This is a designer I found on Etsy (of course) I bought a necklace created with Zipper Pulls. Gave it to Jessy for her 21st Birthday, This is her modeling for us. She loves it.. you can see the rest of the designs at Fashion Saboteur 

I love when designers use items that are meant for other purposes in their jewelry.

All The Way From Israel....

 When I started selling all my goodies I had no idea in which direction it would take me... I had no idea weather I would succeed ... I thought I would be so isolated from everyone... Stuck in the basement ya know...But just the opposite has happened. My Shop on etsy has become one of the biggest supply shops ( Yippee)I have started another Supply Website, and I am anything BUT isolated . I have met some of the most creative people, The nicest,The most talented Artists. Doing this ( Selling my wares) gives me such a sense of satisfaction.

Okay enough of that ... I really want you all to take notice of this extremely talented women her name Is Rona Ribitsky, she has a fabulous shop on etsy Studio Rona . I had the distinct pleasure of meeting her and her very sweet Husband Gregory, when they were in NYC for the Accessories Show at the Javits Center last month. I now have a new friend, maybe one day i'll have to go to Israel and visit..how great would that be...hmm...thats an awesome idea, Rona if you're reading this "Put the coffee on" lol
