New Scent Day 2 "Sherlock"

2011-11-15T12:13:00.000-05:00

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle(1859-1930) was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. He studied to be a doctor at the University of Edinburgh and set up a small practice at Southsea in Hampshire during his 20s. While the practice proved largely unsuccessful, the lack of patients provided him with the opportunity to create possibly the most popular character ever introduced in the history of fiction, Sherlock Holmes.

While at University, Conan Doyle had been greatly influenced by Dr. Joseph Bell, one of his professors. Bell was an expert in the use of deductive reasoning to diagnose disease. Conan Doyle was so impressed that he used these same principles when creating his famous detective.

Sherlock Holmes was introduced in A Study in Scarlet (1887), followed by A Sign of Four in 1890, but didn't really take hold of the public's imagination until Strand magazine, newly founded in 1890, published a series of short stories called "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes." From that point on the public couldn't get enough of Holmes and his always reliable confidant, John H. Watson, a retired military doctor.

Residing in London at 221B Baker Street, Holmes's character and personality set him apart from all others. "Holmes, with his keen sense of observation, his lean face and hooked nose, his long legs, his deerstalker hat, his magnifying glass, and his ever-present pipe. This personality is what caught the reader's imagination." (The Literature of Crime and Detection)

Thank you!

2011-11-15T10:54:00.000-05:00

We are currenly on a 3 day production rate.Coming soon: Body Tonic Wash, sugar scrub, & solid lotion bars! The response to Nevermore Body Company has been overwhelming!

Thank you so much everyone and Happy Thanksgiving!

Introducing "GRIMM"

2011-11-14T14:21:00.000-05:00

The True Story of the Real Brothers Grimm

Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm was born in January 4, 1785, in Hanau, Germany. Just over a year later, in February 24, 1786, his little brother Wilhelm Carl Grimm was born. Their father was a lawyer, and they had six more brothers and one sister.

In 1802, Jacob went to university to study law at the University of Marburg. As always, his little brother followed him, and entered law school in 1803. During their university years they began to collect folk and fairy tales. Folklore is stories that have been passed down from parents to children, by word of mouth, but at that time many had not been published in books. The Grimms were especially interested in stories that included Germany and German culture.

Jacob and Wilhelm published their first book of fairy tales – “Children’s and Household Tales” - in 1812. There were 86 folktales. Readers were so happy to see the stories they had been told as children all collected together that the book was a success. In the next volume of “Grimm’s Fairy Tales”, the brothers added 70 more stories. It went on growing like this for six more editions. Finally, the book contained over 200 stories! It is probably the best-known work of German literature. Even if you don’t know the Brothers Grimm, you definitely know a Grimm fairy tale.

If only all brothers were as close as the Brothers Grimm. They were always together – even when Wilhelm married his wife Henriette, Jacob continued to live with them! The Brothers Grimm were both professors and scholars. In fact, Jacob Grimm is considered to be the father of the study of German history. They both taught as professors in Germany’s capitol, at the University of Berlin. They became known throughout Europe as experts on anything to do with folktales, language, and anything German. They were so into books that they both became librarians as well! During their lifetimes they published many more very important books, including “German Mythology”, “Old German Tales”, “The History of the German Language”, and even the German Dictionary.

Grimm fairy tales include stories of kings, magic, and talking animals. Even though the stories are sometimes scary, fairy tales allow us to work through our fears. They often teach us a lesson about moral values, and right and wrong.

Fresh start!

2011-11-13T12:38:00.002-05:00

Everyone needs a fresh start if they've had a business or crafting hobby for multiple years. Although my jewelry business has been very good to me, and no I am not quitting it completely, I needed a fresh start. In 2008/2009 my family and I had a storefront close to where we live and we started a bath and body line. At the time it was called Enchanted Wings which was also our shop and jewelry line namesake. The response especially around christmas was unbelievable. Through much thought we have decided to bring it back! I opened the Etsy shop on halloween and have sold out twice! Thank you so much to everyone who has been so supportive! I will do my best to blog regularly. Look for our limited edition scents in the next few days!

Out with the old......

2011-07-19T19:49:00.003-04:00

....In with the new! New business cards that is! Although I am completely in love with my Raven logo business cards, I felt that I need to represent my jewelry more. At least for this collection. So here it is!!! Drum roll please!

Making a Vow!

2011-07-12T12:44:00.002-04:00

Today July 12th 2011 at 12:45pm I am solemly making a vow to blog! As you can see from my past entries I have fail to do so faithfully, and that makes me a little sad! So from this day forward (I sound like I'm marrying my blog!!) I will share, vent, laugh, cry...do whatever makes me feel good! And you my little pretties will have no choice but to listen!

My most recent excitement is The Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival that is only 5 weeks away. When this time of year rolls around I can never contain myself! I get to see old friends, make new ones, and of course show off whatever creepy ideas have made their way into my brain! As you can see not only my blog but my website has changed. I wanted to really nail down something specific as to what I do or create. My love of Frida and Dia De Los Muertos has grown more over the last 2 years than ever. Come on I got a Sugar Skull tattoo...I think I'm in love! So I wanted to change up the dark backgrounds and go with a Mexican color theme. What I love the most....yes it's a bit more bright than you may have ever imagined me having but underneath it all it's still very macabre! Viva La Frida!!!

I'm baaaaaaaack!

2010-01-26T00:09:00.009-05:00

I am so excited to be back in my studio creating fun and whimsical things for all to see! I have 3 new pieces that I have added to the shop today and a little sneak peek as to what's about to come! Enjoy!

I am in Love!!

2009-02-20T13:27:00.002-05:00

Ok, the explanation first. I have a regular run of the mill Dell laptop which has served me well over the last 5 years. Up until recently have I had any problems with it and I also no longer have a warranty for it. My normal programs, turbo tax, photoshop, etc are all running fine. It's really just my website tools and the internet. SO, I now come to the point that I fell in love! I just bought myself Acer Aspire mini notebook. Perfect for internet, mail and small programs. It is the height of my Mocha Frappuccino bottle and I can splide it right in my purse! Ahhhh, my Mini Notebook, I love you......

It's February????

2009-02-19T12:26:00.003-05:00

Woah, where did the time go??? I also apologize for writing NOTHING since July! My vow for this year is to post quite often as I do have some fantastic things in the works. First I need to give a HUGE thank you to Georgia from GypsyWings. I received the necklace that I bought from her and I have yet to take it off! It is absolutely beautiful! I am such a fan of her, her work, her bolg....everything! Not to mention that she is the one who got me hooked on the Twilight books.....but that's a different post!! Check out her blog too! You can find it on her Etsy page.

Also, I want to pass along a new website for artisans and those who love us! 1000 Markets

That link will take you to my shop but you can also browse from there. It is the best website. I was hooked the first second I was on!

Ok kiddies, that's all for no. I'm late to open my shop!!! OOPS! Have a great day!

Busy, Busy, Busy

2008-07-15T00:03:00.003-04:00

Things have been so busy here at Enchanted Wings. Not a bad thing!! We just came off of a huge show that was very successful and not we not only have to concentrate on our shoppe but on the Renaissance Festival. Whew....not enough time in the day! I am hoping to have some picturs of the shoppe up tomorrow. My camera has been a bit under the weather but she's better now! My goal from now on is to not only blog more but pictures, pictures, and more pictures! Have a great evening!

2008-05-07T21:47:00.002-04:00

Well, here it is! Our new storefront. We will be moving in next week and it really can't come soon enough! As I write this I can't believe that it has happened as fast as it is. Just over a month ago I was worried about booking enough shows to keep us busy throughout the year and now we can have our own show 6 days a week! It's 800 square feet and has a fantastic backroom that we will be moving our studio too. Another thing that I am so excited about. We also have a space for classes, our children theme parties, yoga classes....etc! I will keep everyone updated with photos of the entire move in process. You can also visit out website at www.enchantedwingsjewelry.com and click on the storefront tab for updates and news! Have a great night!

Quiet???

2008-04-27T22:21:00.003-04:00

Drum roll please.........................we have a looked at a storefront and we are taking it!!!!!! It is a dream come true for us and I can't believe it is actually happening! So many things to do! We open in Exactly 2 months from today! June 28th! We will still be doing our normal shows in themean time...those will never stop so don't worry! I can't write anymore...My head is spinning!

Inspiration

2008-04-02T00:12:00.002-04:00

Lately I have been inspired by so many things. The weather, colors, upcoming events, history, and most importantly, other people. I do have an entire list of blogs that I cannot live without. One of my favorites was talking about her stress. But instead of focusing on the actual stress, she blogs daily about 5 things that she is greatful for or even a things to do list for that day. I am the person that worries about things to worry about!! So at the risk of copying, I think I am going to start the same thing. If only to put my focus on something else and not something to worry about! I am going to change it up a bit though. I will make a list of 6 things...I like things in threes!

So for today's list I will have a mixture of things I am greatful for and to do's...here it goes!

6 List:

1: Go to Dr. with Mom
2: Work on finishing new line
3: Order new business cards
4: My Family
5: My Husband
6: My Health

Have a beautiful Day!

New shipment

2008-03-18T14:42:00.002-04:00

As promised, here is a new shipment that I received from my favorite place to buy beads. There are just too many to choose from and they are all so delicious! So many textures, styles, shapes and colors, a girl can get lost all day in their beauty! I have so many plans for these little babies. I'm just waiting for a silver shipment to get here and away I go!!!!

Unsure where to go!

2008-03-18T12:04:00.002-04:00

I have been up in the air about where to blog lately. I not only have a blog on blogger but also on typepad. I do see more traffic on blogger, but I like typepad better. I am so confused? If anyone has any thoughts on this matter that would really help. I guess I just have to stick with one and see how it goes.

I got a new shipment yesterday. So beautiful! When I sort through it I promise I will take some photos and let you have a peek! More later!

Adopt a Magickal Creature!

2007-10-14T12:48:00.000-04:00

Just a little update. My Adopt a Magickal Creatures have arrived! Please checkout my website for all the magickal details! I will post photos later!

My family and I went Ligonier Days yesterday. I have to say that it was a bit dissapointing. We have been going since I was a child and I am now 30! So for quite a few years, and yesterday just wasn't the same. Maybe next year?????

From my Studio!

2007-10-02T23:46:00.000-04:00

This is a first from my new hammered line. I am so excited to present this to the world. My forst one took a little while to finish, but once I got the hang of my creation and got it out of my head, I was moving right along.

You can see this in person this Saturday October 6th at the Hamilton Church Harvest Festival in Bethel Park from 10am to 4pm. See you there!

New Ideas!

2007-09-26T23:26:00.000-04:00

I am very happy to post that I have so many wonderful new projects coming out of the magical closet! It's too soon to let the cat out of the bag yet but very soon my pretties! Let's just think trolls, fairies, mushrooms....well any kind of creature that you might just find on a magical and enchanted forest floor!

It's raining out right now and I have a chilly wiener dog that is trying to snuggle up on my lap. So for now I will leave you with your thoughts on what enchanted Wings is coming up with next and we will see you on Sunday September 29th and the South Park Wave pool for the South Hills Chamber Car Cruise from 11am - 5pm! Come and check out our tent!

One Month Break!

2007-08-01T16:26:00.000-04:00

I am so happy to be show free this entire month. As we take this much needed time off, don't think for a second that I won't be doing anything! I have a little traveling and alot of designing planned. So much time has been taken selecting just the right stones, pendants, bits & bobs! All new items will be launched in September.

I will be posting all upcoming shows throughout the month of August.

I am off to paint! Have a great day!

Ghosts Anyone???

2007-07-18T00:31:00.000-04:00

2007-07-04T23:30:00.000-04:00

Every year it never fails, I try to be a good homeowner by keeping my yard beautiful. I do love to garden I have a huge one in my back yard, every summer I get attacked by the

"leaves of three let it be"! And I never do! This year I got a special treat.....no, no, no not poison ivy, I got poison oak!!!!!! Woohoo for me. As you can see in the picture above that rash is the best of the worst! I will spare you the unsightly pictures of the really bad ones.

I have it all over the left side of my body, both feet, chest and back....oh and now on my nose. I am going to the Dr's tomorrow and I can honestly say that for the first time in my life I am excited to go!!!!!! Sorry that must be the poison talking!!! But look how great the yard turned out!!! The sacrifices we make!

Happy 4th!

Whew!

2007-06-29T11:48:00.000-04:00

First I have to apologize for neglecting my blog. I have been very busy placing orders, designing, paperwork etc. So for those of you who read this (besides my Mom) SORRY!

Second I am so pleased to announce that Enchanted Wings and Fairy Laundry will be a vendor at the Haunted Psychic Fair in Dresden OH at the Prospect Place Mansion. To see pictures of the Mansion and for more details check out http://www.beavercountyghosthunters.com/ The dates for the event are July 21st & 22nd.

We will be staying at the beautiful Inn at Dresden. Lucky for us it's beautiful, it was the only place left! By the way for those of you who don't know where Dresden is, it is the home of Lonaberger (sp?) Baskets.

I had to post this picture. I found it on another blog and I feel in love. It is SO my life!

Have a great day!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

2007-06-21T23:42:00.000-04:00

The weekend is almost here and for the first time I have absolutely nothing to do before my show on Sunday! That is a first in 5 years! I am totally ready, including change. No jewelry that needs to be put together at the last minute, nothing to price, no reorganizing, not even any packing. My large basket of supplies is ready to go considering I never unpacked from the Fairie Festival. All I am doing is hoping for a great day!

Speaking of the Western PA Fairie Festival I have not yet had the chance to post my thoughts. This was our first year attending, it's only the festival's second! We met alot of new friends and contacts, ate some great food, and our sales were fantastic! Although alot of other vendors were not very happy with their results, we have to rememer that this is a new festival. Linda and Liz are on their way to successful event, we all just have to stick in there. i am very happy to be on the ground floor in this and am already planning for next year.

Having the likes of Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew, and pirates singing infront of our tent....how could you not have a great time! Thank you Linda for an eventful weekend!

New to Blogger!

2007-06-19T11:24:00.000-04:00

Well I am here. Most of the blogs I read are on Blogger so I decided to switch. So while I am in the process of switching over I will be listing my upcoming shows and new works of "art" and anyother ramblings that may be in my head! Until I am finished, please be patient with me, this might be a mess!!!!
