Whirlwind of activity!


Wow, there has sure been a lot going on around the Pop Culture Princess studio (aka: the downstairs area of my townhouse, haha). And all this during/after I had the flu - hopefully no more sickies around here for the rest of the year!

Right after my last post, I found out one of my dear friends wrote about my jewelry on her blog - so nice!

From Magpie on a Fence, July 27, 2010

"This is so neat! My friend Joan has found a clever way to recycle CDs...make jewelry...SUPER COOL! I love the idea of repurposing items rather than sending them to the landfill."

And then, another friend was kind enough to say good things as well!

From Worleygig, August 6, 2010

"J’s jewelry is very beautiful, super modern and also very affordably priced. Please check out more of her work and consider purchasing her jewelry for yourself or as a gift..."

I've been trying to get the word out, and it looks like it's working! Hoping to have some interviews in the next couple of weeks all thanks to YOU GUYS for passing the word around about eco-friendly jewelry.

In other PCP news: Pop Culture Princess is now a member of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce (yay!) Next stop: star on the walk of fame (I'll just be standing on one with a cocktail, lol).

Later on this week, I'll be putting my cousin to work on prep so there should be plenty of NEW items for Holiday season and the upcoming exhibition! I have so many new designs in my head and on paper waiting to come out!

Oh, and if you get an email from me, don't delete it - please pass it on! Am starting in on sending emails to y'all every couple of weeks with sale information, discount goodies, upcoming non-profit beneficiaries and all sorts of info. Thanks!!!

Tons of fun in Mission Viejo!


Hi all! We had a GREAT time at the Prelude in the Park event last weekend in Mission Viejo. I've attached a little slide show of our booth and the surroundings. It was a perfect summer day, grass in between my toes, nice breeze and lovely people. Thanks to all who were kind enough to invite me and who made it happen - congrats on a lovely event!

Speaking of Mission Viejo, I am sooooo excited to tell everyone that I will be doing an art exhibition at the NPM Community Center coming up from October 26 - November 22! So glad people are interested in seeing and learning more about upcycled jewelry! So mark your calendars and try to make it out - it is free and the community center is so gorgeous - it's like a resort!

There is a lot going on for Pop Culture Princess right now, it's been very busy. The photo posted is of custom sterling silver earrings that I made this week - they turned out lovely! I will be posting a lot more items available on Etsy this week and next, and I starting to plan the art exhibition as well as arranging for a number of upcoming shows, so keep checking back!
