I received so much feedback from customers asking for “normal sized clothing” (i.e. not things that just fit me), that I shopped in search of apparel to fit all — and scored! Brilliant!
I found a great line of soft, travel-friendly garment-dyed cotton/lycra skirts and wide crop pants. Designed in Spain and made in the USA, and very well made by Luna Luz. Check out the ruffled skirt Julia (a loyal Heavenly Metal customer) just had to try on with her blue Eject shoes:
The skirt comes in midnight blue or black, runs S-XL and is sized generously. There are also wide-legged crop pants with two deep pockets in chocolate brown or black. S-XL, same fit as the skirt. (The 3 pairs of Eject shoes in the picture are now 40% off, size 39 & 40 only.)
Start getting excited now for the mid-October arrival of Skif sweaters, handmade in St. Louis. Designed to fit all shapes and sizes with a free-form, free-flowing fit. Skif uses natural fibers, including imported yarns from Italy, Belgium, Turkey, and Ireland. Each sweater is a one-of-kind artpiece and many be worn upside down, backwards, inside-out, wrapped, draped or layered. I am very geeked to be able to bring this exquisitely-crafted sweater line to Heavenly Metal. Get ready: you’ll be geeked too!
And what could possibly look better with your Luna Luz skirt or crop pants and Skif sweater than a beautifully-designed Highway over-the-shoulder bag? In seven fall colors and two sizes, these bags continue to be the big hit on funky side of Huron Street!

Man o man is this the most beautiful day, OR WHAT!
The sunny weather brought these three shoppers (who assured me that they’re not playing hooky from work) into the store. They were having so much fun discovering all the new things, I had to snap a picture of them.
They’re posing with some new Maruca purses. Besides being great handmade purses, Maruca changes their fabrics twice a year, so they become collectors items! Everybody who has seen these fall/winter bags has said this season’s designs are the best yet!
In their hands are little cast iron hand shelves. Great for a bar of soap or jewelry catcher, key holder, candle, whatever. I LOVE them!
Doesn’t she look like one happy shopper, discovering the Queen Bee chirp bag? And there’s wallets to match!

OK. In my last email newletter, I hinted at a collaboration between Wasabi Jewelry and Heavenly Metal. Well, gals….here’s the details:
I host private parties for groups of women — holiday get-togethers, birthday celebrations, or just get-together/shop together evenings. Jill Pearson, owner/designer of Wasabi was so excited by the birthday party I hosted in June (and wrote about here) that she has offered to provide a free piece of Wasabi Jewelry for future birthday parties!
So gals — get out your calendars and start planning! You provide the birthday girl and a slew of friends. I provide the wine and munchies, plus a birthday cake from Cake Nouveau! Voilà! We have a party! And best yet, the birthday girl gets a free piece of Wasabi Jewelry from Jill! It’s a win-win, mais oui?
Is your interest piqued? Let’s set a date!
Running late? You won’t be anymore, after you get one of the colorful Alessi watches now available at Heavenly Metal! Comfy, bright, and large enough for even my ole’ eyes to read!
Colors: red with red face, orange with brown face, lime with pumpkin face, royal blue with orange face, blue black with green face (not shown in pic). Stop by the store or get it online.
