I say TREAT! As in treat yourself to some jewelry.

In between the goblins and the ghouls, take some time out for some eye candy, jewelry style.

These {jewelry} treats will be appearing in my store real soon.

I find the ocean to be a soothing and forceful muse.  The colours, the creatures, the shapes, the imagery, the lessons.  

Be strong enough to swim against the tide. 

Be Elegantly Audacious.

It was a beautiful fall day today.  Sunny, and a little on the crisp side.  

The leaves are gorgeous right now.  I had to bring some home and decorate.  

And what is the best jewelry to go with autumn?  Well, I think my bronze necklace is a great match!  

I will be releasing bronze pendants like mine on my website soon.  Want to be the first to know?  Sign up to my email list and become an insider.

I am getting ready to release new jewelry pieces here at Leonajeanne Designs.  

These carved bronze pieces will soon be necklaces and earrings ready for you. 

In about 10 days, the bronze will join the copper pieces I showed the other day.

A handful of enamelled copper pieces.  

Just waiting for their final touches - either to be put on their necklace or on their earwire.

Then they will be ready for photographs.   The finished products will be listed in my store in a few weeks time for my first launch.

At the day job today and surrounding myself with some of my favourite things.  Like Winnie-the-Pooh, a favourite from childhood (bag made by my friend).  

A mug of tea, Spice Dragon Red Chai, in this fantastic mug by Franziska that I got last year at a holiday show.  

And my bronze jewellery.  So versatile, it, even goes with tea!  

I will be launching my store and releasing some pieces in early November.  Want to be the first to know?  Sign up to the Insider email list below.  

My bronze pendants are versatile.  They can be worn with white or collars.

Or with a black scoop neck top.

And even with blue patterns!  These pendants sit on your collar bone, making them the perfect length to be both boldly visible and elegantly styled.

I had some time while I was downtown this afternoon to relax with a chai tea latte.  



I took my favourite Blue Q bag with me.  I love the bold colour and the bicycles all over it.  I always get compliments when I have it with me.  It makes me feel Elegantly Audacious.

I love to read and really enjoy the community movement of Little Free Libraries that are cropping up everywhere.  I can reach 2 within a 15 min bike ride of my place.  

This is one we saw on our recent vacation I wrote about a few posts back.  

Go ahead - take a book that looks interesting.  And leave a book you are done with.

Today is a bit grey for August, when we usually have bright sunshine and blue ocean.  Often, you can see Mt. Baker.  Not today.  Instead we have grey on grey.  You can still see the islands out in the Haro straight, though.  

I am also in grey - just casual, comfy walking around the neighbourhood gear.  

Why not spice up the grey a bit? So I threw on my oceany copper pendant.  

Yes, you most certainly can wear jewelry on casual day.

I confess!  I wear slippers in my studio.  Mostly because they are comfortable and keep my feet cozy.  And really, even though I am working hard on getting my collections out to you, very few of my tools are hazardous to my toes.  

These are my favourite slippers, from Padraig Cottage.  And for my second confession - I have a pair I wear at my day job too!

I like to wear my patterned metal pendant with my Parsley and Sage tunic.  

Even with all the patterns, to me, it goes together beautifully.  

So go ahead, be Elegantly Audacious and mix up your patterns!

PS:  I hear Parsley and Sage are coming out with a Leona tunic...gonna have to check that out.
