Shop Update - no. 3

Time for another shopHollyDolly update, you guys! Up this week - The Mixer and Spool. 

The Mixer is an eclectic mix of different beads all strung together. They can include hand painted wood beads, pyrite, turquoise, glass beads, and anything I can get my hands on! Each one is different, and therefore one of a kind!

Spool necklaces are really neat, and pull at my little sewing-loving heartstrings. Each is made from a vintage wooden spool, and then wrapped in different color-blocked floss. Perfect for a seamstress or craft-lover! 

Ah yes, and I also added just a couple more hair bows, as well. 

Stay tuned next week for another batch of new items!

Topsfield Fair

It was a rainy, cold, and at one point - powerless day at the fair last weekend. But its a yearly tradition, and I couldn’t not go this year. I would’ve had a big sad face. So we grabbed our umbrellas and headed out to Topsfield. Even with the rain, we gobbled down all our favorite foods (seriously the best part of any fair), the animals were still all smiles, and the game people still hassled us to spend our money. 

Aaaaah I love the fair :)

Do I look cold? I promise you I wasn’t. These were taken last week when we had a random 80 degree day that snuck back into our fall weather. It. Was. Glorious.

Shop Update - no. 2

I have the next batch of shopHollyDolly items ready to go! Introducing : Little Gem and Five. 

Little Gem is a dainty little necklace featuring a little colored gem and a dropped gold filled chain. Right now, it comes in teal green, orange, and smokey grey. I’m kind of obsessed with this new little necklace! You can see me wearing it here and here. 

Five is a necklace that features 5 different colored faceted beads. Some have a dropped chain, while others have a tangled web of chain intertwined between the beads. All of these necklaces end up looking different - between the color combos and different chain details. So every one is like a one of a kind! You can see me wearing Five here. 

Oh yes, and I also updated the tassel necklaces. Check those out, too, in the shop. 

Stay tuned next week for another batch of new items!

New England Fall Adventure

On Saturday, Boo and I embarked on the quintessential New England fall day. We drove all the way up into New Hampshire, over to Maine, and then back down into Massachusetts. All in one day. We took in the changing foliage, came across a small town farmers market, climbed to a few waterfalls, ate lunch overlooking the beautiful view above, stopped for some pumpkin donuts and maple popcorn and apple cider, and took sooooo many pictures.

It was one gorgeous day, I tell you :)

In My Life

» If you missed it, I slowly started making updates to shopHollyDolly! I’ll be adding more bows and tassels today, but I’ll be sharing more new items next week. So stay tuned!

» Boo and I decided to take a little road trip up through New Hampshire and Maine this weekend to take in the fall foliage. We’re kinda just winging it. So, New England friends - any suggestions?

» I can’t stop thinking about this jacket, this skirt, and this sweater. Pleeeeease get in my closet. 

» Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin ravioli - I love it all. My newest discovery? Pumpkin fro-yo. Delicious.

Bejeweled

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen when I posted a photo of these LeBunny Bleu shoes the other day. I called them fancypants, and I stand by that description. They really are fancypants. So I paired them with some actual fancy pants.

Shop Update - no. 1

Sooooo I’ve been mentioning a shop update and a bunch of new items for a while now. And after a couple months of jewelry making, I do have a crap ton of items to share. Yes- the proper term is, in fact, a crap ton. This may take a while. 

But before I get into the new items, I thought I would start out by updating shopHollyDolly's existing stock. Where it all started - the bows. The Bow Necklaces (and all necklaces form here on out), are now finished with either sterling silver or gold filled chain and clasps. And the length of the chains are now adjustable. Yippee! The Hair Bows, on the other hand, are exactly the same. But they did get some fancy new product photos :).  And I may even have a few new colors to add soon!

Ok, ok, I can’t help but share ooooone new item this week…….

Introducing the Knot Bracelet! Multiple strands of suede cord are tied up in a simple knot and finished with a small chunky gold chain and clasp. I’m kinda in love with these, you guys. 

So there we go! I actually just started adding these, but I was too impatient to wait. So I’ll be adding more of the above items throughout the week. And then I will slowly start sharing the new (!!) items starting next week. So stay tuned!
