As you may know, I am in love with pink. I am also a food lover. If Limocello were pink, it would be this color! The Pink Limoncello Earring is the best of both worlds for me. Check it out :)

My Elephant Ear...



This has to be one of the favorite times of year. If you love to plant and garden, they you know why! All of the flowers and bulbs are beginning to bloom. I planted my tulips too sooon last fall, so they came and went. I put down my elephant ear bulb two weeks ago and it is already starting to bloom. Elephant ear plants need FULL sunlight, no shade or they will not grow. Last year, my plant grew to about 2.5'. I am hoping for 6' this year! We will see! I will take pictures periodically to show its progress!!!

My Latest Vintage Finds!

I am in love with brooches! I ALWAYS wear one! The garnet leaf is my fave!
Chunky Necklaces! Soo much fun! Found the red, blue and brass one for $3 in a thrift store in NYC!!!
Where do I begin with all this!!! Love the peacock earrings and the fish pin! The fish was another $3 vintage shop find! 

So I will admit, I am OBSESSED with vintage jewelry! I love going to flea market and searching online for unique finds. Here are just a few of my latest treasures :) What was your latest vintage find?

My First Home Jewelry Party!






In the past I have done many craft shows and flea markets to promote my jewelry collection. This was before I had an official business name and a webshop through ETSY. I never though about all of the expenses that you have to put out. I had to buy fixtures. Of course when I wasn't looking for fixtures, EVERY jewelry store was going out of business. Then when I needed them, none were to be found. I guess, that is life!

My aunt told me that she would love to host a jewelry party for Gloria's Jewelry Box at her house. Here are a few pictures. The event went rather well, I had a good turnout for it to be a rainy day. I plan to continue doing this, all of my guests said they felt very relaxed and had a great time. Does anyone have any ideas for hosting the perfect home jewelry show? Please share!
