2024 Spring Collection 𝜗𝜚

I recently released a total of (8) new jewelry pieces to the shop to kick off my 2024 Spring Collection! Before creating this new collection, I set out to find a group of stones & crystals that truly capture the essence of Spring. Here is a list of the materials I gathered…

• Mother of Pearl (Nacre)

• Iridescent Preciosa Crystals

• Translucent Glass Beads

• Floral Cameos

• Victorian Settings & Frames

Next, it was production time! Using the materials listed, I began to create a treasure trove of whimsical earrings & necklaces, all inspired by the new season. This new collection features Hand Sewn Lace Necklaces, Mother of Pearl & Floral Amulets, Crystal Drop Earrings & so many other precious pieces! I absolutely adore how this collection came to life but here are my top (4) personal favorites...

Spring Book Reviews & Reccomendations 𝜗𝜚

‘Anne of Green Gables’ by L.M. Montgomery (My Rating: ★★★★★)

I don't think I could imagine a more fitting book to read in the Springtime! Although ‘Anne of Green Gables’ is a beloved & well known classic, I didn’t find myself picking this book up until recently & I’m so glad I did! In this novel, we follow Anne, an orphan with a lonesome past who, despite her troubles, chooses to view the world around her with an infectious doe-eyed optimism. If you need to be still for a moment and marvel at the sweetness of nature you can do so right alongside Anne in this precious little book! My favorite Spring read thus far.

‘Antiquity’ by Hanna Johansson (My Rating: ★★★★★)

God, I can’t believe this is a debut novel. The prose is nothing like I’ve ever read before. I stumbled upon this novel while browsing a bookstore in Midtown Manhattan. This bookstore is right next to the jewelry supply store I frequent so needless to say, I’m always browsing titles there. This novel first peaked my interest because of, well, look at that cover?! Translated from the Swedish, this novel by Hanna Johansson is a queer Lolita story. We follow a truly unreliable narrator during her summer vacation alongside a mother and daughter duo in the Greek island of Ermoupoli. This novel is so visceral, I genuinely felt as though I was there, vacationing in Greece, right alongside this unnamed Humbert Humbert main character - even when I didn’t always want to be. I devoured this book in 2 days, I highly recommend.

‘The Enchanted April’ by Elizabeth Von Arnim (TBR)

‘The Enchanted April’ is next up on my TBR! I’ll be reading this title before the end of April. If you would like to read & discuss this novel with me, I’ll be hosting a comment section for this book over on my blog. Here’s a brief synopsis of the story if you’re interested in joining the discussion,

“This literary work narrates the tale of four English women who embark on a vacation to Italy after stumbling upon an advertisement promoting a diminutive medieval castle situated along the picturesque Italian Rivera.”
