Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

I have a confession to make…

I have been busy.

Shocking, I know. And while I know that this is no excuse, I felt the need to be honest to loyal customer base and readers (are you still out there???). Everyone experiences busy times and life changes and for that, I ask your forgiveness. However, I do have some good news…

My family and I (which now consists of a very patient and understanding boyfriend, Alec; two kitties, Roxy and Zooey; and the newest addition to our clan: a three month old, endless ball of fluff and energy, Sawyer the Border Collie) just moved into a cozy little place in Crozet, Virginia. We both still work in Charlottesville, but the change from the busy college town streets to the relaxing drive home to the country has been a welcome one. And my favorite part: I now have an official studio!!!

What a difference a space can make! Especially when it is a space of your own! My new space has inspired me to finally get this ball moving again!

In the coming weeks you can expect to see:

pictures of my new studio

a new look for the blog (already in progress, you might have noticed)

some new products in the shop

an official website re-do

and possibly even a Savannah Renée catalogue!

Thank you so much for hanging in there. After all, without you this venture would be impossible (and lonely)! Please check back soon to see these changes in action!!!

And the exciting month of June continues!

Isabelle

Yesterday morning I added another brand new item to the Savannah Renée shop on Etsy! Arguably the most extravagant piece in the shop to date, Isabelle is an extremely long, couture style necklace featuring a variety of glass pearls and crystals. Here she is:

For more information on Isabelle, to see more photos, or to purchase simply click on a photo or click here to be taken to this item’s page in the Savannah Renée shop!

For now I am off to the beads and wire, then some Father’s Day BBQ! Yum…

Have a great day and Happy Shopping!

Featured Items from My Favorites Page!

I Just Couldn’t Wait…

So this morning I said to check back soon for a special feature post! Well, I was looking around on my Favorites page and decided I just couldn’t wait! My Favorites page on Etsy is full of great items and sellers and there were a few (or more) that I am excited to share with you!

First off, you have to check out the awesome rings from Brilynn! Brilynn is a husband and wife team – Brian and Lynn – that sells jewelry made with intricate glass beads. The beauty of these pieces just blows me away! Perhaps even more impressive is that Lynn makes these incredible glass beads herself, melting glass into flowers with a torch! This lovely pink and yellow ring is my personal favorite:

Now, you may think I am slightly bias since Susan, the creative genius behind OhHiLucy, is my mother… but there is no denying that the critters in her shop are a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e! In this shop you can find cute little stuffies, intricately needle felted creations, bright birdy pins, and my favorite… awesome, bamboo stuffed, ecofelt keychains! This cute little owl is my (current) favorite!

Speaking of needle felted awesomeness… if you love llamas, you are going to adore tcllamas on Etsy! Donna of Twin Creek Llamas creates a variety of unique llama jewelry as well as some great needle felted llamas made with wool from her own llamas!!! How cool is that?! I really have nothing else to say about this great shop, as Lenny the Lazy Llama really speaks for himself:

I am a bit of a purse addict and when I found the Davie and Chiyo Etsy shop, I fell in love! If you are looking for a beautiful summer clutch to ad to your wardrobe, this is the place to come. The creators of this fabulous shop, Himi and Fumi, use elegant, often one-of-a-kind fabrics to produce some of the most beautiful purses I have ever seen. I have already favorited quite a few of these creations, but this one with a gorgeaous coral bow really stands out!

Well, I hope you enjoy looking through these wonderful Etsy shops! Maybe you’ll find something you just have to have! I have so many favorites, you’ll probably be seeing more of them on here soon! Until then, happy shopping!

Love,

Savannah Renée

Blog Features!!!

Yesterday the Savannah Renée shop was featured on the blog Our Creative World! This great blog features a different artist every day, giving each artist to share a little something about themselves, their craft, their shops, websites, etc. Great idea, right?! I was thrilled about a month ago when Tonie from Our Creative World and the Etsy shop SacredOak emailed me and asked me if I would like to be featured! So, I wrote up a short little article about the Savannah Renée Etsy shop and how I got started, and Tonie sent me back the date for my feature! You can read my June 17th feature here!

While I am on the subject, I just want to say that blog features are absolutely wonderful! They can increase traffic to your site, inform people about your work, and best of all, they often give readers a chance to see how other people feel about your art!

Here are a few other wonderful blogs that Savannah Renée has been featured on recently!

My newest bracelet, Peridona, was featured on a neat blog called The Etsian.  The blog’s author, Kristina from KTPaperCrafts, sent me a message to let me know about the feature and it just brightened my day! You can read the Peridona feature here!

Jessica from J.C. Jewelry has a great WordPress blog titled Great Jewelry and the Finer Things where she rights about “J.C. Jewelry, fashion, cooking, and all the things that make life worth living!” Jessica was kind enough to feature the Splendor earrings in a post titled “What Kind Of Earrings Look Best With My Face Shape?” This post is awesome, informative, and features a variety of great Etsians.

Evelyn was also recently featured in a blog by Karen of MysticWynd. Her blog, also titled Mystic Wynd, featured Evelyn in a great post about necklace length. You can find the post here!

Hope you enjoy reading through these great blogs! I will be doing my own feature soon, similar to the one I posted back in March. I will be going through my Favorites list once again and posting a few selections here!

I’m off to work on a few new pieces for now!

As always, happy shopping!

Love,

Other Recent Work

A Couple Custom Pieces

The other things I have been working on recently are custom pieces. I recently completed another custom eyeglass chain which will go up today as my first Savannah Renée Etsy shop custom listing! Here is a preview of the item!

Another project I completed recently was actually one for myself! You know, I have to keep something every once in awhile! Actually, this item I made for myself as a sort-of test item. There isn’t anything like this in the Savannah Renée Etsy shop yet, but there should be soon! Introducing my first cocktail ring!

This ring is extra large and extra shiny! Made with an adjustable silver plated ring base and 6mm Swarovski Crystals. I will be keeping this particular ring for myself, but you should expect to see rings in this same style in my shop soon!

Comments, as always, are more than welcome!

Happy Shopping!

Savannah Renée

An Update

Hey… I Know You!

Hello Everyone! I know I have disappeared for some time, but in a way, that is a good thing! I have been ever so busy making new items, watching style trends, and working on custom orders. It has been a busy couple of weeks!

So what has come out of all of this time I have been away? Well here are some of the new items I have recently added to the Savannah Renée Etsy shop. Simply click on the picture of each item to view full details, additional photographs, and purchase information.

       Along with these exciting new additions to the store, there are a few other items waiting there for your attention! View the entire Savannah Renée collection here! Now, a few notes about the items listed above. First of all, you may notice some new bracelets in the same style as the original Envy bracelet! Due to their growing popularity, I am continuing to make these dazzling charm bracelets. To view all available charm bracelets, follow this link!

Also, I have created an exciting new section in my shop! Anklets! And just in time for summer, too. My favorite is Summer Lady, shown above. The anklet features a selection of glass leaves, Peridot Swarovski Crystals, and one tiny little red ladybug! I think she is just darling! The other anklets shown above are Sea Breeze (in blue) and Serene Sands (in pink). You can view the entire anklet section of my shop here! More anklets will be coming soon, and perhaps even a post all about anklets!

Other items you will find above are Isla, inspired by the necklace Story and the bracelet Madison’s Net, and Rule Number 76 earrings in pink after the original earrings in blue. And for a completely new look to the store, see Calypso –a one of a kind necklace with a lot of personality!

As far as the style trends I have been watching recently, I am especially intrigued by the amount of bows making there way into couture jewelry and onto the red carpet. Check back soon for an examination of this trend here on the blog and keep an eye on my store for some more bows. 

In other news, I’m considering a move to Virginia… or perhaps Seattle? Maybe NYC? Or maybe I’ll soon be shipping orders out from Edinburgh! We’ll see! Still looking for my very own Shiba Inu as well, and I can’t wait to meet her and bring her home!

Check back soon, and until then… Happy Shopping!

Love,

Savannah Renée
