I'm so excited for this event since it's the perfect audience for my ocean-inspired jewelry.

**UPDATE**

It was surprisingly foggy, but the event was lovely. I decided to participate in the raffle, and I actually won something! I feel like I never win anything in things like this. I got a gift certificate for a tandem kayak rental or a stand up paddle board rental for two hours from Paddle Sports of Santa Barbara. I can't wait to use it! I'll be sure to post some pictures from my little adventure.

A customer appreciation photo - Thanks, M.P.! One of my newest designs that I haven't been able to put on Etsy yet. Pearls, pearls, and more pearls, with a sprinkle of crystals and quartz.

I appreciate all of you who stopped by to visit!

Treasure Hunt

There's something about a treasure hunt that's so addicting...

(maybe that's why my parents keep going back for more!)

I know that I love a treasure hunt... especially when it comes to scoring an amazing deal. My addiction started with shopping at Ross. I've been shopping at Ross for years now. I've found clothes that were still being sold at full-price at Sears or Macy's. I have two beautiful maxi dresses from Ross, both of which were under $25 each and probably from Macy's (i.e.. City Triangles). And I thought those were great finds... until I was introduced to thrift store shopping by the boyfriend. About a month ago I found a brand new (with tags) Mossimo Supply Co. black cocktail dress, a brand new (with tags) black maxi dress (brand affiliated with Target), an American Apparel Le Sac Dress in evergreen/black, and Champion cropped running pants for a total of $21. What a steal, right?!

 ... It just takes a little bit of luck, patience, and sifting through. What unexpected things have you stumbled across lately? (:
