Denver in Photos

I went to Denver for a show last week and it was a really nice trip. It's amazing what you can see and accomplish in 24 hours. Loved getting to stay in a hotel. I always do something to get a 3 star hotel for cheaper like travelocity or hotwire. You could tell it was a business hotel too because the tv had all these free tv views about building networks and so forth. It's amazing what a good job some hotels do of catering to their clients. Their service was top notch, right down to giving me change for my cash till right before the show. Hats off to you Denver Airport Marriott!

While in Denver I did another Shecky's show. It's kind of hard to pack displays for a show out of town. Everything has to fit in my suitcase.



The next day I saw lots of neat things from my rental car.



Ate some really yummy pizza on S. Broadway.



And visited two really cute stores, Decade and Details, who are now carrying my jewelry:

Alchemy in Richmond, Virginia

Alchemy is an eco shop in Richmond Virginia. Amy McFadden, the owner, is a tattoo artist who had some extra retail space. Since she is interested in eco-friendly and socially conscous products she decided to open a shop to carry those type of products. She has gathered a great collection of products that are either made from recycled or organic materials. So, Ornamental Things' jewelry was a perfect fit for her shop. We met this summer when she contacted me through my website. I have enjoyed getting to know Amy and hearing about the development of her store. She has a great enthusiasm socially conscous living and it shows in her collection! She just sent me some pictures of the store.

Sassy Sally's

I am excited to announce that Ornamental Things jewelry is now being carried in this super cute little store called Sassy Sally's in Ventura, California. This place is all about offering super original pieces, encouraging individuality and supporting indie artists. Lindsay Miller, the owner, also carries her own sweet line of clothing that is made from repurposed items so you know I feel a special affinity for what she does. Check out some of her designs:

If you are ever in Ventura I hope you will check it out! Whoa, I just realized that as I write this, that song Ventura Highway (1972 mix - by America) is playing on my itunes. I love that!

New Store: Brooklynsi

I am please to announce that my jewelry is now being carried at Brooklynski in Brooklyn, New York in the Green Point neighborhood. Basia Grocholski, the owner, has put together a super cute little store with lots of lovely things. She is also a graphic designer and you can really tell she has a great visual sense when you see the set up of her store.

So, if you are in New York, please go by and say hi to Basia at Brooklynski! More info coming soon at their website: http://www.brooklynski.com/
