hello beautiful soul

For several years now, I've been using the phrase "hello beautiful soul" to begin my newsletters. I use it because when I start writing my notes, I want you to imagine that you're hearing my voice saying those words to you.

I really want you to feel seen when those notes arrive in your inbox.

And when I was brainstorming the phrase I wanted to put on stickers to put on the envelopes I send with orders from my shop, this phrase combined with "you are loved" seemed just right.

When the stickers arrived the quality was so over-the-top awesome that I've started handing them to people as I go about my day. A cashier who was kind, a new friend I made while sitting on stairs in Portland, Oregon, my mail carrier. Because everybody needs a little reminder that they are beautiful and loved and they are seen. YES!

I've even put one on my laptop and my favorite water bottle because I just can't stop myself.

After getting a few requests, I put them in the shop so you can give them to people in your corner too.

They come in sets of 5, 10, and 25 right here.

The Sparkle & Joy Collection

I have a confession: 

I've fallen in love with glitter. And sequins. And things that sparkle. As in, I can't stop myself. As in, I bought new pink glasses that have glitter in them. (For reals.)

It has spilled over into my shop when I spotted these beads and had to do something with them. Right. Now.

The Sparkle & Joy Collection is (very) limited edition and filled with a few necklaces and earrings to bring a little bit more sparkle into your world!

Check them all out right here.

Today's shop special

Over on my new FB group, I've been sharing shop specials all week. Today's is the Mystery Soul Mantra Necklaceand it's available for only $15 (which is 25% off!). The mystery is that I will choose a soul mantra word for you from my collection of favorites. Words on my studio table today include enough, rest, wonder, worthy, hope, and love. Perfect for gifts and as a surprise just for you.

new silver collection (and a shop coupon)

I'm so excited to announce my new silver collection is in the shop. New pewter pendants (with customizable options!), silver-plated lockets, and a few sterling silver pieces (including the popular "so i fly" necklace).

Over the years I've had a lot of requests for silver pieces, and I'm so thrilled to be able to offer some options at several price points.

(And if you look through the new items, you just my spot my tentative word for 2014. Have you been thinking about your word yet? I'm going to spend some time writing about my 2013 word soon and what I've learned from it.)

And just for fun a little pre-holiday sale in the shop! Use coupon code FIFTEEN to take 15% off your order through Friday. (Remember, just click "apply coupon code" right above your shopping cart total and enter the code there.)

Thank you for supporting my shop and my family. I'm feeling deeply blessed to be able to share my stories and create these talismans to be sent out into the world.

Big love,

Liz

soul mantra pocket talismans

a peek at my studio altar (shell given to me by a family friend over 30 years ago)

I've been dreaming about these little talismans for a while now and I am so excited to share them with you today!

I wanted to create something that you can carry around with you in your pocket. Then each time you feel it, you would be reminded to take a deep breath and remember you are not alone.

love keeping these all together in a bowl on my studio table

You can hold them in yours hand and rub your fingers along the letters and let yourself believe the words hand stamped just for you. You could also place a talisman on your altar or next to your bed or even in your cubicle at work. They will remind you to just be right here and know that you are enough.

These talismans are stamped with the mantras I hold onto, that guide me, that remind me I'm not alone.

You can find them all right here. I hope you enjoy them...

and so i fly

Delighted to be including these new postcards with all orders from the So I Fly Collection.

It's been beautiful to read the stories about why people are drawn to the feathers and the birds and the words. The pieces from this collection are often gifted to friends going through difficult times or embarking on new adventures. I gather these stories and tuck them in the pockets inside me so that I can pull them when I need to be reminded of why I do what I do over here in my little studio in the Pacific Northwest.

And I'm so happy that my little shop just keeps growing. Working on some exciting new designs for fall that I'll be sharing some sneak peeks of soon.

Thank you for supporting my shop and my work and my family. I really am blessed.

Sending so much light and love to your corner of the world today...
