I think I need a new wardrobe!
With these new additions to my jewelry collection, I'm thinking that my closet needs a wardrobe update!
Ashley has been busy putting together two bracelets and one necklace with the vintage charms and beads I ordered from French General. She did such a fabulous job...I keep telling her that she should open an Etsy shop and sell some pieces!
I figured out that my niche in making jewelry is to glue pieces together...which is all I had to do to make the disk necklace and bracelet. Glue I can do...I've had lots of practice with that! :))
Now that my fall catalogs are coming in on a daily basis, I guess I need to start thinking about some new clothes...of course, who can give sweaters or jackets a single thought when the temps are still in the high 90's during the day?
So, maybe I'll stick with my summer uniform of khakis and a black shirt or jeans and a black shirt and let the jewelry enhance my clothes....sheesh, what am I thinking? There's no fun in that!
Have you come across any funky clothes finds for the fall? Where are your favorite places to shop?




I'm sticking with basic pants and jeans this fall...grey, brown, black.
My favorite top shopping stores are Nordstrom and Ann Taylor Loft.

Love the jewelry. She definitely needs to open an Etsy shoppe.
My favs are LL Bean and a local Lifestyles shop.
I took your Colors class and finally finished all the projects. Such fun and I learned a ton of new techniques I can continue to use. Thanks. :)

Loving the jewelry!! Gotta sneak in some purchases from that store....and as for clothes, I'm on the same boat as you....no "fall" clothes for us here just yet (high 80s in Jacksonville)....so I'm still wearing's my summer uniform of GAP tshirts and capri pants. I am so ready for Florida's version of fall to arrive--I'm tired of Summer (right now)!

The jewelry is absolutely stunning. Let me know if Ashley opens her Etsy shoppe because I would most definitely be a customer!
As you know, I'm no queen of fashion. Whatever fits the body and the pocketbook.......those are the rules!
Have a great day!

It was great assisting you in your "Remember When" class at Wishfest yesterday. I went almost directly home and to the computer to look at Frech General on line. I fell in love with most all of what they have!! I would definitely buy from your daughter's Etsy store if she opens it, I would love to have jewelry made with the stuff from French General but I am so not a jewelry maker!!! I want someone else to make it and I will buy it from them. So, tell her......yes, please, open up shop!
Thanks,
Nancie Irwin
