Build a Line Challenge from B’sue Boutiques, Lori Meyer from Parisienne Girl, Part Two

Inspiration!!  …and some perspiration ☺  That’s what the past few weeks have been all about as I’ve continued to develop my new line of jewelry as part of our virtual Master Class sponsored by B’sue Boutiques.

…recent worktable tableaux ♥

I’m always inspired by strong women of exceptional talent.  Case in point: Adele.  That woman can belt a tune like no one’s business and share a heart-rending message all at the same time.  I love this music video ~ shot at my fave location, Pont Alexandre in Paris.  The message is pretty fab, too:

Times they are a-changing.  Women today are not waiting for someone else to create our Happiness.  We know what we like… what is special to us… and we won’t wait around for someone to buy us the perfect diamond ring.  Hey… if that happens… Great!  Until then, we are embracing the opportunity to celebrate ourselves.

…here I am taking a break & celebrating sunshine in February!!

…and who knows us better?  The jewelry we buy ourselves should reflect our personal special moments, special places, special people.

Purchased ourselves.  To celebrate us ♥

That’s what Touchstones & Treasured Tokens are all about.  A celebration of all that is You!  What moves you, inspires you, expresses your authentic self.

• Courage
• Wisdom

• Religious & Spiritual Tokens
• Guardian Angels

• Lucky Charms

• Adventure & Travel Memories

…and so much more.

Inspired by strong, self-assured, fashion-forward women throughout history… women who knew that jewelry is an outward expression of our identity.  It’s powerful.. a Talisman… a bit of armor with the magic to disarm.

Queen Nefertiti

Cleopatra

Coco Chanel

Suzanne Belperron
