Temporary Shop Closure for Maternity Leave!

Well, today I temporarily closed up shop on both my regular and Etsy sites. I've got a baby waiting to be born here, and didn't want to leave anyone stranded with placed orders should he arrive early. It's the first time the shop has been closed since I opened it, so it feels weird. But sometime soon after I re-open in February, there will be some new designs available, including the ones pictured above (as yet unnamed - any suggestions?).

For now, you can find new shipments of my work in person at the following spots:

* Craftland in Providence Rhode Island

* Peaceable Kingdom in Ann Arbor, Michigan

* Naka in Ferndale, Michigan

* Tilde, in Portland, Oregon

Have a wonderful holiday season everyone!

Jewelry By Jessica at Presents of Mind!

One of my favorite stores in town, Presents of Mind, (on 36th and SE Hawthorne) is now carrying Jewelry By Jessica! If you've ever been in there, you know what a wonderland it is for stationery, jewelry, cool baby gifts, books, purses and a million other things. I dropped off nearly 80 pieces there on Friday - they should be ready for purchase by mid-week this week. Go visit them!

{Of course I didn't make it out of there without making a purchase (never can) - I brought a Sukie stationery box home with me. My rationalization was that I've wanted it for, oh, nearly two years now, I think. It's even cooler than I thought it would be. There are stickers in there, people!}

Jewelry By Jessica at Tilde!

Whew, that was a long hiatus between posts! Lots going on: a move, currently 6+ months pregnant, got cable (very time consuming), etc. But I wanted to pop in to let you know that you can now find Jewelry By Jessica at the incredibly lovely store Tilde in Sellwood (just a few minutes' drive from downtown Portland). Debbe Hamada curates an amazing selection of wonderful things, and has made the store itself just beautiful. (And don't you love her logo?) I'm really honored to be one of the artisans represented.

Wendy at Circle Circle Dot Dot has generously featured one of my pieces on the front page of her incredibly cute online store. There's my Roses and Thorns necklace front and center, and on the right, an awesome Jen Corace drawing brilliantly comissioned by Wendy. Make sure to take a look around over there - lots of great handmade goodness to be found.
