Its gives me a chance to stop what I may be doing at the time and take someone else's memories and make them into new unique pieces that they can enjoy. Recently I did just that with a customer who lives in Illinois. She had several of her mother's pieces and wanted me to make three necklaces that were going to be passed onto family members. So I did and I am so pleased with how they turned out. She recently messaged me that she loved them. So of course I am thrilled that she trusted me enough to turn her memories into one of a kind pieces that will make new memories.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">So, these beauties are headed to<a href="http://www.countryliving.com/"> Country Living Ohio</a>!!! And I am so so excited!! They are actually tagging along with <a href="http://www.modernjune.com/">modernjune</a> and I couldn't thank Kelly enough for her kindness in letting my hankie necklaces be apart of her amazing set up. And you heard it right inside the glass are pieces of vintage handkerchiefs. I don't know about y'all but I carry a hankie. It was one of my grandmothers which gives me a sense of nostalgia. Honestly a small love affair with them :) So with that said I found several of them at an estate sale. Some were not in the best condition. But that didn't matter because I took the best parts of them and made them the star attraction in these necklaces. I am so obsessed with making them right now. </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Can you imagine the lady who embroidered this piece of the hankie. So sweet!! I didn't feel bad cutting into it because it was riddled with holes. But no matter because the sweetest piece now has a life as a necklace bound for new journeys. I will be making more of these for<a href="http://www.joyajewelry.etsy.com/"> my etsy shop</a> so stand by and if you are in the Ohio area stop by moderjune's booth to scoop one up.</td></tr>

No tent or fighting the elements. Just a nice fluffy clouds in the sky space. With that said I am not alone in this endeavor <a href="http://jennihorne.blogspot.com/">Jenni </a>and <a href="http://linwoodavenue.blogspot.com/">Tiffin</a> are my partners. Which enabled us to have a bigger space and feed off of all our similar aesthetic. So the booth is located at <a href="http://theboneyardantiques.com/">The Bone Yard on Raymond Hill</a> in Newnan, Ga.<br />
<br />
It is such a lovely place full of very beautiful booths and unique pieces. My jewelry is there, vintage clothing, and happy to say furniture pieces that I have repurposed. The other gals have an array of amazing art, jewelry, lamps, furniture, home goods, etc...... to sum it up yummy warm your heart goodies.;) Plus we will be constantly changing things up and keeping it fresh. <br />

As you probably figured out I took a nice long break from blogging and the computer in general (Natalie wink wink). It was really cathartic and your going to laugh at me but I read a book. A book y'all!! I haven't been able to get through an entire book since the babe was born. A friend of mine and I joke that getting through a magazine is or was the equivalent to reading a book these days :).<br />
<br />
But in all honesty after Revival which was, no lie y'all, 106 degrees that weekend. I needed to recuperate. We all did. It was a good show but boy it was so hot and draining.I do want to thank all the people that came out regardless of the heat. And also a big thanks to all the gals that came to hear me speak at my workshop. You all made it so worth while!! And of course my booth mates <a href="http://linwoodavenue.blogspot.com/">Tiffin</a> and<a href="http://jennihorne.blogspot.com/"> Jenni</a> I wouldn't have wanted to be with any other girls :)<br />
<br />
And after it was all said and done summer became really busy. But more of that soon to come. Here are some pics of Revival. Thanks to my mom in law for taking the photos (I forgot my camera due to heat brain) and I grabbed one from Jenni's blog of all of us. <br />

It is a new show/festival that the city of Atlanta really needed to have. It is something quite special. I am super excited as well as a bit terrified to be speaking at one of six work shops thru out the day. My workshop will be on how to find and wear vintage clothing and jewelry. Not only will I have my jewelry there but an array of vintage clothing, shoes, hats, and purses. So if you are in the Atlanta area this weekend come by and say hi!!<br />

And a couple weekends ago we thought lets take a little road trip so we packed a lunch and headed south. K used to go as a child and so did I. We have so many fun memories of Callaway and we want our little guy to make his own memories now.<br />
So there are a ton of things to do. Trails to hike, camping, and a great lake with a sandy beach. But my most favorite is the Butterfly House. It is a giant glass green house with the most beautiful flowers and butterflies. They fly around you and if you are lucky they will sometimes land on you. Which is the bees knees. I snapped a ton of pictures of our day and I have some to share so hope you enjoy them. xo<br />

I have a ton of my mother or grandmothers jewelry and I don't know what to do with it. Can you make me a custom piece?" And you will always hear me say YES!! of course I love doing custom pieces. One because it gives me a challenge and two because that piece means so much more to my customer. It is personal, meaningful, and nostalgic. And I love to see their faces when I have created something that they can wear and enjoy.<br />
<br />
I just recently did a big custom order for a client whose grandmother past away. She was an avid sewer and collected an array of thread. She was 97 years old when she past and left quite a legacy I was told. So I was really excited to take on this challenge. I was given 11 spools of thread in several different colors and a bag of her favorite buttons. I was so excited to get to create something special and unique for all the women in her family. The necklaces were going to her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Each necklace consisted of one spool of thread, a button, and a vintage key. I think they turned out fantastic and when my customer came to pick them up she was so excited with how they turned out. Which in turn made me super happy that she was happy :). It meant a lot to me to be able to create such personal pieces for her and all of her family members. <br />

I was perplexed because we have a tiny front entry and I was like, where the heck could this little bird be nesting. Well, upon some inspection of our vintage watering can I spied five tiny white speckled eggs. And then I quietly squealed because we are going to have babies soon. :) Mamma bird was so kind to let me snap some pictures. I honestly think she likes us. I say that because she rarely flies out of her nest when we walk out the door now. And when we look inside at the nest to check on her and the eggs she doesn't leave. So I think she is happy in her lovely little nest and soon I hope we will have chirping little babies.<br />

I think it took me a week to recover :) It was a lot of fun but it was a lot of work too. We had a great crowd on Saturday and I thank each and everyone of y'all who came out and took a piece of joyajewelry home with you. Sunday, well let's just say it was really great that I had my pal <a href="http://jennihorne.blogspot.com/">jenni</a> next to me, a wine bar behind my booth supplying us with a bit a vino through out the day, and great weather because it was slow, slow, slow. It really baffled us all but that is the way festivals are sometimes. But no worries, if I have one satisfied and elated customer that truly loves my stuff it makes me happy. I did a custom piece for a gal on Saturday and she came by Sunday to tell me about all the compliments she got that night when she went out with friends. To see her face light up with jewelry love made my weekend and it reminds me why it is I do what I do. Though with that said I may be taking a bit of a break from Festivals. I will always do my local Shakerag Fest but trying to juggle family aka a 2 year old and doing festivals is really a challenge. I need to give etsy more love, be in more stores, and do some more home parties like I used to. We shall see, but thanks to you all for coming on this journey with me it means the world to me. xoxo<br />

Wren turned two so of course I was one crazy momma planning his birthday party. And at the same time, I have been frantically getting ready for the<a href="http://www.splashfestivals.com/"> Acworth Festival</a>. Balance was the word for the month of March I tell ya. <br />
We threw Wren an airplane themed birthday. We are so very fortunate that my dad is a member of the <a href="http://www.dixiewing.org/">Commemorative Air Force/Dixie Wing</a> so we were able to set up right there at the airport. It was so fantastic and memorable. And the kiddos had a great time looking at all the W.W. II aircraft. I am still in aww that he is two. He changes everyday and takes my breath away always. <br />
When I wasn't planning a birthday I was trying to make as much jewelry as possible. I am so very excited to be apart of this festival. I haven't done one in a while and I just can't wait to set up my displays, show off my newest pieces, and meet/greet all the vendors and customers! I look forward to the chitter chatter of everyone setting up their booths in the morning. A whirlwind of fun and a lot of work but I love it! Plus I am so excited that I am next to my super talented friend <a href="http://www.jennihorne.blogspot.com/">Jenni Horne</a>. Wish me luck and I will post some festival pics in a couple of weeks but in the mean time, here are some party photos and new jewelry that will be at the show.<br />

I am so excited because it enables me to sell other items, I am obsessed with, besides my jewelry. Don't worry my jewelry will be there ;) but I will be able to sell my other love, VINTAGE CLOTHING! <br />
I have to admit I have been hoarding vintage clothes for a while now and I cannot wait to share them with all of you. They need to go to new homes and to be enjoyed. We will have so many other fabulous items for sale as well. It is going to be so much fun. The arrival of Spring gets me so fired up for the up-coming festival season. I will post pictures of new jewelry soon. I have been working on some really great pieces that I promise to share with y'all in the next post. And then, fingers crossed an update on etsy. Happy Tuesday! <br />

Especially this close to St. Valentine's Day. I glance over at a tree, during my walk, and it makes me smile. Cleaning pine straw out of my bird bath reflects the warm sun toward my heart. These are the little signs in life that make you stop, take a breath, and swoon inside knowing that you are loved. Not just by my husband, but by my son, my family, my friends, and even by the kindness I show myself. So from me to you I wish you all the loveliest of Valentine's Day!!<br />

It might be this crazy warm weather we are experiencing here in Georgia. So with Spring in the air, I guess I have Easter or Easter eggs on the brain :) Oh, and have I mentioned how addicted I am to crocheting on chain. So addicted! With pastel thread of course! Feeling inspired is a great thing! No matter how small and or kookie the inspiration may be. So below you can see all the lovely eye candy. I have my palette for my new collection and I can't wait to get started. The orange strand is an exception but still isn't it purdy:)<br />

They are such refreshing feelings. Like anything is possible and new again. This is where kindness of spirit takes flight and all is calm in my mind and heart. As if to let myself know that what was not accomplished last year can absolutely be pursued in this new year. Renewal!<br />
<br />
So, while shopping at my local thrift store, I found this bag. But at closer look it turned out to be a little more than a bag. As I was inspecting it, to see if it would fit my laptop, I found an envelope, but not an ordinary envelope. I slipped it out and noticed it had some writing on it. I began to read what was written on it. I was frozen! It was meant for me to find. "Serendipity". On July 15, 2006 she wrote, "maintain positive spirit, joyful, reverent, balanced - healthy faith"! I couldn't believe it. She wrote more through scribbles and clarity. Isn't that what complete and honest thought is all about. So whoever she was I thank her for leaving this list for me to find. I am a true believer that things happen for a reason and I am proud to be the one to take these words and add them to this year's way of living. I also wanted to thank each and everyone of y'all for reading my blog these past years and I wish y'all a happy and healthy new year! xoxo joyann<br />

It is the most wonderful, yet hectic, time of year. In a span of a couple of days I attended our annual DIY ornament exchange and was part of an amazing handmade holiday open house.<br />
Getting up to that point was a lot of preparation but heaps of fun to be a part of. <a href="http://linwoodavenue.blogspot.com/">Tiffin</a> hosts the ornament exchange every year and this year she just made her home a wonderland. A wonderland of crepe paper and vintage baubles. Each one of us had our own personal ornament boxes to put our creations in. I couldn't wait to see what everyone came up with this year. It really truly amazes me. Even those who say they are not creative end up making the best ornaments. This year mine were a decoupage of pages from Jane Austen's<em> Pride and Prejudice</em> and glittered to the hilt :)<br />
<br />
A jump to a couple days later, <a href="http://jennihorne.blogspot.com/">Jenni</a>, <a href="http://linwoodavenue.blogspot.com/">Tiffin</a>, and I got together at Jenni's home and hosted a handmade holiday open house. It was so much fun. And we turned Jenni's already amazing house into a boutique. All of her beautiful paintings, jewelry, and wonderment that she does paired with Tiffin's amazing hand drawn botanicals, re-purposed vintage lamps and sweet, sweet embroideries. I couldn't have been happier to be among them. It was a nice success and I think we may do something else this spring. <br />
Merry Christmas Everyone!! I hope your holiday is a very blessed one.<br />

I am a cheese ball and always tell the ornaments I missed them. Which is what I used to do as a kid. Instead of my sister laughing at me my husband does that now. :) I can't help it I always get so super nostalgic around this time. And this year Wren really understands what is going on.

Lately our weekends have been full of playing in the leaves and scouting out as many acorns as possible. Wren is at an amazing age right now where everything is so wonderous and extraordianary. It is so much fun seeing everything through his eyes. My cup runneth over and I give thanks for my family everyday. I hope all of you have a wonderous and extraordinary Thanksgiving. xoxo</div>

I have been holding on to a box of silver clay for about four years now. I had no idea what to do with it and all the goodies that came with it. So, it just sat in my crafting closet. After a funny talk with my friend Elizabeth about how long I have had it she and I were hoping it wasn't dust. She is a super talented jewelry designer and was ready to show me how to use it. She works with silver and has experience with the clay and the crazy torch that you have to use to fire it once it is dried. Wowsa! No idea that it would be so addicting once I finished my pieces. I know it has been around for forever but I was just too busy with all the other ideas swirling in my head to play around with it.:) Plus for those of you who know me I am so impatient with directions. I am a visiual gal. So, 20g made these four pendants below. The large piece is the Jane Austen pendant I made out of a stamp that I bought at her home in Chawton a couple of years ago. I can't wait to bead and chain it. I put the other three together on one chain and absolutely love it. Now I have to buy some more silver clay and keep practicing. But to be honest with ya'll the torch to fire the clay freaks me out just a tiny bit. Will work on not burning down the house. :) </div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The little guy who just turned 19 months is all about this holiday. He loves pointing out every pumpkin he sees and he calls them pumpkits. He also calls Halloween, EEEN :) So sweet! This year I made his costume as opposed to last year, because was so little still. But this year he made it very clear that he wanted to be Buzz Lightyear. So Buzz it is. I loved making his costume and we were lucky enough to find little inflatable wings for him to wear with it. I will post a pic after Halloween. We just can't wait to got trick or treating with him. This is such a great age. He is soaking everything in and it makes this time so magical!! Happy Halloween ya'll! </td></tr>

One of the fondest memories I have of my grandmother is that she always carried the most beautiful handkerchiefs. I also remember getting my first hankie when I was about six. It was a hello kitty one and I still have it to this day. I still carry one to this day, thanks Grandma :)<br />
The love I have of these tiny pieces of fabric has made me go a bit crazy and I am buying them all up at the estate sales I obsessively go to. They are too beautiful to wither away with rips and holes that I encased them in glass. Of course I had to make jewelry out of them. I am so in love with making each piece that I just can't stop. They are so sweet and lovely. And quite nostalgic! These lovelies will be in my <a href="http://www.joyajewelry.etsy.com/">etsy</a> shop soon. ;)JoyaJewelryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12634786340882178063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674673810678679302.post-24592148008769049822011-10-04T13:57:00.000-04:002011-10-04T13:59:15.337-04:00Home Sweet FestivalI always love when Shakerag Arts and Crafts Festival comes around. The first festival of the season that gives me the warm and fuzzies! It welcomes Fall and it is my favorite hometown show to do. I usually set up the Friday before and love listening to the chatter of all the other vendors reintroducing themselves to their booth neighbors. Honestly, the general buzz of everyone setting up makes me feel super charged up. This year the weather was AMAZING!! We were super lucky and I believe the climate had something to do with the huge crowds. I was completely humbled by all the joyajewelry love and want to thank all the cutie pie girls who came by and said hi or bought a goody or two. Thanks gals for your support!!!! <br />
