💜 I kept a pair of these for myself, and it feels perfectly right that they wanted to wait until it was a bit more summery.

☀️ They drink the sunshine and brush bare shoulders, perfect for long summer days.

🌸 Keep an eye out for more of these and one other amethyst earring design! I couldn't finish them in time for the amethyst release, but they are finished now and begging to be plucked. As soon as we are settled, I promise!

🌿 The shop is officially shuttered and the sign on the door reads "Back in 5" while we move house.

🌲 Three days from now we will be tucked in a cabin up north, and I will be dreaming up new designs for you.

💌 All orders placed during the sale will ship over the next day or two. Thank you, my sweet friends, for keeping food in my kitties bowls and the lights on here at Moonspinner Headquarters. You are just the peachiest!

💫 Perhaps my very favorite design I have ever created.

🌟 Leaves sung into silver and prehnite gemstones made of the first spring leaves.

✨ Made for dryads stepping out of ancient oaks.

🌟 Just a reminder that the 25% sale will end in a few days, and then I will be buttoning up my shop so we can settle into our summer place!

🌟 Cheers to everyone who has stopped by the sale so far! I am so pleased that so many of you have been able to pluck some pieces you’ve had your eye on for a while.

🌟 Cheers to everyone who has caught my spring cleaning sale so far! 🌟

It is such a joy seeing past designs being plucked, like they were waiting for their intendeds all this time. And soon all of those claimed pieces will find their people: owls will fly off to the post, tiny icicles will form below ears, lucky feathers will settle around necks, and last year's violets will bloom atop hands.

✨🌟 S P R I NG S A L E 🌟✨ 
As we pack up our home and take endless trips to the summer cabin and our storage unit, I thought “what better time to have a spring cleaning sale?”

I don’t often do sales, but I am so appreciative of your patronage, and relish the thought of making space for new work on the shelves. And then I can also purchase some yummy gemstones I have been eying for a summer collection for you! (I spent one single morning with my sketchbook, and now this summer is looking quite foxy.)

🌟 The sale includes all my older designs, as well as pieces from Part I of the Violet Linings Collection from last summer.

🌟 No need for a code! Everything that is included in the sale is already marked down.

🌟 My shop will be open for a few days, and then I will put it on pause while we get settled. When it reopens, the sale will be finished and we will be back to our regularly scheduled programming.  
Cheers!

🌟 Life Update 🌟

We are in the process of moving house, so life is rather akilter at the moment!

Our 9-month lease ends this month and doesn’t pick back up until September, so we decided to spend the summer at a cabin in northern Maine. My fella is taking a much deserved summer off to spend his days hiking, making wood-fired pizzas, fishing, reading on a sunshiny deck, mountain biking, all the best woodsy things. I am bringing my studio with me, so I will be spinning silver for you all summer!

I will be taking things a bit slower than usual, days spent reading my back-log, and sipping coffee, and napping with the cats, and taking pictures of funny mushrooms, all the usual things.

The shop will stay open for as long as I can tuck orders in the mail, I will give you a heads up if I have to put it on pause.

I still have two lilting earrings designs to share with you that are just about finished, so keep an eye out for that!

Packing up your orders is always such a lovely time for me.

I get to greet familiar names, and many new ones. Often I can remember what pieces from past collections these familiar names had caught. I can imagine their growing collections of my work, the specific-to-them pieces that called to them from my studio.

I imagine personalities based around the pieces claimed. “I bet she puts her hand on the bark of every tree she passes.” “They would totally have a pet crow named Copernicus.” “She probably wears all my pieces at once, like beautiful, feminine armor.”

You, my sweet friends, are the best.

Everything is in the mail, sweet friends! If you placed an order, your violet should be winging its way to you as we speak! ✨💜
