My Christmas gift to me!

Yesterday evening, I was in the creative spirit and decided to make myself a Christmas gift. The last few weeks, I've been shopping for others and thought it would be nice to do something for myself. I wanted to create a piece that I could wear year round and with everything, so I decided upon a bib necklace with flower and button embellishments.

Hello Twitter!

So, this evening, I decided to create a Twitter page exclusively for my handmade jewelry. If you're out there in Twitterville, follow me at @flygirljewelry. Please be sure to say,"Hello" and introduce yourself. I love connecting with others who have a love for beautiful, artistic, bold jewerly!

Hoops!

There is something about these earrings that I just love. I'm a huge fan of hoops, but this pair in particular speaks to me...... hmm, will have to "hold" them for myself :).

6 more days .....

It's hard to believe that in just 6 more days I will be hosting my first trunk show for my line, Handmade by Patrice. In preparation for the event, I've been in the "lab" preparing beautiful new pieces. This show will feature chic one of a kind earrings and necklaces <----YES, necklaces (post and images coming soon).

With the Christmas holiday right around the corner, this is a great time to shop for the fabulous woman(en) in your life!
