I just created some amazing pieces for a jewelry party that's being hosted on Friday! So excited to see how the ladies view these new pieces. Plan on posting pictures soon.

Whatever you do, don't throw it away!

Lost an earring? Keep the other earring! We can turn it into a charm for a necklace!

Your favorite necklace broke and you lost half the beads? We can turn it into a bracelet or re-do the necklace with more exciting beads!

The clasp on your bracelet doesn't really clasp anymore? We can replace it!

I've spent the last year collecting findings and fasteners for instances just like these.

So far, I've replaced and fixed pieces for 6 happy customers -- happy because they can wear those pieces again! So, don't hesitate... let me restring your necklace, fix your bracelet, or anything else you might need done with jewelry.

Take a look! New online gallery! And Trendy City intros Jewelry Parties!

Trendy City Handmade Gallery is online!

Yes, finally! I feel fantastic about the gallery. It's highlighting some fantastic, super Summery pieces. Not everything is available -- the first Blue Agate piece actually sold a few weeks ago, but something similar can be made with pink, black, or green agate.

It's an exciting time for me & Trendy City. I'm in the process of make a few things official. I've started this blog in hopes of spreading the Trendy City word and the website will be the next step.

I'm also in the process of creating an in-home jewelry party kit. It involves me coming to your house, showing my pieces, and based on what sells, you get either a huge discount OR free jewelry! That sounds pretty awesome, right? Hosting a party is as easy as inviting your girlfriends over, cutting up some cheese, popping open a bottle of wine, and bragging about how cute your kids/husband/boyfriend are/is.

Gearing up for the 2011 Women's Expo at the CLC in Lake County on Saturday May 14th!
