs for sale at my shop...This year, I'm focusing more on sterling silver, and vermeil materials...Vermeil is 18 or 24K gold over sterling silver...I find its important to use higher quality materials, because though more costly, they will truly last a very long time with proper care...

Come take a peek a my new Spring 2013 Collection! www.jayval.etsy.com

My Favorite Stain Remover

Anyone that has a small child can tell you how important it is to find a great stain remover...

I never thought it possible that all stains could completely vanish, until I found Shout Advanced Gel....

Honestly, I just had to share that, because I feel it is something that every mom should know...

Try it for yourself, you will see!

For The Love Of Vintage...

I absolutely love anything old and vintage...

Do you?

I think I love vintage because it has a story...It was around during a time so different from today...Perhaps, maybe it keeps the ghosts around...Yes, I love anything and everything having to do with ghosts...

My house is old...Not as old as I would like it to be, but it is still old, 57 years old....Every time I walk up my creaky old steps, I feel like I step back in time...As much as I love new homes too, there is something to be said about old homes...For one, I think they are built better...They have such character that can't really be captured in newer homes...

Above is a picture of my living room, with vintage wallpaper..People either love the paper or hate it...It was one of things that made us want to purchase the house...I often stare at it, want to take it down at times, update the room, and then I say to myself ..Not yet, not yet....There is something about it, that makes my house a little different from other updated homes...It gives us a relaxing bed and breakfast feeling...What could be better then that, right?

I would love to hear your opinions on my wallpaper....

Keep It or Tear it Out?

I promise, I won't be offended....

I would also love to see photos, and thoughts about your own house...

Have a great Summer!

The Spring/Summer Collection Is Here....More To Come....

For all of you who love spring and summer fashion, my new pieces are in...

What will you see at my shop this upcoming spring and summer?

A collection of pieces that vary from tiny and minimal to bold and daring...

For those of you who are familiar with my shop, as a designer, I don't believe in focusing on one particular style...Everyone's fashion needs change from day to day...Going to a trendy summer picnic?... Go for that dare to be different frog necklace, shown above, matching perfectly with that adorable white summer dress...Just hanging out with some friends at the park?... Try something simple and minimal like my tiny bee necklace ffrom my everyday miniature collection...

I think its really important to offer variety...Dare to be different...Step outside your norm, and have fun...Enjoy!

A Little Bit Of This And That.....

I am back to my blog this month, in case you have not already noticed....With an extremely active toddler, and a business, I guess I put my blog on the back burner for some time....

I am back for good ( I hope)...Why?.... Because I think it's really important to keep you updated with everything of course :)

What will you find on my new blog posts?.....A little bit of this and that....

For privacy reasons, I won't blog about my everyday life...Let's face it, with a toddler I don't have that much of a social life anyway....But what I will blog about is updated news about my shop, why I do what I do, why I like what I like, cool products, gift ideas, fashion finds, modish links, great online magazines, awesome etsy business owners, and more....

I think you will find my blog a little more exciting then usual, and a great place to go to for some really neat finds.....

I welcome all comments, always...

Have a great weekend!!
