The Devil Wears Etsy: In the Pink


It's been a few months since I've wrote one of my "The Devil Wears Etsy" posts. But, now that fall has arrived, I've cleared my schedule and now have plenty of time to get back into the swing of writing more regular posts.

Today, it was easy to get inspiration from all the perfect for fall colors that have been uploaded to The Devil Wears Etsy group on Flickr. I particularly love these perfect-for-fall pinks, reds, and purples featured in today's post.

All of the items are made by independent designers with shops at the online marketplace, Etsy.

Enjoy!

Saturday Sparkle: Fall Color

>> Saturday, November 7, 2009

I woke up this morning to clear crisp skies, turning leaves, and the gentle sound of wind rustling the trees outside. That put me in the mood for fall. I love autumn colors -- warm buttery yellows, soft citrines, rustic coppers, and rich carnelians...

So, before I get off to doing my Saturday chores (autumn decorating is on today's to-do list), I thought I'd pop into the Saturday Sparkle Handmade Jewelry group on Flickr to find some inspiration and lovely fall colors. So, without further ado, here are some of the beautiful pieces being created by independent jewelry artists this autumn:






Happy Saturday
(and keep sparkling!)

New in Shop this Week

>> Friday, November 6, 2009

One of the things I've long wanted to do is to try to improve my ability to take photographs on my jewelry for my shop. This week, I had time to get a little more creative than I've been in the past. I wracked my brain, hunted and sorted through all the tchotchkes around my house and found some interesting things to use as photo props. Here's the result:




Anyway, its a nice almost-warm, almost-winter day. So, I'm off to run errands and have a lunch with one of my friends.

Happy Friday!

About This Blog

It first started as a way to share the inspiration behind my beaded jewelry creations with family and friends. Next thing you know, this blog became a hobby on steroids--complete with a logo!

In my not-so-virtual-reality, I'm a freelance technical and marketing communications consultant who spends her time doing geeky things in the high-tech industry. But on my little blog here, I write about indie fashion and jewelry (mine and others). And if the kitchen's been good to me...I might even throw in an occasional recipe.

Please note that blogging is my hobby and all content on my blog is selected by me. My posts are NOT in any way affiliated with, related to, or endorsed by Etsy.com.
