Inman Park Festival 2012

It's that time of year again where I'm in massive production mode for the Inman Park Festival this weekend. I will be having a whole table full of sale items that are marked 35%-50%  off and racks of $9-$12 earrings! Plus some fun goodies. So please come by my booth. As long as they keep me in the same spot, I'll be on Euclid at the corner of Hurt.

Also, for those of you who are not local or can't make it, I will be putting up sale items online the following weekend. That'll give me some time to photograph and upload them. I'll announce it on my Facebook page, Twitter, Instagram and send out an email. So follow me on any of these social network sites or join my mailing list to stay in the loop!

Studio Time

Nowadays, you will see all the cars here with this greenish, yellow halo, which means that Spring has officially arrived. This means that I'm in the studio a lot making lots of pieces for the Inman Park Festival. I will be continuing my spring cleaning theme, so I am actually going to have a whole sale section this year. I'm going to have a bunch of $10 earrings and items that are 50% off, so mark your calendars. April 28th and 29th are the dates. Below are a few pics of what I've been working on and my process.

My messy work table.

Blogging Again!

After over a year of not blogging and many months of thinking about blogging again, I've decided to come back to it. I'm not making any promises to myself on how often I'll be writing or having making sure that I post about certain topics on a given day. I was trying to do what I thought needed to be done, and what I read needed to be done, and it just wasn't working for me. So, it'll be totally organic, and I am looking forward to see what I come up with. I hope you'll join me.

ICE 2010

I've been busy in the studio stocking up for the many shows I have coming up. Next up is the Indie Craft Experience holiday show. There will be lots of great artists from all over the country, so come get your holiday shopping on! In case you can't make it, I've also dropped off new pieces at the Beehive, Sole Shoes and Dakota J's, and my online shop is open. See you soon!

Copper Designs

Just wanted to put quick update on what I'm working on. I've been doing more metal work in my studio and working with copper. I've been gearing up for Renegade Chicago which is coming up so quickly! So here's a little preview of things to come. I can't believe it's almost September already!

Beehive Warehouse Sale!

The Beehive's first bi-annual warehouse sale at the new location has started! All the sale items are 40%-90% off so be sure to check it out if you're in the Atlanta area.
The Beehive is located at 1250 Caroline St. in the Edgewood Retail District. For more details, click here. I'll be working there this coming weekend, so I hope to see you there!

Birthday Celebration!

It's that time of year again when I get another year older. So I am having a sale to celebrate. Everything in the shop has been marked down 36% for my 36th birthday. So hop on over and shop! The prices will be going back up on Sunday.

Being Narcissistic Part II

I just wanted to thank Brooke from the Celebration Studio for showcasing my Crystal Droplet Bundle necklace on her blog. This I also found through www.socialmention.com.

Being Narcissistic

I think I spelled that right. Anyway, I was browsing through the Etsy forums and read about the site, www.socialmention.com. It basically searches the interwebs to see where the search term has been mentioned in blogs and social networking sites. So of course, I typed in juneshin to see what came up. Most of it was my own postings of facebook, but I did find out that my necklace squared was featured in an Etsy Storque article on May 10th. I can't believe I didn't even know!
Anyway, it was a nice surprise. So if you want to see if anyone is blogging about you, go check out the site.

Kirkwood Spring Fling

I'll be selling my designs at the Kirkwood festival tomorrow from 10-7! Come find me at booth #41 and see my latest designs. The festival will be taking place at the Bessie Branham park with lots of artists food and drinks. Should be good times!

Beehive Grand Opening!

The local Atlanta boutique, the Beehive, has moved to a new location and is having their Grand Opening party tonight! I know I'm posting this last minute, but if you are around, do stop by to check out the new location. There are a lot of new artists and the space looks great. Plus, you can get 15% off all purchases and refreshments will be served. See you there!

The Direct Line

I don't really have collections or lines for my jewelry, but I recently decided that I will have a line that is exclusively sold online, and not in stores. Right now, it's labeled as the Direct Line, and because these pieces are sold only in my Etsy shop, the price points are much lower.
Well, I've never been very good at coming up with good names for my pieces, so if you can help me come up with a better name for the collection, I would really appreciate it! In fact, I think I will have an impromptu giveaway. I will give an item from this new line to the person who comes up with a name that I use. Just leave a comment with the name and your contact info. I'll pick a name at the end of the month!

New Flower Earrings

These cute little acrylic flowers look like candy and are just fun earrings. Plus, they're really affordable! Seven colors are available and are now available in the shop.

New Studio Space

About a month ago, I moved my studio space out of my house and into a little corner of a friend's studio. Mary, from Felted Heart has this awesome space, so I asked to see if she would be willing to rent out a little corner of it. So now my home is a home again, and now I have a place to go to spend dedicated time to making jewelry without any distractions of television or internet. Before, all my shipping supplies were in the basement, but now I have it all in one contained space for a lot more efficiency. Plus, my friend, Alex, of Lil Sprout Knits will also be renting space. I love having a studio to go to with studio mates to socialize with while working!

I am on Vacation

and I am hoping to see a little of this:
Well, even though I am on vacation, my online shop is not. However, since I will not be shipping orders until April 19th, the S&H costs are on me! I'm also having a secret sale, but you have to be an e-mail subscriber (you can join on the right) or Facebook Fan to know about it. {hint hint} So happy shopping and happy Spring!

Orange Silk Flower Earrings

These are a new pair of earrings in my shop. The orange trumpet flowers have a pearly luminescence and are really rich in color. Hung on antiqued brass ear wires, these earrings are very affordable.

Wedding Video with some June Shin Designs by Fototails Photography

A few months ago, Jeanine Thurston, of Fototails Photography, did a wedding photo shoot with products from a variety of designers and artists. I've been slow to post this but an finally sharing it with you all. The styling is gorgeous and Jeanine's photography is absolutely stunning. I was so honored to have some of my bridal designs as part of this shoot, and am working hard to add more designs to the collection.

Viewing these pictures almost makes me want to have another wedding. The bride in this picture is wearing a pair of earrings from my collection. Click on the photo to see the video.Thanks Jeanine!

New Triangles Necklace

When I went to the bead show a month ago, I found this great chain of antique silver triangles, which I turned into this necklace. It's delicate, like my usual designs, but has an industrial feel to it. I think it's my new favorite necklace in the shop.

A customer in Atlanta Magazine

I just found out that one of my customers and fashion blogger is spotlighted in this month's Atlanta Magazine Head-to-Toe style feature. She is Jinah of Bonjour it's Jinah! and she's wearing one of the few copper rose necklaces I had made which her boyfriend bought for a Christmas present. The online version of this article is here. Congratulations on the feature, Jinah!

Happy New Year and Update

Wow, it's been a while since I blogged. It's Valentine's Day and Lunar New Year, and my husband and I decided to spend the day at Jeju spa for some Korean food and relaxation. So I just wanted to write a quick update of what I've been up to. For you local peeps, Kelly's Closet in Candler Park is now carrying my jewelry! I'm really excited to be working with them, as it is a great boutique. Additionally, I've just brought over new pieces to Sole Shoes over at the Edgewood Shopping Center. They are both carrying pieces that I have yet to put online, but not to worry, I will be uploading within the week.

Happy New Year and Valentine's Day!
