Sylvie and Shimmy

I'm so pleased that MoonRox is now being carried at brand new Toronto store Sylvie and Shimmy.  The cheery little Parkdale spot is filled with well-priced feminine wares from both local designers and Korean lines.  They carry a lovely mix of clothing, footwear, art prints, gift ware and of course lots of MoonRox Jewellery & Accessories!  So happy for owners Caroline and Shim to see their vision come together so beautifully.  Congrats to the ladies on the hard work and beautiful shop!  Check 'em out!

Workings

March was so cold... and April seems to be starting off the same way.  These are a few photos taken while huddled indoors working away in preparation for last week's One of a Kind Show.  This post, and likely the next couple are rather delayed, but I have had a lot to catch up on, so please excuse me!

A pile of gloriously shiny beads to create with.

Confection Bracelets in progress.  Delicious colours new for this season are not shown in this photo...

Love how the days are getting longer.  Everything looks better in daylight.  Moonshadow pieces in progress.

Hot cup of tea and colourful beading.

A new Tiny Necklace to add to the big list of Tinies!  The Tiny Book Locket Necklace!

Little bit obsessed with this one lately.  The Bow Bracelet.  I wear it almost every day stacked with lots of other MoonRox pieces.

Tagging Hair Pins.
(Thank you to J.S. that helped me tag every single earring, necklace and bracelet!  You are the best!!)

Got stickers printed.

The Carnival Necklace!  A new design that was just introduced at the Show.  We have so many great customers that are so familiar with the line and are so kind as to come to my booth every time, so I always like to introduce some new things they have not seen yet.  Always have to create a few showstoppers designed to launch at the Show!  These are so fun.  I cannot get enough of the amazing juicy colours.  I had the frosted drop-shaped beads for a little while and could not settle on what to do with them.  Finally came up with this and I am pretty pleased!  I had so much fun choosing just the right colour combinations.  The Necklace is super wearable and perfect for that pop of colour that is so hot this season!

The Carnival Necklace comes in 7 fantastic colour combos and is now available as part of the Spring/Summer Collection.  Have a look here to find out more.

In the next post, we'll share some photos taken at the Show.

Jewel snapshots

I have always been someone who toted around a camera.  In recent years a small digital point and shoot... when I was younger it was my dad's old SLR, a big telephoto lens and a small film point and shoot. So, having the iPhone camera at my fingertips is like a dream come true for this camera geek.  Having all the photo editing apps is such a plus!  Here are some photos of MoonRox that I have taken in recent weeks. You may have seen these if you follow our Instagram or Facebook Page.  

Some wrist gear from the Entwined Series:

(L-R) Entwined Rope Bracelet in Turquoise/Ochre

Entwined Wrap Bracelet in Ecru

 and Entwined Bracelet in Golden

Bits and bobs and some calipers inherited from my Grandfather on my Dad's side.

Springtime!

Other than a couple days smattered here and there, the weather here has been killer!  It has made it hard to concentrate, especially in this busy time leading up to the One of a Kind Show.  The nice thing is that it has been warm enough on many days to sit outside and work-work-work, while daydreaming of long sunny bike rides and sipping cool drinks on a balmy beach.  Perhaps I can find some time to make that dream come true soon!  Here are a few photos taken recently.

  A bunch of Tulip Hair Pins.  Perfect for Spring!

Building up stock!  

Entwined Links Necklaces.

KK's amazingly delicious homemade fish tacos

followed by an assortment of macorons... yum.

Indulgent meal with a lovely group in the wine cellar/cheese cave at Enoteca Sociale.  

It was delectable and scrumptious and over-the-top.  I'm still full just thinking about it!

Today I am doing lots of last minute things before I set-up tomorrow at the One of a Kind!

I've extended the deadline for the draw to win free tickets to the Show.  It now closes at 11:59pm tonight.  Please enter!  It's easy and no strings attached!

Happy Monday!
