About Me:
I love creating jewelry and am my own best customer and worst enemy when it comes to the inventory in my store. I work four days a week at our graphic design studio in Fullerton, where I grew up. I am so lucky that my husband fell in love with Fullerton, too...I found out after we met that he used to drive through our old downtown on his way home from work because it reminded him of his home in Belgium. The other two days (yes, a six day work week!) I get to spend in my store in old downtown, which is located in a 1907 rococo landmark. I spend my free time creating jewelry from vintage findings, chain, baroque pearls and found items, and hunting down things to carry in the store. I have been blessed with a patient partner who has come to see the beauty of things he used to refer to as "junk," a beautiful and talented daughter, and a chance to share all this with family and an ever-growing circle of friends. I love junking and hunting down the elusive find that no one else loves, my friend Wendy, and my little Paulie and David. XOXO :-)

I'm Melting....

...a la the wicked witch of the west, only I am lashed to a computer at my office doing really mundane stuff when I want to be working on jewelry in the worst way. Alain has been sick for a few days and only today put in an appearance at the office, so it has been the "me" show so far this week, and barely keeping up. Big plans to catch up today, only to be thwarted by proofs on the magazine we produce arriving this morning via Fedex that had to be read and signed off, and then shipped back;… Continue

Clarification is a beautiful thing, but sometimes painful...

I have decided to "clarify" every area in the store, revamping and sorting out things of every description. It's a total visual overload on its best day, and a managerial and merchandising nightmare on its worst...



I only had two or three hours yesterday to devote to it because we were throwing an "apartment shower" for my daughter and her soon-to-be roommate Kyle. We invited our closest family and friends, and we all met at the local Big Lots closeout store and drew lists of cards… Continue

Parting is such sweet sorrow....

Well, it has to be done. I can't keep it all, and in the throes of organization, I have decided to part with some of my findings. It's rather freeing in a way, because now I feel like I could possibly go out junking this weekend and search out some new acquisitions! If anyone needs them, there are vintage filigrees and findings on my etsy, as well as some of my old religious medals, and some of the pendants made from vintage castings, rhinestones, and old religious stamps from the 1950s. On… Continue

It's Love!

I can't get over what a difference this camera has made in my life! Well, I'm not going to take up professional photography (I'll leave that to Alain), but it's actually a joy and not a frustrating endeavor to capture my things and get them posted. I took photos at the store and you can actually see what things are, versus my soft, mushy and slightly overall pink shots from before. I must figure out how to remove those and replace them with some better shots. I'm rating the Canon high on ease… Continue

New Camera!

I splurged and acquired a new camera, and what a difference. Makes me wonder why I was limping along on 2.5 megapixels all this time....guess I was in a comfort zone of sorts, and finally it wasn't very comfortable! Love my new Canon PowerShot...big viewing screen that is nice on my tired eyes, simple to operate, easy software installation, and took it home from Costco for $299 plus tax and that included a printer! Heaven....I'm in heaven...Wendy I will bring it in to the store on Friday for… Continue

Thanks so much. I can't say I have done too much lately, as I am moving my brick and mortar store right now and that is keeping me teetering on the edge, but hope to get back to listing and more normal stuff in a few weeks. As i am writing this, it's so funny because we both have little women for our avatars, and it looks as though they are chatting...! :-) Warm regards from Gilding the Lily and me, nancy
