Still hard at work gearing up for the new web launch... fingers crossed that it'll be live in a couple weeks. Here's a sneak peek at an image from a photo shoot that'll be featured in the new gallery. In the mean time please enjoy a summer special in the shop... free shipping plus markdowns until September 1st! http://www.papertreasure.net

Coming Soon!

I apologize for the long absence here! I've been working really hard on getting my website ready for re-launch and building up the brand new collection to go along with it! I can't wait to share it with you, but it's not quite ready yet. So stay tuned! Until then, here's a sneak peek at some of the new goods.

Second Etsy Shop & Ebay Store!

I've been doing some Spring cleaning and decided to open a second etsy shop to sell some fantastic vintage jewelry from my personal collection in addition to de-stashed jewelry supplies. There you will find lots of collectible costume jewelry including awesome lucite and bakelite pieces.

Lots of News!

Hello friends, sorry I took such a long blog break... I've been a busy lady! What have I been doing you ask? Well.... there's lots of exciting news....

I will be starting a business class soon which I'm really looking forward to and I am making plans to enroll in Portland's Jewelry Academy in the fall! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about this, it's something I've been wanting to do for a very long time now. Learning to work with metal will open up so many new possibilities... I've already been sketching out my designs and can hardly wait!

In other news, there are brand new pieces available at both Noun and Flutter. Aaand, you can now find me at another spectacular Portland location, Narcisse! (http://www.shopnarcisse.typepad.com The images are borrowed from their site.)
