workin’ on it: new pieces for summer 2010

I’m really into braiding right now.
I’ll be making loads and loads of these all summer long.

Pricing for the necklaces and bracelets will vary by total length.
I’m going to try and make them each in 3 different sizes.

If you’re in NYC (or nearby), these and MANY MORE *new* items will be on sale at my trunk show at Exhale Spa later this month. I really suggest that you come out to see for yourself because I won’t be vending this summer.  I plan on having e-soirees, home jewelry soirees, and trunk shows all summer long. If you’d like to host any of those, email me.

149: recaps!

I am here for maybe only today this week.
Crazy, I know.

This poor blog has been neglected but it’s only because of how extremely busy I am.

So that is good, right?

Of course it is!

So I’ll start in order with Belle Noir’s Curves & Cocktails event held in NYC!

This was my very first time vending as L’élephant Rose and feeling sure about my position. I met so many wonderful women that recieved me with open arms and loved my work, which is an extremely awesome feeling. I had an excellent day there and it was a total success on my first go round. Some people don’t realize what goes into all of this, but when you’re the only one making your work and you are a panic bunny like myself, you tend to overstock. I did just that and sold most of my stuff! It was exhilarating. I definitely look forward to working with those beautiful ladies again.

I’ll just post some pics to help the recaps along…

Next there was my super duper awesome trunk show this past weekend at Exhale Spa! There’s awesome news at the end of this as well.

The wonderful Renee over at Exhale hosted my very first trunk show. It was held in both the Soho and Midtown locations and it rocked! Quite a few people stopped by and purchased some items and everyone commented on how beautiful they thought my work was. THANK YOU!!

Thank you to the wonderful and hilarious staff at Exhale. Thank you to my friends who came through and supported. Thank you to everyone for all the love and positive energy sent my way so I can create and stay focused. I cannot wait to do it again!

Check out the long & beautifully photographed day I had on Friday with my fiance here. Pics from the Soho trunk show are posted there.

And here is my exciting news:

L’élephant Rose can now be purchased exclusively at Exhale Spa, Midtown!!!

I am stocked in a store!! THIS by far is super exciting!

Here are some pics of my display.

Hooray!

Well, I know I still owe you some more stuff, but do you know how long I’ve been typing?
Today I’m doing touristy stuff with a bunch of friends from Amsterdam that got in last Friday and buying stones to create more jewels for this coming weekend.

Check the next blog post for details on that.

The show is now in TWO locations
And it is also now Friday and SATURDAY.

In the meantime, I’ll be busting my butt making as much as humanly possible.

Look forward to catching you there!

147: spread love

Here are the things I do know:

I know it’s Friday.

I know that I’ve been hella neglectful.
I know that the love of my life is in town and I’ve lost track of time.
I know that I am running around NYC like a headless chicken trying to get stuff done.

All in plans for this:

exhalespa-trunkshow

COME OUT NYC!! NJ!! PHILLY!! EVERYBODY!!
Show your support. It’ll be a dope time and I’ll be there. :)

Also, my website will be up and running next week. That is SUPER exciting!!
I’ve got lots of smaller things in the works too.

Soon, I’ll be able to post a calendar of  where to see me!
Also, if you’re interested in having shopping parties with me, feel free to email me at hello@lelephantrose.net

I know I owe you some photos and if they don’t come today, they will be posted this weekend.
And I still have to do my super run down of my event 2 weeks ago. I finally got the photos. Sorry for the delay.

Things should be back to normal in about another week or so. Posting wise. ;) I SWEAR!

All my love and hugs and kisses
