I know it seems really early as we are all sweating to death in the recent heat but Hannah and I have already started planning for the holidays! We are introducing some new shapes and sizes of tags and we are also beginning to put together what we are calling a “Design Bar”. Guests at home parties will be able to design and create their own necklaces and earrings while at the party and leave with them that night. The “Design Bar” will be a fun new additions to the home parties and something that is totally different from all of the other home parties. Guests will still be able to purchase jewelry that is already created but now they have more options! If you have any questions or want to schedule a home party for the end of the summer or the fall please feel free to contact me anytime. Sarah: sarah@sbcollections.com or 215-512-1131.
We are planning to have the “Design Bar” up and running by the middle of September. More information to follow shortly!

Katy is one of my wonderful friends from High School (C.B.West in Doylestown, PA). I was so honored to design and create her wedding jewelry. She and her husband were married right on the beach, just the two of them. So romantic! Isn’t she beautiful?!

Amelia has great taste! These are freshwater, coin pearls. They make a huge statement and are amazing. Customers that have purchased these pearls have said that they get stopped often by others asking about them. Very organic feeling and looking. Each pearl is hand wrapped in sterling silver wire. I do have several strands of these in varying colors including: peacock (blue/purple/green/pink), champagne, a light peach, white, and silver (with light flashed of green, blue, purple, and pink). They are a little pricey and range from $140 to $250. However, in the large stores they would easily be 5x as much. Hope you like them!

We are getting ready to introduce a several new tag shapes and sizes. I am hoping to have them posted in about a month. In order to prepare for the tags, we need to make some room so the fancy oval is being retired. We do have 9 left. Typically they are $42 for the tag, stamping, and chain. The sale price is $35! Please let us know if you are interested in the the Fancy Oval. It is a really interesting shape, that you rarely see!

I am planning on being at Rice’s on Tuesday, August 3rd, 17th, 24th, and 31st. I will be in my same spot, #38, out towards the road, near the large cream house on Rice’s property. There are trees and a grassy area behind my spot.
Here is my booth!

I have a wonderful Rice’s neighbor! Kristen of “Sadie & Sophie” creates wonderful bows, headbands, and tutus for little girls. I think I have just about everything that she makes!

Hope to see you soon at Rice’s Market!

My family and I have been living in Milford, NJ for about two years now. Our home is right on the Delaware River and a block from town. We love living in Milford but we have been quickly outgrowing our home and feel like we are always driving so far to get to places. The home is owned by my husband and I, along with my parents. The best part is, we won’t be selling out home in Milford. We will rent out the house in order to keep it in the family and keep out ties with Milford. We had been talking for awhile about moving to Doylestown and finally found the perfect home for our family! Our new home is in Doylestown Township and on a wonderful, wooded lot. The house needs some TCL but we love to fix up houses so we are enjoying ourselves. I have to say…between my new niece and moving, I am a little distracted! I am looking forward to some down time to get some jewelry designing in. I will apologize up front if I am not as prompt with responses or as focused as I typically am. I promise I will get back on track soon. For right now though, I am enjoying picking out paint colors and planning the flower beds!

Well, we would have sworn that Hannah was having a boy but we got a wonderful surprise with another little girl. I am a proud aunt! She is beautiful! She was born on May 20th. Both mom and baby are doing well. Hannah is feeling pretty good but very sore from the c-section.

Hannah (my sister who does the stamping on the tags) is having her baby on May 20th! We are so excited to meet the new baby, they don’t know what she is having. Such a wonderful surprise! She is having a scheduled c-section. Needless to say we don’t know how she will be feeling after the 20th so please keep this in mind if you need a tag necklace around this time. If you need a tag necklace, please feel free to still contact me and I will let you know the approximate completion time. We will do our best to meet any deadlines.

Also, my family just closed on a new home! We will be working very hard to get the house ready to move into during the next month or so. I will still be working on jewelry and completing orders but may be a little distracted! Of course I will still see that your jewelry is perfect for you! We will be moving to Doylestown, Pa in the beginning/middle of June! We are so sad to leave Milford, NJ and the wonderful Delaware River but are ready to put some roots down in D-town! I can’t wait to build my new studio for my jewelry!!!!
