It was a busy week, indeed

 

Good morning and Happy Monday! Last week was action packed - sorry for not posting a thing! I will elaborate more when I have (hopefully) some rock solid news to share. For now let's just say things are "happening."


This gold dipped notebook project has me aching to do something creative. And, here are some images that have me inspired {one | two | three | four}

Thanks to all who attended the party at Shake The Tree in Boston last night! It was wonderful meeting you in person and great fun assisting with jewelry selections! Hoping everyone has a happy weekend. 

lime curd coconut bars

 

Another rainy day on the marsh has piqued my hunkering down instincts and what better place to hunker down than in the kitchen? I made these super easy lime curd coconut squares over the weekend and am getting ready to make another batch (after I write this post, of course). I was so thrilled to have found a dessert that can be put together and popped in the oven in under fifteen minutes (so long as you have the lime curd prepared in advance). I stumbled upon the recipe for the squares and the lime curd at salad in a jar. The only variations I made were to add 1/4 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut to the sweetened shredded coconut and I cooked the lime curd on the stove rather than making it in the microwave.

I'm thinking these squares would be great to bring to our next dinner gathering or as a sweet treat to pop in a few of our neighbors' mailboxes. The cute packaging I like to keep on hand can be found here.

Color Trend - Coral & Mint


One is energizing and spicy - the other is cool and refreshing. Put these two colors together and you have a flattering, hip of-the-moment collision of color. Coral and mint are this season's big hit! Featured designs: St. Tropez earrings in coral and Bonbon earrings in mint.

New Design ~ Zodiac Charm Necklaces

 

Show off your sign with a hand stamped zodiac charm necklace. It's cosmic - choose up to six charms on one necklace. What a fun way to indicate your significant other, members of your family, your best friend or even you "astral three" (sun, moon and rising signs).

Circle Fringe Necklaces are back in stock

Happily announcing that the Circle Fringe Necklace is now back in stock. We sold out of this style over the holidays, but now both the gold and silver styles are available again and just in time for spring! With so many options, this piece is a work-horse. Wear it long, double it to shorten the look, layer with other pieces... you get the idea. We're not sure how long we will have these in stock again, so act fast if you've had your eye on this effortlessly stylish necklace.

A Day to Celebrate Love


Thanksgiving is usually the holiday we give thanks for all that is good in our lives. I've always been a fan of celebrating not just love and romance on Valentine's day, but also my thankfulness for having love in my life. I hope everyone takes a moment today to be grateful for the love in their lives. Happy Valentine's Day!

Love,

Marissa B.

Secret Admirer Necklace - a token of love


This sweet little token of love is a personalized way to tell your special someone that you want to stay close to her heart. Whether the secret's out or not, the Secret Admirer necklace is simply stated love.

Love Letters

Our newest collection, "Love Letters," is an assortment of not-your-average hand stamped charms. The favorite Little Sparrow necklace and Tiny & Mighty Heart necklace can now be stamped with the initials of your choice. We love wearing the sparrow charms with our kids' initials. One of our staff members wears her Tiny & Mighty Heart with her initial stamped on one side and her boyfriend's stamped on the other. It's cute... but not too cute that we puke. 


Score big points with your sweet and give something tailored to fit your love.  Since Valentine's day is right around the corner, we can't guarantee these will be in stock up to the last minute. Shop early and you shall be rewarded with 20% off selected V-day baubles!

Spring 2012 Pompoms have arrived!

 

With names like "sunshine," "rose" and "sky," the new colors of our popular Crystal Pompom Earrings compliment the colors of the upcoming season. Even "cloud" has a silver lining - it's a lovely alternative to its darker verson, "chrome."

New design ~ Tiny Heart Necklace

 

It's no surprise that it's the little things that make a big difference. The Tiny Heart Necklace delivers a big message in a teeny, tiny way. We're smitten.

Madame Got Rocks Bracelet in Tiger Eye

 

There's just one of these spectacular tiger eye bracelets left! Faceted tiger eye rounds are sultry and luxurious. Snap it up before someone else makes this stunner hers.

Holiday Shipping Timeline

 

Hello lovelies! After putting together our holiday shipping schedule after the cyber-monday rush, we realized we better give our customers a heads-up for planning on getting those boxes underneath the tree (or into the stocking) in time. To ensure delivery by Friday the 23rd orders must be placed no later than December 15th. Of course, you can always take your chances and order after the 15th, but we're not making any promises that you'll have the delight in watching your lucky recipient sing "Joy to the World" when she opens her gift. If you're sending gifts all over the place and spreading the Marissa B. love, please make each transaction individually. That way there won't be any confusion as to who gets what when we pack up your orders. 


We hope you're enjoying this holiday season, and thank you for choosing a handmade gift!

New design just added ~ Pearl Petal Earrings

 

"Not your mother's pearls," is what one of our staff members said when she saw these beauties on the design bench. It's true, our Pearl Petal earrings are a modern take on a timeless classic. Every woman needs a pair of pearl studs in her earring repertoire. We think these would make lovely bridesmaid gifts in addition to answering the question on all our minds: "what do I get my {assistant, mother-in-law, sister, babysitter...} for the holidays. Oh, and don't forget to gift a pair to yourself!
