Rings on My Fingers…

…and bells on my toes. We’ll I don’t have bells on my toes, but I definitely love wearing rings. I have rings from my grandmother, some classically designed, others funky, and ones from markets in Mexico. Recently I’ve started making stretchy ones that suite anyone’s ring size. They’re comfortable and remarkably cute! They make wonderful gifts for just about anyone, and with the holidays lurking in the future, they’d be great for teachers, neighbors, and friends. The rings are very reasonably priced which still give you money to actually line your wallet during this economic turmoil.

Baptized

I was baptized on Saturday, August 9, 2008. What a tremendous experience to be cleansed for my past, present and future through Jesus’s love. Here is a video that captures the essence of the moment: http://www.willowchicago.org/baptism.aspx

Flower Pendant Necklace

Even though I love making one of a kind jewelry, there have been some pieces that more than one person has wanted. Take for example the flower pendant necklace…this piece has been a hit this summer. Even though I don’t mass produce my jewelry, you may be one of many who has one…I think that’s ok for something that has women smiling…don’t you?

Wrap Skirts

Wrap skirts have been around for a long time. But just think of having one that was made with two layers of recycled sari fabric, is reversible, and can be worn many different ways? This product outside of sheer genius is a wardrobe staple! You can wear them with a tank or tee and some flip flops or dress it up with a tube top and heels. Women have loved the versatility of this product and once you try one on, you’ll be instantly addicted too!

Wrap Skirts & Silk Scarf Dresses - Fly off the Rack!

Let’s just say that setting up the booth, having a couple beers, selling lots of products, spending time with my sweet husband and seeing the woman who introduced us (after not seeing her for over 9 years), helping out customers, hearing festival music, and working with my sister-in-law and two close friends, made this a great weekend!

We sold a ton of reversible wrap skirts made from recycled saris, scarf dresses made with poly silk and an assortment of earrings, rings and necklaces. Everyone who bought something was really happy with their purchases. We look forward to hearing more about this fun event! Comment away!

The birth of my blog

Well, it’s not like childbirth, that’s for sure. The birth of my blog was much easier than walking into the hospital. The only thing similar is that it will take some effort on my part and the part of everyone I know to help raise it and nurture it to become something of significance. It takes a village, but the first step is the birth…and so, we have elementsbylori.com/wordpress. Welcome to the world little blog.
