...ZZ Top <3's Michelle Rose!

WOW! It felt like I'd hit the jackpot when Billy Gibbons of the legendary band ZZ Top stepped into my booth last weekend at UNIQUE OC to buy some of my silk bows! He purchased two Cravats and two Bow Ties... I even got to touch his beard when he asked me which color he should get! (You see, I just *had* to move it aside to see how they would look on his collar, haha!) He was so nice and gave me an autographed photo as well! Thanks BIlly, for making my year! Yeah, Rock 'n' Roll!


New Items

New Acrylic Jewelry & All Colors Listed!

I now have stock in most colors of all my acrylic jewelry designs... There are also a few new pieces you may not have seen yet, such as the Striped Bow Necklace, Xylophone Earrings, and Small Flower Rings. Keep in mind that I may not have your desired color available right away, so if you're itching to get it fast, send me an etsy message or e-mail first.

Inlaid Mosaic Jewelry

I found these really groovy geometric inlaid cabochons made with semiprecious stones and shells... check them out in cufflinks, stud earrings, and rings! My favorite is definitely the Japanese Blue Sunrise set. Hmm... maybe I should also make these into hair clips?

Other Musings & Announcements

Music is Orange

Some of you enjoyed my addition of a song recommendation in the last issue of the Gazette, so here's a little treat for you; the tune I'm currently obsessed with - in two versions. Originally performed in French by Greek singer Vicky Leandros, the song placed only 4th in the 1967 Eurovision Song Contest but has since been covered by dozens of artists. This fantastic melody has been in my head for days and I love the variations of style in these renditions...
