Robin Lynne featured me on her blog today! She has super cute and colorful things in her Etsy shop shop so I'm honored to be featured by her!

To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, check out these fun GREEN earrings. I love how they swing and they are super light weight!!


In the near future I will be changing my blog to a different blog provider. I had to turn comments off for this one because it was getting too much spam. I'm hoping I will be able to turn them back on with the new blog! In the meantime you can always shoot me an email, I would love to hear from you!

I have been wanting to use these wood beads forever and I finally did. I love this bracelet! It's so comfy to wear and very light weight. The hand formed swirls I think add just a touch of fun and whimsy.
Here she is, my Modern Nature Girl :)

I couldn't be more thrilled or honored to have someone take the time to write about my work! Check out her blog entry on Blue Lily Designs here!

On another happy note, I returned from the Tucson Gemshow this past Sunday and came home with a ton of new goodies to create with! It was over whelming at first to see such a huge selection of stones and beads, however it was also a ton of fun. :) I can't wait to take a pic to show you my pile of new stuff! ]]> http://www.bluelilydesigns.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry080216-070159 Stephanie Lindner Sat, 16 Feb 2008 14:01:59 GMT http://www.bluelilydesigns.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry080202-115856
Chinese turquoise wrapped hoops:


Loopy Hoops are one of my new favs and will be offered as a limited edition just for that reason. :)


Enjoy! And please check my website for more fun new stuff.

I'm loving hoops right now, plain, with dangles, beaded... I love them all! Expect more to come and if there is a particular color you're interested in let me know. Hint, I have a pair of hoops with turquoise completed and awaiting photographs right now. ;)



I love the colors in this necklace... a bit of iolite, white pearls and light azore crystals. The light azore is one of my favorite Swarovski crystal colors!



I have several other new pieces as well! Check them out and let me know what you think!

There are so many wonderful artists on there! When you buy handmade you're helping someone live their dream and you get a product that's made with love, often better than what you can buy mass produced and more unique too!

I recently bought this lip scrub from an Etsy seller and I love it!!!http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8107540

Have fun shopping!!!]]> http://www.bluelilydesigns.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry071203-102008 Stephanie Lindner Mon, 03 Dec 2007 17:20:08 GMT http://www.bluelilydesigns.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry071120-100824
Being tumbler-less, last night I tried the good 'ol baking soda and aluminum foil trick for polishing my jewelry. Well, actually it's supposed to be washing soda, but I didn't have that on hand so I used baking soda. It worked pretty well, more so on some pieces than on others. Look for instructions in a future blog. Or, if you just can't wait send me a note and I'll tell ya the secret. ;) (Of course google will also tell you, but what fun is that?).

Enjoy your Thanksgiving! Hubby and I will be driving to Tucson tomorrow to be with my family. It will be a long drive, but I can't wait!! ]]> http://www.bluelilydesigns.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry071120-100824 Stephanie Lindner Tue, 20 Nov 2007 17:08:24 GMT http://www.bluelilydesigns.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry071118-060220

No worries though, I will still be maintaining and adding items to my regular website. :)

Stay tuned for new items and pictures to be added soon!]]> http://www.bluelilydesigns.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry071118-060220 Stephanie Lindner Sun, 18 Nov 2007 13:02:20 GMT http://www.bluelilydesigns.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry070922-075900


I'm really happy with the way it turned out and I think she likes it too. :)

I haven't taken a very good picture yet, but here's my other most recent bracelet. It's sterling silver with lantern shaped smokey quartz. I've been in the mood to focus more on sterling silver lately, I think for it's versatility. You can't go wrong with a piece of silver jewelry and since brown is neutral as well this bracelet is very easy to wear. The picture may be fuzzy but it really is a simple, clean, and sparkly bracelet!

So I realized this past weekend that the holidays are just around the corner!! So much to do and not enough time. LOL! I'm considering signing up for the Pine Creek Holiday Bazaar but with my little hiatus from making jewelry I need to start cranking if I want to do it!

Onto the jewelry I do have!!! I did make a new bracelet this past weekend however I haven't taken a picture yet. It's sterling silver chain maille with a few lantern shaped smokey quartz. I just love using smokey quartz because it goes with practically everything! I also made something for my sister for her 30th b-day... it's almost a month belated and not in the mail yet so I better stop with that. To not spoil her surprise, I'll post a pic after I actually give it to her!

Thanks for reading and I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer!]]> http://www.bluelilydesigns.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry070911-150146 Stephanie Lindner Tue, 11 Sep 2007 21:01:46 GMT http://www.bluelilydesigns.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry070519-094823
These pictures were taken last weekend when Bailey was not quite 8 weeks old.



Bailey and the house have been consuming my time lately, but as soon as I get a chance to make new jewelry I'll be sure and post pictures!]]> http://www.bluelilydesigns.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry070519-094823 Stephanie Lindner Sat, 19 May 2007 15:48:23 GMT http://www.bluelilydesigns.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry070417-154517
Sunday Scott and I are going to meet the breeder and the parents of the puppy we will be adopting. I'm so excited for the little puppy!! However it's still two months yet before we will be bringing him home. Patience.... I must have patience! I'm sure I will certainly be needing that once we bring him home. :) ]]> http://www.bluelilydesigns.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry070417-154517 Stephanie Lindner Tue, 17 Apr 2007 21:45:17 GMT http://www.bluelilydesigns.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry070405-083859
Speaking of staple colors, even though black is not my choice, I designed a bracelet with black onyx and light blue quartz. It just needs to be assembled. I thought I needed to design more pieces around basic neutral colors so be on the look out. :)

Off the jewelry topic, Scott and I are planning on getting a Labrador puppy. We are in the process of finding a breeder so it may be a couple of months, but I'm so excited! While I was making the brown bracelet last night it hit me that I'll have to be careful to keep the puppy out of my craft room. I don't want him eating my beads! Aside from not being good for him they aren't cheap either! :) ]]> http://www.bluelilydesigns.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry070405-083859 Stephanie Lindner Thu, 05 Apr 2007 14:38:59 GMT http://www.bluelilydesigns.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry070322-203430
So what is the SRAJD you ask? It's is a group of artists who design, create and sell their own jewelry. It means that all jewelry I sell is handmade by me and is not mass produced here or overseas. It is yet one more assurance that you are buying directly from the artist herself! :)

So what else is new... I've been working on yet another necklace if you can believe it! I actually have 2 in the works which is even harder to believe! :) I love wearing bracelets so much that that's what I tend to make. But do you know why I like them so much? ... Because then I get to look at my pretty all day. :) I can be typing away at work in my bland white walled office (where I really need to hang pictures) and then I can glance down for a moment and see something lovely! While earrings and necklaces are great and fun to wear as well, it's pretty impossible to admire them on yourself. So there you have it, the reason you will almost always see new bracelets on my website more often than other things. I really do try to add balance, but what can I say, I'm drawn to making bracelets! ]]> http://www.bluelilydesigns.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry070322-203430 Stephanie Lindner Fri, 23 Mar 2007 02:34:30 GMT
