I have been terrible with keeping up to date with my blog! I've been so busy making tonnes of jewelry for
Butchart Gardens and getting ready for the
Sidney Summer Market that will be throughout the entire summer. Right now I am in the process of creating lots of new Bronze pieces, some with Patina some without, and colorful gemstones! To the right are some Bronze metal earrings and Fine Silver earrings that I created that are featured at Butchart Gardens and will be at the Sidney Market (and hopefully all online at some point too! - the bottom right
Aztec Bohemian Half Moon Earrings are in my Etsy shop). www.AlashaLantinga.Etsy.com
** The bronze earrings are embellished with
Turquoise Gemstones,
Chalcedony and
Blue CZs. **
** The Fine Silver Earrings are embellished with
Amethyst Gemstones,
Red Garnet, and
Purple - Lilac CZs. **
You may have noticed my
shop name has changed from Saffire Jewelry to simply my name -
Alasha Lantinga. I was never fully happy with Saffire Jewelry so that's why I decided to change it.
•• It's the twelfth year of the Sidney Summer Market in Sidney BC! It runs every Thursday evening from 5:30 to 8:30 and thousands of people visit it each week! Over 200 vendors, including entertainment on each block, line the main street, Beacon Avenue. I would love to see you there! (I won't be at the first one, but the second one and the rest).
