Love this pillow from Dwell Studio. The neutral colors are not the usual peacock fashion, but the unexpected, muted version makes a beautiful pillow.
Sundance Harvest Market is over for this year, but we have to say it is worth putting on your calendar for next. It was so much fun. I especially enjoyed the free demo and taste of freshly made pasta with a marinara made on the spot of locally grown tomatoes seasoned with fresh garlic and basil...so delicious! And then, there were the artisans with booths including pottery, jewelry, photography, handmade bags, blankets, soaps, foods, etc...all topped off with a ride up the mountain on the ski lift. The best part, though, was meeting the people who visited our booth. Thanks for coming and hope to see you next year!
Come see us at the Sundance Harvest Market! We must go where our hearts lead, so...we are working on some top secret new ideas...hint (home decor) along with some new jewelry designs with a Sundance flair.

This little robin is adorable. One of our favorite new charms!
We have added a few new temples to our line including Los Angeles.
Who would we be if we did not have a peacock charm?!
"Carol Schneider, a New York public-relations agent for a large book publisher, crafts scarves, children's wear and purses in her spare time. She hit upon this nifty T-shirt scarf while cruising the Internet, and made it her own by using whimsical, color-loaded Ts. Samples of her "Reclaimed Tee Scarves" may be viewed online at Carol Schneider Designs.
Her scarves for adults measure at least 56 inches long. Since Schneider scavenges thrift stores for her T-shirts, no two scarves are alike.
You can make Schneider's scarves on the cheap: Your own castoffs and the kids' outgrown T-shirts will do, ensuring endless possibilities in color and pattern combinations.
Schneider suggests combining T-shirt swatches by theme: sports, food, music, the arts or cartoon characters.
She sells her children's scarves with jumbo safety (or diaper) pins so they can be attached to the backs of children's jackets; you don't want these clever scarves to get lost."
• For children's scarf (approximately 48 inches long): four used T-shirts of complementary colors, at least two with a fun design or logo
• For adult's scarf (approximately 56 inches long): four to five T-shirts, depending upon the desired scarf length. Since more of the scarf is visible on adults, it's nice to use at least four scarves that have designs or logos.
• Scissors
• Thread in coordinating color
• Sewing machine
• Steam iron
1. Front of scarf: For children's scarf, cut 7-inch-wide squares from four T-shirts to make a total length of 49 inches. For adult scarf, cut 8-inch-wide squares from four or five T-shirts to make a total length of 55 inches to 70 inches, depending upon desired length of finished scarf.
2. Back of scarf: For children's and adult scarves, cut four or five solid-colored squares of the same width from the backs of the T-shirts to make a total length matching the front.
3. For the front, pin each set of squares together in desired order and sew them together, one by one, using a 1/4-inch seam. Press. Do the same with the scarf's back squares.
4. With right sides together, pin and sew two 3/8-inch seams along the scarf's long sides, leaving the ends free. Turn right side out and press.
5. Trim ends to the same length, if necessary. Sew a zigzag stitch 1 1/2 inches to 2 inches from the bottom of each end. Cut fringe up to stitching line (without cutting the stitches).
