Lauren Hanham Designs: April 2014

http://laurenhanhamdesigns.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Upcoming and Past Events. The studio I work at Jewel Envy's owner Gillian Batcher is getting married this summer! We're all very happy and excited for her and my excitement was re-sparked this week when the wedding invitation arrived in the mail. Its minimalist Art Deco design and "elegant attire" dress code instructions got me thinking what pretty much any girl would immediately start thinking:.What the heck am I going to wear? What is "elegant attire" anyway? Look by David Jones. PS Thanks to the peopl...

Upcoming and Past Events. I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. For the last year every time I wore my vintage turquoise ring I could feel the glue holding the stone loosening. "Just fix it! I said to myself but alas, laziness always wins the battle of life. I've shown this ring before in a " What's in Your Closet. I was returning this vintage gem to it's place on my ring stand when it slipped out of my hand! Next step: clean up with acetone or nail polish remover. Have you ever had a stone like...

Upcoming and Past Events. A Jeweller Learns to Code. Yesterday, however, I took a step. Like.the tiniest baby step ever, but still a step! My boyfriend told me that Telus (that cellphone company we all interchangeably hate in between Rogers and Bell) was co-sponsoring an event with the company Lighthouse Labs called The HTML500. With his friend Chuck. You can view the fruit of my labour here. Or here's a screenshot. Here's to continuing to learn to things and facing our fears! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Lauren Hanham Designs: June 2014

Upcoming and Past Events. So in I went! I love vintage stores, they remind me of my cottage and all the wonderful trinkets my mother and grandmothers have kept over the years. You would think I would be immediately drawn to the jewellery but I'm a big sucker for vintage purses. I found the little nook where they lived and started rifling through. There were some dang cute purses but nothing really caught my eye as much as this did. And it all zips up perfectly! The Painted Table is located at 1716 Queen ...

Upcoming and Past Events. Turquoise, Emeralds and a Lovely Surprise! Golden Globe 2014 Favourites. So, last Sunday was the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards for television and film. I've been watching this awards show and The Oscars since I was 12. Half for the movies and tv shows and half for the fashion, ooooobviously. Here are my favourites from the red carpet this year. She's alarmingly cool about it, as usual. Oh dear) Congrats darling! Maybe we'll get that Oscar this year! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Upcoming and Past Events. Treasures In The Tool Shed. So there was a bit of extra focus in that particular area. I can't help myself, my Mom and I started nosing around and I ended up emptying a drawer labeled "Grandpa's Tools". I don't know if you know this but jewellers LOVE tools. Well, I'm a jeweller (obviously) and I love tools and I love anything antique or vintage. Put those together and I'm in heaven! Vice grips, wooden level, sharpening stone, lock. More wrenches and a piece of a monkey wrench.

Lauren Hanham Designs: A Little Purse-onalization

http://laurenhanhamdesigns.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-little-purse-onalization.html

Upcoming and Past Events. Ok sorry, I couldn't resist the pun. Sometimes you need to make people roll their eyes, you know? As you probably guessed by the silly post title this post is not about jewellery, it's about a purse. Like a lot of girls, I have a copious, some might say ridiculous, amount of purses. I don't think 24 purses is really that many. They all have a different purpose even if that purpose is just to look pretty :D. So why do I hate it? You see that short, good for nothing strap? All tha...

Lauren Hanham Designs: Adieu, Adieu, to You and You and You!

http://laurenhanhamdesigns.blogspot.com/2015/05/adieu-adieu-to-you-and-you-and-you.html

Upcoming and Past Events. Adieu, Adieu, to You and You and You! I wanted to change all that. Here's my first profile picture I sent to a show taken by our studio manger Alexis. My work was mostly fabrication based. I was terrified of casting. I loved (and still do) piercing shapes out of sheet metal and fold forming copper into leaf shapes. Then in the fall of 2012, Jewel Envy moved out of our tiny studio on Spadina into the large house on Marion you're all familiar with now. I became way more comfortabl...

Upcoming and Past Events. Well, this is a first for me. This week I got an email from an online bridal boutique called Weddington Way. Telling me they had come across my blog and loved my beautiful jewellery. It said they would like me to participate in their blogger January Style Challenge. The setting was a bridesmaid. Here is the dress I chose:. Donna Morgan Lily poly chiffon bridesmaid dress in Victorian Jade. It's a nice flowy chiffon dress. Boho kimono by Factorie. Kimono by Abercrombie and Fitch.

Upcoming and Past Events. DIY: Make Your Rings Fit Better In The Cold Weather. Sometimes moving the ring to another finger isn't an option or you just really want to wear it on that particular finger. So what can we do? Now that that's clarified, I'll show you what I did to my ring. Now the gap is filled and my ring has gone down to a size 7 1/4! Anyways, I hope this was helpful and that you can now comfortably wear your favourite rings in the winter! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
