NEW Product Announcement - "Vin Amant Bijoux"




Sherman Street Design now offering intricate hand painted winecork pendants.  Featuring rhodium plated rhinestones, Swarovski crystals and amethyst shimmer.  

 Be the first to wear one to your next wine theme event, you’ll be the envoy of all.



For this collection “Vin amant bijoux” I transform upcycled wine corks into unique and lightweight statement pieces, for the wine aficionado (aka wine snob) on your list.   Each pendant takes hours to create, starting with a sealant, I then hand cut each cork to inlay with rhodium plated rhinestones. Next I hand paint my signature Ann’s hummingbird onto the front of each cork and embellished with rose Swarovski crystals, color shimmer, diamond cut silver ball chain and fabric.  The pendant is then sandwiched between industrial hardware, painted disks and petal shaped iridescent crystals. Dangling from the bottom are genuine Czech glass beads.

Each intricate pendant is hung from a 30” silver tone chain with a toggle clasp.  “Vin amant bijoux” looks great for both casual and formal events.   Wear it to your next wine-themed event,  guaranteed to attract lots of attention and compliments!

Pendant Features:

·        rhodium plated rhinestones
·         Swarovski crystals
·         silver dot and hemp fabric embellishments
·         amethyst shimmer
·         Czech glass beads

Friendship- Lessons I Learned From My Mom and My BFF's

True friends are never apart maybe in distance but never in the heart!

I remember a school day when I was 5 years old, this girl and I played together nearly EVERY recess.  In my heart I knew she was my best friend forever.  I talked about her every day, I came home excited to tell my parents what we talked about, what we did on the playground that day and our dreams for the future.  This particular day I didn't find her till recess was over.  As we were lining up I over heard her telling some other girl that SHE was HER best friend!!  WHAT??  I was devastated!

"Rather than focusing on labeling a friendship, live it day by day, by being a good friend."

Words of wisdom from my mom.  Words that stuck with me (maybe cause she repeated them many times over the next few years).  I realized I didn't need a single person to call my BFF, I just needed to be a good friend and a lasting friendship would automatically develop.

I am grateful for this lesson my mom taught me at such an early age, after all I have some of the best besties a girl could ever want!

The other day I was thinking about my best friends, how some I grew up with, some are new, and some I've recently met but they live far away.  Then I realized collectively they each contributed a piece that taught me a very important lesson, to......

Love wholeheartedly 

The most important thing I learned from them is to always love wholeheartedly.  To be a good person even when it is easier not to be.  To be strong enough to be kind in the face of cruelty.  To be understanding when people make mistakes and then to be brave enough to forgive them or ask for forgiveness.  Love is the most powerful weapon we possess; always use it to its full potential.

Thank You!!

Coffee, PJ's and Sharp Pencils - Things We Love


 

 **UPDATE - we will be updating this blog once a month **

This week everyone has been enjoying our beautiful weather, birds singing, and our creative atmosphere here at Sherman Street Design.  Here is our list:

 Extra Sleep, Finding Money and Children Laughing

Who doesn't enjoy a few extra sleep moments! When you work hard all day and get up early in the morning, it takes it's toll on you.  We decided to hit the sack 30 minutes early this week and oh my goodness it really feels good and helps with that positive attitude.  Kyle found a dollar in a jacket pocket - our weather gets a little crazy, he needed a light jacket and wholah, a dollar.  That always make me smile.  We have the privilege of my youngest daughter and her family staying with us for a couple months - I sooo enjoy the sound of children's laughter.

Ok all you music fans out there, this is for YOU.  The Tacoma Guitar Festival is on May 14th/15th.  The festival will feature over 150 exhibit booths and live performances music.  Come to buy, trade or sell!!

Thanks everyone.  Join us next month on the first Thursday for more Coffee, PJ's & Sharp Pencils
