College graduations are just around the corner & high school graduates will be walking soon too! Here are a few graduation designs I created in their honor. Key chains & bookmarks make great personalized graduation gifts for young men.

personalized teacher gifts

It's almost the end of the school year (can you believe it's already May?!) and time to thank teachers! I have just added these two cute teacher necklaces to my shop. This one is larger and features a 1" sterling silver pendant with the teacher's name and a pewter apple charm. The other has a slightly smaller 3/4" sterling silver pendant with "teacher" hand stamped and an adorable little sterling silver owl charm.

Current completion time is 1-2 weeks, so there's still time to order one of these personalized gifts for your child's teacher!

personalized Mother's Day gifts

I have to say that I appreciate Mother's Day even more now that I'm a mommy! In my opinion, anyone who carried, birthed, or loved a baby the way that only moms can, deserves at least one day a year to be pampered! I have so much fun creating "mommy jewelry"...keepsakes that are hand stamped with children's names, nick-names, birth dates, etc. These treasures make splendid Mother's Day gifts! Here are some of my favorite pieces for mothers/grandmothers.

* Don't forget to mention "WHOA MAMA" in the message to seller at Etsy checkout for a free initial charm (you choose the initial) with $25+ purchase. *

personalized Easter necklace

March sneak peek & an announcement

Here's a sneak peek at some of the new personalized sterling silver pieces I'll be adding to my shop soon.

The sterling silver baby bracelet is a cuff that can be personalized with baby's name and/or birth date, or a sweet message. With a gentle squeeze or pull this cuff will fit baby for years! (It's amazing how little a baby's wrist size changes over the first few years!)

The square raised edge pendant is very unique...personalize it with up to three short names or initials. It would look fabulous customized with a monogram for a wedding gift.

The mixed up charm bracelet features lots of tiny charms in rectangles & circles. They will accommodate small initials in any three of my fun fonts (block, script, or typewriter). This is a great gift to give grandma with the initials of all her precious grand kids.

The copper and sterling mini name necklace is a cute combo of circle & square, copper & sterling. It will accommodate a short name on each. If you have longer names, I can make the charms larger!

On April 1st I will be giving a PROMO CODE for my Mother's Day sale!

oh so beachy! (a sneak peek)

I'm definitely a beach girl! I know, I know...I live HOURS from the beach. But, once upon a time, I lived right there, practically on the sand. I love the smell of the water, the crisp ocean air, the sand in my flip-flops, the powerful yet peaceful crash of the waves, the amazing way the ocean goes on forever until it melts into the sky (need I go on?).

This new piece is for anyone who adores the beach like I do. A sterling silver oval is hand stamped with "beach girl" (can be customized as you wish, of course). A chunky piece of turquoise sea glass hangs with a fresh water pearl and sand dollar charm. So cute!

flowers to lure in spring

I love spring! Now that March is here I am longing for spring more than ever (although this blooming-trees-itch-in-my-eyes and tingle in my nose isn't pleasant)! So, here are some flower pieces that I thought might persuade spring to come to central California pronto! Cute silver and copper charms that can be personalized with whatever makes you happy! I'm really lovin' the flower dangle earrings - I've been wearing them to work at night. So, here's to spring! Hope you love these little pieces

cool custom monograms

Another new design that uses this same size pendant is my large swirl necklace. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=39362288 I love this piece for someone who needs a lot of text on her pendant! It's perfect for a special quote or a mother/grandmother with a lot of children.
