New

We're gearing up for the Gallery Walk next weekend by finding new ways to display our larger lithographs (more on that soon) and doing lots of ordering. I should have more than a week's worth of "new" posts by next week! For now, how about some more new jewelry? New this week are new sizes of platinum / CZ hoops and these lovely teardrop-shaped studs (that just happen to have a matching pendant). We should really have something for everyone by the time the Gallery Walk starts up next Saturday evening!

New Necklace and Jewelry

Our pretty new jewelry just arrived! This necklace features a one carat bezel-cut solitaire and I'm so glad I ordered it. It's classic and beautiful AND it matches these earrings (total weight of one carat) and delicate tennis bracelet. We have quite a pretty display set up here! Each CZ stone is cut on 58 facets, giving a realistic diamond look at a small fraction of the price.

Lucy Shoulderbag - Kashmir

My favorite thing about this purse is actually the interior - the coordinating print is beautiful and I could really use its four pockets! This cute little bag is at just the right price ($32) and even has an optional matching eyeglass case ($10). Of course, it also matches the predominant colors of the shop. As nice as it looks sitting on our shelf, I don't expect this purse to be here long!

The Just-Right Wallet

Songbird Cotton Company makes these cute little change purses / wallets. I love the unique prints (these three are my faves, but we have quite a few more) and slim size. Sometimes you just don't want to carry a large wallet! Each has 6 interior card pockets for maximum organization in a minimal package. At just $8 apiece, you can pick out a few favorites yourself!

This Just In

I thought you might enjoy a blurry photo of our newest beads. :-) They are moving quickly and I think they'll be a hit at this weekend's craft fair!

Eclipse

Another pretty set of bags from Songbird Cotton Company! The yellow and grey fabric is one of my favorites. This Stella shoulderbag ($45) has a magnetic closure and six (6!) interior pockets to keep you organized. The foldover wristlet clutch ($20) also features a magnetic closure, two ID-card sized pockets, and a detachable carrying strap. A coordinating zippered wristlet and wallet are also available here at Village Home!

October

So far, I am just loving October. Here's why:

1. The weather has been fantastic - a little crisp, even. I get so excited when the humidity drops like this.

2. TropStock was a lot of fun. We met lots of nice people during the treasure hunt and some of them really got into the pirate riddles!

3. Dennis and I are looking forward to the Fall Craft Fair the 16th and 17th. We have plans to lure visitors off of the streets and into the shop.

4. Holiday shopping has started! We have definitely sold a few Christmas presents in the past couple of days.

Optic Bloom

This roomy bag from Songbird Cotton Company has pockets galore - both inside and outside! Best of all, it has a long sturdy shoulder strap. I especially love the unexpected pink in this fall-colored, 100% cotton printed fabric. The Lola Shoulderbag ($40) is pictured with a coordinating zipper wristlet ($13) which features a durable and detachable carrying strap!
