Attention: Fall Trend Alert!

Posted on by

Here at Abeille we’re always paying attention to the latest in fashion and jewelry trends.  This Fall, whether it’s supplies or ready-made pieces, we’ve got what you need to make a splash at your next Fall fete or give a truly stylish and unique gift.  The holidays will be upon us sooner than we anticipate so it is never too early to start on your holiday gift crafting!

We’re seeing a lot of chain layering and some serious vintage flavor, with both bold and understated pieces taking center stage on the runway and in high-end boutiques.  Need some ideas?  Check out the latest inspiration board in our front window.

On a budget?  We can show you how to recreate your favorite looks straight out of the magazines for less. In our Jewelry Reinvented class, share an evening with friends to take old pieces and make them new again.

We are pleased to announce that our Bee List members will enjoy 20% of all metal chains and ribbon for the entire month of October! Come in to browse our extensive selection of chain featuring gunmetal, brass, copper, gold, and sterling silver and our ever-growing ribbon selection including grosgrain, hand-dyed silk, and artist woven ribbons! Learn how to soften the look by combining the two in our Jewelry Making with Chain and Ribbon Class!

At the Sweet & Sparkly Holiday Cards class, we made five (5) adorable cards using A Muse Artstamps’s wonderful line of papers, wood-mounted rubber stamps, ribbons and fun embellishments, along with a variety of craft punches and other tools. Some of these you have to see closely to pick up the sparkly surprises. I personally, love the boy catching the snowflake. It reminds me of when my sister got her glove, then her tongue, stuck on the school yard fence. These cards are sure to evoke some childhood memories.

Liz out did herself again this time with these beautiful designs shared in the Simply Elegant Holiday Card Workshop. We made five (5) stunningly simple and beautiful cards with A Muse Artstamps’s wonderful line of papers, wood-mounted rubber stamps, ribbons and fun embellishments, along with a variety of craft punches and other tools, to create truly special handmade greetings.  We embossed, water colored and mastered the stamp positioner. Liz shared lots of cool techniques. A good time was had by all.
