life: D.C. mini adventure...

Yesterday, the hubby and I decided to have a mini adventure into D.C. and it was warm HOT! I was uncomfortable all day. All day. Other than being hot, we had a really good time. We decided to go to the Mall and see some memorials and monuments and then stop in the Holocaust Museum. 

After getting of the Metro we had to walk a bit to get to the WWll Memorial, which is a beautiful fountain. Unfortunately, this is where I took most of the photos because it was the only time I was cool. 

People cooling off in the fountain.

Decided to cool off as well. Great TOMS tan, huh?

We passed in front of the White House on our way to the Holocaust Museum.

We also stopped at the Korean War Memorial, Lincoln Monument, and the Vietnam Wall.

The Holocaust Museum was amazing and heartbreaking. I enjoy learning about different events in history, but this one is by far the most horrific. With all that said it is a must see if you are ever in D.C.

A few weeks ago, when my sister-in-law was here, we saw a ton of things and I never posted pictures. You can see most of them on my instagram page!

Oh, and do you LOVE my new picture watermark? The glitter is my FAVORITE!

Have a great rest of the weekend! Hoping to post tons of jewelry pieces this week so keep a look out!

AND don't forget about the Christmas in July Sale going on in my etsy shop until July 31st!

Oh, and be on the lookout for my first GIVEAWAY this week!!

Even though my craft room isn't complete I had an itch to create some jewels for the shop today. So, I pushed some mess aside and got busy. I created 6 pairs of earrings, but only got around to listing 4 of them before the hubby got home. 

BLING! Love, love, love bling. These earrings are super lightweight and adorable. I love the light green sapphire ones the best.

etsy: Mother's Day Weekend etsy Sellers Sale in Carmel, CA...

On Saturday morning we loaded up the car with etsy goodness and headed on down to Carmel for the Mother's Day Sale! There were around 14 sellers with their tables set up. The hubby helped me set up a mock table the day before so we knew what it should look like the day of. He also stayed the entire time on both days. What a sweetheart.
I sold a ton of merchandise and made a few contacts for in-store wholesale selling. :]

My outfit the first day. Finally wore my lace dress with lime green slip.

With my table.

Table set-up.

While we were there I bought a few pieces from the other booths. I am in love with this new leather name bracelet.

And apparently I like my name because this OTHER bracelet came in the mail a few days ago, so....

Oh, and speaking of Mother's Day, here's my mommy with her present from the hubby and I. Brand spankin new Coach purse in a design that is SO her! Check out her blog {that I designed} here!

My etsy shop is up and running again with a ton of items. I might put it on vacation while we are moving across country. But, until then, ENJOY!

God Bless!

etsy: All about my etsy shop, CharlotteIsChaCha

In 2011 I opened my etsy shop, CharlotteIsChaCha. 

My purpose was to sell the many things that I made through my hobby of jewelry making. I am obsessed with making jewelry. I see a design online and I want to make one for myself. But, I made so many that I was sure I would never wear them all. And that's when I decided to open my shop.

My mother had started her shop quite a while before I opened mine. Her design and love of antiques motivated me to open my own. She now has two wonderful shops: lynnesfinds and lynnesjeweledfinds.

She has been such an inspiration and I thank her for taking the leap she did when opening her own etsy shop.

I decided within the first few months of opening my shop that I wanted to add some different items besides handmade jewelry. So I went around  town to all the thrift and antique stores and purchased wonderful vintage items to add with the jewelry. They are all such sweet items and I am finding more all the time. Sometimes I don't want to sell them.

I also started dabbling in making digital prints (I make the print and save it as a jpg or pdf and then when someone purchases the item I email it to them so that they can print it off). I love fiddling around with Photoshop and in doing so taught myself most of the techniques used to make these digital prints. Again, I make more for myself then I do for the shop. They are all just so cute.

For now I have earrings, necklaces, pins, digital prints, and antique knick knacks. I haven't made a ton of sales, but when I get that email saying I've sold an item that I've made it makes me feel so wonderful. Someone likes me, they really like me!

My favorite items in the store right now are my "Keep Calm and Carry On" earrings and necklaces. They are too cute!

So please check my shop out and let me know what you think. AND I love doing custom orders!
