Happy one month anniversary Megan and Phil!


A month after my daughter was born my sister got married to her longtime love, Phil, at the Santa Barbara Zoo. Megan has always been super crafty and designed everything from the vintage style Barnum & Baily invitations, to the sculptural flower arrangements, to the matching labels that went on the jam jars in each gift bag (which also included animal crackers). It was truly magical. Anyway, happy one month anniversary Megan and Phil!

The big moment!

She's here -- and I'm back!



Introducing the newest member of our little growing family -- Lucia Louise! Welcome to the world little Lulu! Doesn't she look jaunty in her little mini skirt and beret. I plan on dressing her up like a little Christmas elf for as long as she'll let me. Hoping hair will come in soon so she'll look less like Winston Churchill.

So after a long absence from my jewelry line I'm back working feverishly to catch up a little. It was a tough pregnancy and after a few stress related incidents, I decided I need to take it easy. And as I couldn't drop my 3-year-old or real job, I had to take a break from Noaki Jewelry.

Anyway I've had this creative burst and posted maybe 50 pieces or more in the last couple of weeks with more to come.

Thanks for your patience!

The fabulous Ecostiletto


Noaki Jewelry's homepage and a lovely write-up of my combs is featured on Ecostiletto under this week's "Fashion" posting!

If you haven't heard of it Ecostiletto is an absolutely fantastic website for ladies who like to stay fashionable and green. And, best of all, you can sign up and receive weekly musings and advice on beauty, health, home, kids, etc...

Here's what they had to say:


Be sure and visit the site and check out my discount offer!

It's been a loooong time.....

Ok. So I don't even know where to begin -- it's been sooo long since I last posted anything. I do, however, have a good excuse. I'm pregnant! With a girl! The first trimester was tough. In between bouts of morning sickness I got pretty sick and was basically told that I really need to cut back on my activities and relax for the baby. It really didn't take much convincing, I was so exhausted. So I put down my jewelry tools for a time to completely recover. That said, I'm finally back to my old self and have been posting a bunch of a new pieces to my etsy site and website!

Here's a little peek:






Anyway, thanks so much to those of you who were so patient and understanding with me when I couldn't accept any custom orders.

Wedding Site



So my sister has picked a site. She and her fiance wanted to go for something fun and unexpected, so after visiting countless places decided to get married at the Santa Barbara zoo! I'm already envisioning plenty of wedding jewelry for the brides and her bridesmaids in animal motifs. I've already found a stunning Deco era rhinestone encrusted peacock. Can't wait to share the pieces as they come along!
