What’s new this week?

Summer tops — organic cotton cami’s and layering tops in warm color tones! Yummy soft birds on a line T’s in red, ochre, and pink! And don’t they look pretty fabulous on my newly painted brown wall?

A New Way to Talk to the World

Last night’s launching of the new Heavenly Metal website was a thrill. Julie (my webslave) and I were geeked beyond recognition (drug free, no less). We high-fived and hugged a few too many times. ;) Here she is, seconds from the launch:

Today was equally as fun: two more jewelry lines were delivered by Mr. UPS, needing to be checked in, tagged and priced, and put on display. Hey, no problemo: I’m done working on the new website!

Ready shopper fans? Here’s the goods: more Dream Mullick fabulous faceted silver and gemstone earrings that sold out as quickly as they appeared last month. More handcrafted Sharelli silver earrings and necklaces, made by those girls up in Montreal — back by demand. And of course, the Wasabi delivery: the sweetest delicate 1/2″ peace sign earrings and necklaces, brand new coral and turquoise gemstone earrings and necklaces, and much much more, many stone colors — all too delicate for me to do justice with a photograph. So hop on your bike and ride on over to Heavenly Metal right now before they disappear — or contact me if a bike ride isn’t possible, so I can describe them to you over the phone or by email if you have just got to have them.

Hey, I’m not done yet: the best part of the day was when Martha Bishop showed up with brand new and amazingly wonderful and even better-than-ever handmade greeting cards made from books she scored for free at an amazing recycling event held in her hometown of Williamston, Michigan. I bought nearly 200 of her one-of-a-kind cards because their preciousness is, well, too precious for words. Come see them. Come read them. Martha is a genius. And right now all she wants to do is make cards (they are wonderful). Since she’s currently low on sweaters, she is not in blanket, pillow and potholder production, but she has promised to get back to work on them when she has the materials. But right now, Martha admits all she wants to do is make cards. I can’t blame her. She’s got a good thing goin’ on.

Here’s Martha showing off her new cards:

Heavenly Metal Grows Up!

Heavenly Metal has entered the 21st century! My new and improved website includes an online store, a space to announce new items, news, and such. I’ll be announcing new inventory as it arrives in the store and happily taking your comments! I’m really excited about the online store — something shoppers have been asking me to do for several years. With the aid of my new web designer, Julie Hathaway, I’ve discovered that the process of creating and managing an online store is really not as scary as I’d thought!

While working on this new website, taking photographs of my nieces modeling online store items, cutting hair, and visiting with shoppers, I took delivery of the new Wasabi and Sharelli jewelry. Here’s a picture of a portion of the Wasabi, which now needs to be priced, tagged, and put on display:
