Weekly Inspiration Post - Subtle Mix of Colours

Today's set is a combination of subtle colours. Due to the use of pastels, the set seems mellow and dreamy, whereas the deeper brown and teal add a little more spice. We enjoy making "unlikely" combinations - mixing colours and styles that you wouldn't normally expect, and we think this set does exactly that. This assemblage contains a teal Little Peace, and a lilac tourmaline Royal Princess, which are both from our older collections. It also holds the fairly new white Misty Dreams, and a dark brown Ojibwa Princess with a mint green tassel.

Love, 
Lisa and Ivanna



PS: In case you wish to order any of these, make sure to be quick! We still have a 14% discount in our shop ^^

Shop Update: Behind-the-scenes - Handling Orders

Not really a shop update, but since we've been so busy with our shop lately, we thought it would be nice to talk about our "behind-the-scenes" process a little more! We love pretty much everything we do for our blog and shop (except for writing Etsy listings, which is kind of a drag :p), but the thing we love most is handling orders. Because ultimately, that is what it's all about: making our jewelry, and trying to make our customers happy. So, today we will share a little insight in our process of handling orders!

Firstly, when we receive an order, we immediately start creating and/or adjusting the items. In case of bracelets, we might have to adjust the size, or create a new bracelet altogether. Sometimes the customer can choose from a variety of colours or charms, and we will make and adjust the items to the customers desires. Since we often have just one piece per design in store for pictures, we usually have to make the ordered item from scratch. This takes a bit of time, but personally we like that we can really put our heart and soul into that one piece!

Monday's Musical Delight - Playlist #25: Guitar Songs

Since I've already made two playlists with Drum Songs, I figured it would also be fun to make one with songs that I like to play on the guitar. I haven't really played guitar in quite a while, but since I put a set of new strings on my acoustic western, I really felt like playing again! Mind you, I'm not the next Jimmy Page or something, so the songs I play are rather simple, but they are fun nonetheless! And if you don't want to play along, they're quite nice to listen to as well ;)

Have a great week!
