Hey Sparkle Squad! 💖✨
It’s a brand new month and I am so ready to sprinkle a little extra sparkle all over July. If you’re new around here, “New-Make Monday” is where I pop in and share what I’m working on behind the scenes—what I’m making, what I’m testing, and what I’m excited to bring to my table (and to the shop) next.
And if you’ve been here a while… you already know I’m a one-woman sparkle factory over here. That means what I’m making this week is always a mix of:
· What’s inspiring me right now
· What’s been popular lately
· What you’ve been asking for
· What I can realistically create with two hands, a big heart, and a whole lot of love
So let’s do a little July preview together.
What I’m making right now (aka: what’s on my work table)
Here are a few “categories” I’m focusing on this week. (If you want me to turn this into a specific piece for you, scroll down to the custom request section!)
1) Stretch bracelets that feel good all day
I’m always testing bead combos that look cute and wear comfortably. This week I’m focusing on:
· Smooth, skin-friendly beads (no scratchy edges)
· Mix-and-match stacks (so you can build a set over time)
· “One statement bead” designs (simple but not boring)
If you’ve ever bought a bracelet that pinched, rolled, or felt too tight—friend, I’m with you. Comfort matters.
2) “Pop of pink” pieces
Because… obviously. 💗
I’m pulling together designs that have that signature Pink tiful of LOVE vibe:
· Bright happy accents
· A little shimmer
· A little playful personality
If you love pieces that make you smile when you look down at your wrist, you’re going to love what’s coming.
3) Giftable goodies
July is full of birthdays, “just because” moments, and little celebrations. I’m working on pieces that are easy to gift:
· Simple bracelets that fit lots of styles
· Pieces that feel meaningful without being too “matchy”
· Options that look great in my packaging (because presentation is part of the love)
If you’re shopping for a friend, a sister, a coworker, or a “she deserves something sweet” person—tell me their vibe and I’ll help.
What I’m bringing to the market (and what you can shop online)
If you’re coming to see me at Crafter’s Market at Station Square (Saturdays 11–3), here’s what you can expect to see on my table this month:
· Fresh bracelet stacks
· A mix of one-of-a-kind pieces (because I love making “only one” designs)
· Some fun seasonal colors
· A few surprise “limited” pieces that may not hit the website right away
And if you can’t make it in person? You can still shop with me:
· On my website
· Through a quick message if you want help choosing
· By requesting a custom piece (my favorite)
Custom requests: how to get a piece made just for you
Custom orders are always welcome here. Always. 💖
If you want something made for your style, here’s the easiest way to request it:
Step 1: Tell me your wrist size
If you know it, send it. If you don’t, tell me:
· Small / Medium / Large (and I’ll guide you)
· Or measure with a string and a ruler (super easy)
Step 2: Tell me your vibe
Pick one (or mix them):
· Soft + sweet
· Bold + bright
· Neutral + classy
· Girly + glam
· Earthy + cozy
· “I want PINK but make it grown-up”
Step 3: Tell me your colors
You can say:
· “Pink + purple”
· “Anything but yellow”
· “My favorite color is teal”
· “Surprise me” (yes, that’s allowed)
Step 4: Any meaning you want included?
Some people love:
· Birthstone colors
· A charm that represents something
· A color that reminds them of a person
· A “confidence bracelet” they wear on hard days
I love making pieces that feel like a little wearable reminder.
What’s coming later in July (sneak peek)
I’m also planning a few fun content moments this month:
· A quick bracelet sizing reminder (because comfort is queen)
· A “style it 3 ways” post (so you can get more wear out of one piece)
· A Sparkle Squad shoutout (because your reviews make my whole week)
If there’s something you want to see on the blog this month—drop me a note. I’m building this with you.
Quick question for you (help me pick!)
If you could choose ONE for me to focus on next, what would it be?
1. More bracelet stacks
2. More simple everyday pieces
3. More bold statement designs
4. More gift-ready items
Reply and tell me your number (or your own idea). I’m listening.
