So I know I haven't posted for the last week and a half! After the wonderful feather sale, which was a success, I've been busy finishing up the creations for the fashion show and Carnival jewelry for Labor day , oh yea, and training for a 5k! MADNESS, but I love it!
Also, I'm finishing up some last minute Carnival jewelry for Labor Day! I may even make a piece for myself for the jouvert (IF I HAVE TIME) lol.
In the mean time, check out the Youtube: Caribbean Fashion video promo:

If you don't know, yesterday was the start of the FEATHER earrings SALE on Mango+Paper+Scissors shoppe! I'm selling some great pieces running from $5-$8 full of colors, styles, and designs... There very light and definitely earrings for my clients who love feather earrings but not the typical dramatic, long, and flowing pieces I usually create.
Look out tomorrow for some of these additional feather designs to be sold and are VERY VERY limited.
These we'll be used in the Caribbean Fashion show that's on September 3rd ... and I'm so excited to give you all a sneak peek! We had a long night finalizing things for the show and some fabulous models to work with! Tickets are available for purchase so I hope to see you there!
