look book recycle

I had a Trunk Show over the weekend and thought I'd try something different.  I offered up door prizes of nail polish, hand cream and a nail file in adorable little gift bags I made from my retired look books. I've seen tutorials for this elsewhere using catalogs that are bound by staples down the center.  The look books we have are bound more like a magazine so I am using one page only.  Below I'll try my best to explain the process.

new year, new projects

This is my new project for 2013.  I felt like I really needed something that would get me out of the house, meet new people and just have some fun.  I once worked in a department store selling fine jewelry.  Aside from some of the usual drama associated with any workplace I really enjoyed talking to people about the jewelry, setting up displays and just playing in jewelry all day.

So this is my new thing! A few years ago I held a Trunk Show with a company called Stella & Dot.  I loved the company and the jewelry and considered becoming a stylist for them.  Well, it only took two years but I've done it.  I officially launched my jewelry business on Friday! My samples have arrived now I just have to wait for the other miscellaneous stuff to arrive.  Stay tuned for more jewelry and style as I learn more about this fabulous business!
