Hello everyone!!! I hope y’all are having a great, hot! summer so far. I am! I love the hot, hot heat. Well, it’s been quite sometime since I have posted anything new. My husband and I decided to spend our 2nd wedding anniversary in New Orleans – my favorite place on the planet! I’ve also been working on getting my stuff together to get ready to start school.

Annnnyyywaaaayyy, I must admit, I have not worked on ANY new jewelry. However, I have been getting into embroidery big time! If you know me, you know I have to start new projects every couple of weeks or so. What can I say about embroidery??/ Well, not enough!! I love the colors and details. I love watching something come to life before my eyes. And, I love the possibilities. So needless to say, I truly have been embroidering my world.

If you are interested in having anything embroidered or purchasing one of the pre-made embroidered items please let me know. Without further ado, I present AvaForever Embroiders!

In order to get over my winter blues, I will begin working on my spring collection this month. I had wanted to begin last month but with gearing up for my hectic semester, I didn’t have much of a chance. (I was able to finish up 3 custom orders! Thanks again, Michele!). At any rate, the spring collection will be out end of March/beginning of April. I will also be selling jewelry in-store from the fabulous Kiss n’ Make-up on the Avenue in Baltimore. The ever-so-kind and generous Deb has offered me some space. Please swing by and take a look at her beautiful items and some of my delightful jewelry.

Stay tuned…..

Recently, there have been quite a few changes in my life.  I quit my job and decided to go back to school this semester. I allowed myself a month off in order to catch up on my personal life. So, I present you with a ton of new pieces!!

The newest additions to our collection are the Katherine earrings, the Jody earrings, the Antionette earrings and a pair in the works. I was also able to create the first ever AvaForever ring, the Marguerite!!

In addition, I have been working on 3 custom projects, the Michele necklace, the Nightlife necklace and the Bluebird necklace. The Bluebird necklace is still in creation but very closely resembles the One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s necklace. I have finished work on the Gypsy necklace, as well. A beautiful vintage aqua glass teardrop dangles from a beautiful rose colored bronze chain. In the works, the Pocket Watch necklace. Once I have completed this project, I will definitely post pictures. In the meantime, check out my Etsy store or take a look at the Gallery. It’s never too early to start shopping for Valentines Day. ; )

As well, I was able to begin working on my Spring collection. My inspiration for spring is the 50′s….Carmen Miranda and Esther Williams to name a few. Bright colors, fruit, and lots of layers and dimension. I’m ready for Spring already. Working on these new pieces will help me forget that we still have a few months to go.

I hope everyone enjoys the new year and, remember to check back often!

In the meantime, there is still time to place custom orders. I will work well into the night to insure your jewelry makes it to you by Christmas. However, the sooner the better.

Thanks again!

It has been a few weeks because I had custom orders out the wazoo but now we’re up and running again. The newest holiday pieces are finally available. There is still time to put in custom orders, as well. Please let me know asap!! And, as always, thank you for your business!

The Wife

I have been asked to ccreate a gift for a wife. I was emailed some pictures of her style. This is exciting for me because I have a chance to create this piece based on my interpretation of her personality through pictures. This is, in essence, the whole purpose of jewelry. To share a bit of ourselves with strangers.

The Children

-I am working on a necklace for a mother. Our goal is to make a piece that reflects all three of her children and their individual personalities. I am excited for the challenge of making one piece based on 3 people.

The Octopus

The Octopus is being created for my firey, red-headed, hula hooping, marine biologist friend. This is going to be awesome! Similar to the design of the One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s necklace using an octopus as the focal point.

I will post pictures of all the new designs as they come together.

I would like to extend an early thank you to everyone that has contacted me regarding creating custom holiday jewelry. I look forward to working with you to create something spectacular for the season.
