Fresh from the garden...

It was TIME to freshen things up a bit 

in the picture department,

so I asked my dear friend, Peggy, 

of Peggy Garbus Photography 

to grab her camera 

and meet me in my favorite place, 

the garden.

The sun was shining on what's left of our tomato plants, 

the air was warm and clear - a perfect day 

for a natural light photo, Peggy's specialty.

Leave it to Peggy to capture the light just right, 

catch the tilt of the head 

and find that twinkle in my eye!

Thank you, dear friend.  

You have such a gift!

How delicious is this?

Freshly cut and wired...

Here's a peek at some of my new ribbon colors for this fall's collection.

I could just dive right in to this pillow of color...

Gotta LOVE Midori...

yummy....

Got a glitter S.O.S....

My friend, Angela Jia Kim, 

founder and owner of OmAroma & Co. , 

an award-winning, anti-aging luxury spa & skincare line,

wanted a little sparkle for her shop last night.

It was Fashion Night in NYC, 

so she sent out an S.O.S to the glitterfairy!

I helped to flesh out Angela's and her store manager, Dennis', 

vision for the night...

- A glorious garden of eden!

Since Om Aroma's products are all natural, organic 

and bursting with fruit extracts,

they wanted to "glitz-it-up-a-notch" 

with some glittered fruits used in the line. 

  

I glittered raspberries, 

( the red raspberry serum is delicious, and has a natural spf. )

I also glittered pumpkins, apricots, grapes, 

oranges, pomegranates...

all components of Om Aroma's amazing products.

Angela's shop in the Limelight Marketplace is stunning

(6th Avenue & 20th Street, NYC) 

but I can't wait to see it with an extra bit of sparkle.

Great fun!  I'll post the pictures soon!

Red Raspberry Rocks!!!

Had the distinct pleasure a few evenings ago of attending the launch of a wonderful new product, 

Red Raspberry Day Serum, from Om Aroma & Co.

Om Aroma & Co. , founded by my friend, Angela Jia Kim, 

is an anti-aging luxury organic spa and skincare line 

that is free of parabens, formaldehyde, sulfates, 

and other toxic chemical fillers.

Angela , a gifted, (and breathtakingly gorgeous) touring concert pianist,

founded this amazing line after having a most inopportune 
allergic reaction to a body cream 

just before stepping on stage to perform a concert, 

and instantly realized the need for skincare products 

without chemicals and preservatives.  

Since it's launch in 2007, Om Aroma has won numerous awards and accolades.  

I am its newest convert and I can honestly say I love all the products I've tried.

I also purchased an organic caviar eye cream, Extrait de Caviar, 

which feels absolutely yummy around my slightly mature...(ahem!) eyes, 

as well as Dream & Do, a delicious everything cream 
with an intoxicating lavender scent.

I can't wait to get back to Angela's shop for more!

Om Aroma is located at

Limelight Marketplace

656 Ave of the Americas

New York, NY 10010

Here's to great skin!

Blue Hydrangeas & Buoys

Wanted to share this image of Cape Cod with you. 

 I was wandering around the grounds at our favorite farm stand

and came upon this wonderful juxtaposition

of color and shape. 

Isn't this just a picture postcard?

You know, I think I will make this into a card.

And those veggies....(sigh...) 
Quite a few of these bodacious beauties 
made it into our Bruschetta that night.


Oh, how I love my Cape...

Hey, look what's growing in the pumpkin patch!

Here's a quick peek at my newest ornament for the Fall.


It's a sterling silver glittered pear bedecked
with gorgeous aqua Midori double-faced satin.
This beauty will really pop off your tree 
and will shine so beautifully amidst the twinkling lights. 
I'm using my newest, absolutely amazing glitter, 
which actually contains sterling silver 
yet won't tarnish over time.
I know you'll love it!


Much, much more to come...the glitter is flying around here!

p.s.  If you get over to Southampton, 
check out The Elegant Setting, a wonderful shop on Main Street 
who still has some of my glittery ornaments for sale!  
Tell Stephanie The GlitterFairy sent you!

A wonderful time was had by all...

We had such fun on Saturday at our Trunk Show 

at The Elegant Setting in Southampton.

The shop is gorgeous and is filled with the most wonderful things, 

from exquisite china & crystal & linens

to velvet pencils and monogrammed notepads.

I was thrilled to be at the front of the house 

to greet everyone with a glittery smile.

And speaking of smiles, the owner, Stephanie, 

couldn't have been more welcoming to us 

and introduced us to all her wonderful clients.

Stephanie is a master at finding the perfect gift 

for her discerning clients.

Kate's bags from Sharp Hill Designs absolutely lit up the shop.

Kate and I stopped for a quick photo op...

Glitter, glitter, everywhere!

It was a perfect shop, perfect customers, 

a perfect day...

Thanks, Stephanie!

p.s. I'm pleased to tell you that Stephanie will be featuring 

my silver glittered fruit ornaments and perching glitterdoves 

in her holiday windows this year.  

What an honor!  

It will be exquisite...

I savored the evening...

Last night, I attended a wonderful Savor the Success event in NYC, 

hosted by founders Angela Jia Kim (pictured above) 

and co-founder and husband, Mark.  

There were approximately 60 amazing women 

enjoying dinner and networking, 

while enjoying the view from 32 stories up! 

I made some new entrepreneurial friends 

and our speaker, 

Betty Newman, 

shared tips on 

how to package our products 

when pitching to editors and the media.

  

I adore NYC and especially enjoyed the ride in with dear friends, 

Jane Pollak and Kate Woodman, 

and the ride home with the aforementioned 

and two new friends, Robin and Nancy.

Lively conversation added to an already terrific evening!

Savor the Success is a dynamic organization full of 

accomplished entrepreneurial women 

and provides priceless information and support.

I'm so glad to have STS in my toolbox!

It's back to the glitter mines for me today, however...

(I'm working on some gorgeous sea critters, 

frames and glittered beachy notecards 

for Saturday's Southampton 

glitter extravaganza...)

Gone to the dogs...er...cats...

Had the most fun working last week 
on a simple project 

for NewsChannel 12's 
Pet Talk with Lauren Collier.  

The segment will be airing 
this weekend at multiple times.

Here is my sweet Teddy, 

modeling a glittery cheetah number!  

You really can't see the glitter much in this picture, but I highlighted 

each spot with a dash of chocolate 

brown glitter for a bit of sparkle.

As you can see, Teddy was not pleased.

(He doesn't wear clothes...)

Cleo was a bit more patient, 
but rather grumpy 

in her lovely pink camo bandana 

highlighted with 
a touch of pink glitter. 

(Cleo does grumpy soooo well.) 

And my dear BabyCat 
cooperated quite nicely 

with my photographic insanity.  

She is my supermodel...

(I may have to start paying her...)

Fortunately, I found some willing 
canine models, Lilly and Bonnie,

and their sweet mom, Pam.

Lilly and Pam are sporting 
the lovely "Mother & Daughter" 

glittered black & white 
zebra print, with just a touch 

of silver glitter.  

Pam cleverly twisted her bandana 
into a nifty headband.

Quite fetching don't ya think?

Of course, what Lilly really wanted 
to do was 
roll and roll and roll....

What fun we all had...

Try to catch the show this weekend.
