<b><i><span style="color: blue;">New website:</span></i></b> Early this year we began building a new and improved website with the same web address, <a href="http://www.designsinthelight.co/">Designs in the Light</a> The new website features our latest collections of boho and gallery designs. Handcrafted metal clay, beach inspired boho earrings, beaded necklaces and wrap bracelets, art bead designs and lots more.<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: blue;">New Blog: </span></i></b>We feature a new blog over there on the website with lots of news from 2016. Get a cup of your favorite drink and catch up on our year if you have a little time, : <a href="http://designsinthelight.co/blog/">Designs in the Light Blog</a>.<br />

<b><i> </i></b>You can find a wholesale application and program for shops, boutiques, galleries or wine shops. We are currently looking for a couple more shops to add to our business.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>Etsy Shops:</b></i> </span>We have restructured our Etsy shops. Our jewelry shop, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/designsinthelight">Designs in the Light Etsy</a> is still open and the current plan is to offer <b>pricing with discounts </b>on some of our over stock or designs that do not fit on the website. This is where we started our online business in 2009 and we hope to continue with our customer base with this format.<br />

<i><b><span style="color: blue;">Bead Supply Shop:</span></b></i> One of the things Mike and I enjoy is the hunt to find great beading supplies. We have found we have way to many beautiful art beads and supplies are no longer what we need for our collections. <span style="color: blue;">U Can Bead 2</span> is a jewelry de-stash supply shop. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ucanbead2">U Can Bead 2 on Etsy</a>. I have put together little assortments of color coordinated beads, many come with art beads for the jewelry artist to add to their collection and design with. <b>The pricing in this shop is mostly de-stash or discounted</b> from my original purchases and you can save even more with our coupons when you buy multiple packs.<br />

Mike and I are busy completing a couple custom orders, working on new designs, some that are complete and will be listed soon and new ideas for the coming months.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Bronze, Smoke and Pearls Collection</b></i> will be ongoing this year. It features beautiful glass in bronze, and smoke grey, with freshwater pearls and Vintage Coco Channel beads and Czech glass. We will feature many styles of beaded wraps by Cherrie, and handmade bronze and silver clay designs and earrings by Michael. Each piece will be unique, sometimes we can duplicate but not always. Our mixed metals woven bracelets coordinate well and we have had a hard time keeping those in stock.<br />

<h3>
News for our studio this October......</h3>
Mike and I are busy in the studio these days creating new pieces for our fall winter collections. Lots of <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue;">beaded pieces, our new woven wrap bracelets, and Mikes bronze, copper and sterling metal clay designs in several brand new beaded colors I cooked up this year. </span></span>Our focus is quality nature inspired handmade jewelry that coordinates so you have choices of lots of layered textured colorful jewelry.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">SAVE...Use special pricing code when you coordinate 2 or 3 pieces at one time in our Etsy shop. </span><br />
<br />
These new woven bracelets come in two widths and several color-ways and also can be made for ladies or men. I love adding random little beads to give them extra color and texture and they are all one of a kind this way. With <span style="color: blue;"><u>gift giving soon </u></span>upon us check out our shops frequently. They are going fast and I plan to add at them as quickly as I can. They are super comfortable and look great alone or with wrapped necklace/bracelet wraps or bangles in a stacked look as shown.<br />
<br />
This is one the seasons newest color pallets and I love it!! Plum Bronze<br />

<i>Mike and Cherrie here on the Oregon Coast.........</i> </h3>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We just returned from a quick visit to see our Oregon grand kids. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is always such a blessing to catch up and play and visit with each of them and never enough time. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were able to get in a couple trips to the beach, our favorite place on earth. We are so inspired in our art and our jewelry design by the light, colors, and textures of nature. </div>

<br />
<b>We just opened yet another shop!</b>! In this business we love collecting, designing and playing with beads and have decided it is time to share a few of the many beautiful beads from our collection.<br />
<br />
This project has been brewing in my little head for about 3 years or more. Over the past 8 years I discovered many wonderful art bead artists. You might know most of my designing over a 2 1/2 years period when I was a published jewelry designer in Bead Trends included these beads. If you are an creative jewelry artist you know sometimes, you wait for the inspiration, or season, or just the time to design with some of those beads. Crazy, but we just can't help ourselves, right?<br />
<br />
<b>I have opened this shop </b><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ucanbead2">U Can Bead 2 Etsy </a>to share my collection with you. I have lovingly pulled little color coordinated collections with many of my favorite art beads. The idea is if you add them to your stash you can easily find inspiration for several new pieces. Kind of like de-stashing with my twist.<br />
<br />
Some of these art beads are no longer available as the artists no longer sell to my knowledge. That makes each little collection OOAK, one of a kind. Something you might not find anywhere else. It helps to revive the reason it was originally created. I'm hoping a win-win for everyone!!<br />
<br />
Mike and I have worked together for the past couple years building our business. We have sold to boutiques, juried art shows and online in our shops. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/designsinthelight">Designs in the Light Etsy</a>. We love the journey of finding pretty beads. We compliment each other in the choices, much like we have in other ventures we worked together on. <br />
<br />
This year we have moved in a slightly new direction. We have not signed up for art shows. We miss seeing the ladies face to face, but it made sense with our schedule this year at least. If you have received this newsletter please follow us on face book <a href="http://www.facebook.com/designsinthelight">Designs in the Light Face book</a> and you get daily inspiration, news, special offers and lots of other stuff. Our jewelry is offered on our website <a href="http://www.designsinthelight.co/">Designs in the Light Website</a> and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/designsinthelight">Designs in the Light Etsy</a>. If you have seen something in the past at our shows please send us a note to see if we still offer it.<br />
<br />
Mike is busy designing amazing collections of metal clay of all kinds, and teaching this unique art at our local bead store, Beads on Main, in Vacaville, CA. Our plan is to sell his work in our website and galleries. We are looking for new galleries to offer this work to, so if you have any to recommend we are open to suggestion. We will also be offering selected bronze, copper, silver components in our new shop as well!! <b>UCanBead2</b><br />
<br />
I am still designing our beaded boho and nature collections and selling in several boutiques and online in our shops.<br />
<br />
It is a lot of work keeping it all organized but it is the way we have found works for us. As soon as I get this shop up and running I will be listing some new jewelry for the upcoming fall season. Can't wait to do that!!<br />

This is just the beginning of summer and we love the beach. The designs above include a couple new designs I made on vacation. This is a new artist I am working with and I like the casual look so I ordered more beach art bead pendants today and have some ideas to continue working on and bringing to our shops soon.<br />

Mike and I have had an interesting beginning to the year 2015. I began the year with a problem knee and so I spent several weeks on my computer, catching up with listing lots of new jewelry after our busy show season. We shared duties with lots of photography, editing, listing and me receiving beautiful little plates of food delivered so I could stay upstairs. </div>

Mike spent a weekend in January teaching an advanced Bronze metal clay class at our local bead shop, Beads on Main. This is a great group of <span style="background-color: yellow;">jewelry artists. </span> Mike teaches techniques including basics metal clay design all the way to bezels and finishing.<br />

At the end of January we both caught colds and took turns making soup and resting. More computer work and organization.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Today we began designing again after quite a few weeks of attending to other parts of the business. Any person in the biz will tell you the back end of the business is not the most enjoyable but necessary part of it. Designing is what we look forward to. Looking forward to sharing.<br />
<br />
We have begun submitting to shows for later in the year and planning our next production schedule. We have plans to move our website and many parts to upgrading our line.<br />
<br />
We are looking for several ladies boutiques in Northern CA and welcome any inquiries in this area.<br />

We went to dinner at the then famous Nut Tree Restaurant, a Beach Boys concert in San Francisco, stopped by his company Christmas party, and talked into the night. One year later, my two little boys and I stood under a big oak tree on Christmas Eve and we got married on that foggy winter day. Fast forward........... All of our early non digital family pictures are buried in storage so I can't show you how we looked all those years ago. Some day I need to pull those out and enjoy the memories.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is not the same Oak tree but has become one of our favorites in the past few years. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mike enjoys shooting the light and colors in the beautiful nature around this pond. Our grandchildren love this park and so do we. We have created many memories here. </div>

We have enjoyed many chapters in this past 40 years. That number sounds so big! A little surreal. We moved around quite a bit. Life has always been full of ups and downs but always interesting and centered around our family. We have watched the boys grow up and have their own families. We dearly love all of our grandchildren and feel so very blessed to be able to be in their lives. They all enjoy nature, the beach, art, and so much more of what is important to us. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have been unique in being able to work together many of these years. We have opened and closed several business ventures. These days we work side by side on our handcrafted jewelry design business. We love the creative side to our lives now. We wish we had more time to relax, although we have met some wonderful friends along the way and the ideas just never stop flowing so we stay very busy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What comes next is always a question. We wish we could see just a bit in the future. We hope to find a way to travel more, slow down a bit and enjoy new creative adventures in the coming years, God willing. We have our faith. We never let our dreams go. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it would be nice to have a picture of us together. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Funny, we are always grabbing single shots as we work. </div>

This week has been a busy preparing for upcoming indoor shows and Traveling Bohos. Mike and I design these together. He puts together the handmade leather component with beautiful colors and textures and I design beaded strands and textures of chain to compliment his part. What we have is a really cool wrap bohemian bracelet!!<br />

These are just a few new colors that are not yet listed. They are quite time consuming and currently sell for $120 each and our customers love them. In fact several of our ladies have chosen several color ways to accent their wardrobe.<br />

The colors in these bracelets also coordinate with many other parts of our line. We have short, medium and long beaded necklaces that also can be worn as wrap bracelets. They look amazing in a layered look and coordinate with our art bead necklaces and bronze and copper clay necklaces. We also feature long tassel necklaces, boho swing, and 3 x wrap short and more delicate styles.<br />

If you love one of these bracelets and would like to purchase before I get them listed please send me a message at c@designsinthelight. On the design table next will be black and bronze, currently sold out and other fall color combos. I design these in batches of 2-3 at a time and then the same color might show up in a completely different style as the beads and chain vary. </div>

Mike and I normally design one of a kind jewelry that coordinates with our entire line. These art bead acorn necklaces where so popular at the last batch of art shows I ordered more so watch for new listings on these. If you want one be sure to put your name on one as they sold out quickly. The coordinate with out butterscotch sea foam color way. </div>

Mike and I love fall, it's his birthday month, our favorite time of year as the weather begins to change and we look forward to our last few months of business for the year. This year has been especially busy and exciting. We changed our business name, rebranded and began designing jewelry together.<br />
<br />
We wrapped up our last juried outdoor show the beginning of October. Pleasant Hill was was our 8th art and wine show of the year. All season we enjoyed meeting many new customers and many returning ladies as well. We loved the ladies who brought their friends and family and walked out wearing their new "Designs in the Light" jewelry.<br />

We took a quick long overdue trip to Oregon to visit our family. It was wonderful getting to play with our grandchildren, and do many of the things we love including walks and photography on the beach. We enjoyed some fresh seafood, shopping and good company. It was short but we came home feeling refreshed, happy and ready for a very busy month of designing. </div>

Upon arrival from our trip we hit the design table and I am working on lots of new color-ways of beaded jewelry. This beaded part of our line does very well at our shows where ladies can try on several coordinating pieces to achieve the look they are going for. Worn alone or layered the colors coordinate beautifully with the seasons fashion. </div>

Mike spent the whole week on bronze clay and has some gorgeous focal's for a new line of convertible necklaces we are introducing this fall. We will offer a selection of focal's and beaded backs that are inter-changeable. This way you can change with the seasons and enjoy the necklace all year. Next, he is on to more new earring designs. His customers love his earrings, every part is handmade and they are always super comfortable. Each one is special and mostly one of a kind. </div>

Also on the design table. We also have new colors coming in Traveling Boho Bracelets. These are very popular for us and we nearly sold out at our shows. That's a good thing!!</div>
