What's new?

There are so many new things going on... As of today, Thrive designs is, in a word, thriving. :)

As far as new items goes, there are:
new lace headbands!
braided headband! (just one as of now, more coming soon)
the first necklaces and earrings in the Free Spirit line!

The first 3 necklaces from the $5 necklace sale are posted as well- This is something that I plan on continuing indefinitely, necklaces will probably be listed a few at a time.

The Facebook fan count reached 60 recently, and, as promised, I've done another drawing (with TWO winners this time!). Congratulations to Rebecca and Christina, and thanks to everyone who's been supporting Thrive via Facebook.

Lastly, I've started working on another line that I'm very excited about, featuring jewelry inspired by different cultures around the world. Once I complete a few more pieces, I'll post an update with photos and talk more about my inspiration. :)

Once again, thanks to everyone who has been supporting Thrive Designs on Facebook and Etsy!

update

Since I last updated this blog (it's been a WHILE) I've created a Thrive facebook page: That's where updates, sales, and giveaways will be posted. The first giveaway was Friday, April 8- Congratulations to Alison Allsopp, who won a free Thrive item of her choice.

I also launched a new bracelet line called Free Spirit: This line is what I'm mainly working on now, and I'll have more items going up soon! The bracelets (and soon, necklaces) are inspired by springtime, nature, bright colors, feathers, and many of my friends who spend time exploring outdoors, going to the park, climbing trees, or at the river. So, in coherence with the theme of my new line, I'd like to share some 'free-spirited' items from Etsy that have caught my attention lately.

Free Spirit Mixed Media Art Print This is the epitome of what I try to convey through jewelry

Nepalese Sari Maxi Skirt This is gorgeous, and custom made with beads & peacock feathers

Ocean Reef Hemp Halo Vintage charms, very beachy

Splash of Color Bird Print Beautiful print of an original watercolor

Free Spirit w/Bird Necklace Sparrows are free spirited birds!

Brown and Green Crocheted Shoes I would wear these to the park. Often.

Valle Girl Designs I could not choose just one of her bangles to mention! I want to wear ALL of the skinny ones at once. Such lovely phrases & craftsmanship!

Just like the list of my favorite things that I posted months ago, this list could go on and on...


The last bit of Thrive news is that starting now (and until supplies run out) I will be including a free guitar string bracelet with every order. (That includes everything on my Etsy as well as custom items.)

I'll be blogging again soon with more news, and maybe instructions on how to make something! :)

-feel free-
