halloween, hazelhood, and holiday gifts

November 1, 2011

here we have "bella the bunny fairy" and "molly the monkey fairy". (hazel's very into the rainbow fairy magic books, therefore so is june.)

see their little tails?

cutie pies. (that's our house behind them! see the new siding? and the porch? and the window?)

 

with the holidays approaching, a lot of local folks have been asking me about custom family jewelry.  so i decided to go ahead and make a couple of listings again.  there’s a listing for the “custom rustic family necklace” and one for the “custom rustic family bracelet”  in my shop now.  i’m doing it a bit differently; you buy the listing for $25, then we work out the details and i list your piece when it’s finished, kind of like my tailor made jewelry reservation.  here are some examples:

custom rustic family necklace

custom rustic family bracelet

owner/operator/creator of the all new... hazelhood

and, hazel has started a blog!  as i mentioned, she loves taking pictures.  she recently started to really enjoy typing, so i dug out my dusty old dell laptop and set it up for her in her room.  it occurred to me that a blog would be a perfect way for her to embrace both of those activities, as well as start a lovely documentation of her fabulous little life.  she came up with the name “hazelhood”, which i think is very clever.  she takes all of the photos and does all of the typing.  we have agreed to try to do one post a week.  you can see her first one here:  hazelhood.blog.com  i think she would be really psyched if you left a comment!
