Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day from s dot jewelry! We hope everyone has a fabulous, sparkly day filled with lots of treats, sunshine, and jewelry (preferably s dot jewelry)! 

We had a great time last weekend at our special Mother's Day Pop Up Shop at Crafted/Westside! 

Below are some pictures from the beautiful day that show some of our newest designs:

We had so much fun making these swag bags for our s dot friends at Crafted/Westside! These handmade Mother's Day cards (designed by the s dot team) showcase an awesomely hip mom on the front with "to a true gem!" written inside :) 

We also offered these great non-toxic jewelry wipes that keep your jewels looking freshly polished and like new!

We hope to see you at our next pop up shop and/or trunk show and in the meantime we're sending all you amazing moms out there wishes for relaxation and time with loved ones!

New Georgia Stores

This week we'd like to shine the spotlight on three special Georgia stores that have picked up the s dot jewelry line in the last few months! These stores carry a little bit of everything and are one-stop-shops for all your gifting needs - from hostess gifts to birthday presents to baby shower goodies!

Crafted/Westside

Location: Westside of Atlanta

About: Crafted is a brand new store that's scheduled to open sometime in April and we can't wait! It's different from anywhere else we've sold our line in that it is a collective community of local artists coming together to make a store full of beautiful handmade gifts. We are so thrilled to be included in this talented group of artisans and we will keep you posted as this store gets closer to opening!

Fancy Honey

Location: Danielsville, GA

About: This store is located in a quaint little town less than a half hour outside of Athens and it is the cutest and most unique antique shop we've ever been in! Fancy Honey is actually a small house sectioned into rooms chock full of amazing pieces, many of which have been revamped by owner Bev. They also have a large selection of gifts and local treats, including some delicious honey!

We're so excited and honored to be included in these three fun stores and we look forward to both building relationships with new customers and introducing our existing s dot friends to some special independent businesses right here in Georgia. We hope you pay all three stores a visit this spring!

A Taste of Spring

Before I show you guys some of our fun new spring and summer designs, I want to thank all of our amazing supporters in 2013. 2014 is going to be bigger and better thanks to you! We have some exciting new business ventures coming up, so stay tuned for more details!

                   

Speaking of new beginnings, we have a fabulous new blogger taking over! Brenna is a Boston native living in NYC and is ah-mazing (and I can say that for sure since she is my cousin). She will be starting to post on here next week so be on the lookout for our posts! 

Spring is the perfect time to add some pep to your wardrobe after the winter blues - that's been a big inspiration with these new pieces. What's better than a bold primary color or a dreamy pastel?! 

Round gold filigree with periwinkle jade beads

Gold filled wire teardrops with brushed vermeil beads and gunmetal chain

(experimenting with gunmetal and gold - cool together!)

Tiny pale multicolored agate beads wrapped around gold hoop earrings

Simple gold hoop earrings with teeny tiny gold crosses

Stone drop simple short gold filled necklaces

(left to right: champagne cubic zirconia, hot pink jade, bright yellow jade, black rutilated quartz)

Long gold filled necklace with natural freshwater pearl beads

Short gold filled necklaces with tiny crystal beads and framed stone beads

(top to bottom: pink chalcedony, blue onyx, smoky quartz)

As you can see we're extremely excited about spring and the coming months! This is just a sneak peek of what we've been working on. Head on over to s dot jewelry to see more and to snag some of these designs!

Success at the Garden Market!!!!!

The Garden Market was AMAZING!!!!

We were so busy that we didn't get too much time to take pictures, but here are a few to share with you ladies and gents:

It was an event that started at 9 a.m. and ended at 3:30 p.m. last Saturday. It was held in the recreational center of the Garden Hills neighborhood in Buckhead. It looked like this incredibly huge log cabin...absolutely beautiful! 

The morning was a brisk and beautiful and a TON of people came out, s dot fans included!!

There were even shoppers that arrived before 9 am so they could snag the best deals!!! 

So many other local artists came out selling paintings, handmade soaps, handmade note cards, ornaments, toys and a TON of other fantastic merchandise!  

This is the second year that s dot has been involved with Garden Market and both years we almost SOLD OUT! That's always a good sign!!! :)

Women were racing to get the best bracelet colors, and with the steals we offered that weekend, who could blame them?!

Allison had a special assistant come in from out of town this weekend to bask in all the GM festivities, her cousin Brenna, who visited this great city all the way from Boston!  She was a FANTASTIC sales woman, helping customers and even turning on her southern charm with her fake southern accent! It was great!!!

 LOVED IT!  

Thanks to everyone who hosted the Garden Hills Garden Market! It was such an honor to get to work aside other artist in Atlanta, and it was SO MUCH FUN!!! 

Until next year!

Pick of the Week!

s dot diva here, to bring you my latest pick of the week! 

These I'm particularly excited about, because they are necklaces from the newest fall/winter collection and I think they are just darling. They are dainty, classy and soft, for the simpler days of your life. The muted colors are beautiful for layering with other jewelry, or maybe having a soft "peek" of color to go with your favorite fall scarf! 

These make perfect gifts, and with the holiday season approaching all-to-quickly, this is a great gift under $50 for the lady or ladies in your life! It's a great buy at $30!!!

Be sure to check it out this week on our Etsy online, and if you have any questions, be sure to contact us with questions!

Until next time,
