A Day at Silver Lake

As some of you well know I've been in Vermont for the past two weeks. 

I was able to catch up with friends and family.

On this day my mom (pictured) and I spent some time at a peaceful lake.

Excuse some of the photos, my auto focus seems to have disappeared and I have been working with manual.

Thanks for stopping in!

Sneak Peeks of Printed Peaks

So, now you have seen the Mansfield, Skye, and Bromley necklaces and now here is the Stark necklace:

 The Stark necklace is also named after a mountain in Vermont. I chose to make a diamond shape to show abstractly the mountain and it's reflection in a lake or pond. Like the leather accents? If this is your first visit to Little Somethings, I will be opening an Etsy shop soon and you can follow the process through the links I've shown above, if you'd like. Also, as a side note to any wishful Etsy shop owners Katie of I Go By Katie has come up with a huge inventory of knowledge just for you, here. I've been really working tirelessly on this project and have been trying to make this into a business. Often times this all seems frightening and daunting but following the wise words of Jena from Miss Modish sometimes you just need to face your fears in order to conquer your goals.  

I hope you enjoyed your visit!

Sneak Peek of Printed Peaks

Hi all! I've been hard at work trying to get done more necklaces for my "Printed Peaks" Etsy shop. Above is a polaroid taken while I polyurethane some already stained pieces. 

This is the wall where my desk faces. I have tried to turn this space into my inspiration wall. The dream catcher print is from Sarah of A Lost Feather. I first saw the illustration on her blog and really fell in love with it. I feel like it kind of embodies the spirit of my shop. She is such a great artist and is currently working with me on my Etsy banner and business cards. So exciting! She is so talented! Check out her shop, here!

Another polaroid of me with my Peaks, I'm pretty meticulous if you can't tell by this picture.

This is the Mansfield necklace and is one of the more simple necklaces in the collection (if you can call it a collection...I guess I say collection because each necklace is a 1 out of 15) I decided on the name Mansfield because the tallest point in Vermont is Mount Mansfield. I absolutely love this necklace and how amazing it looks with anything. I have 8 completed and I believe I have 7 left. If you would like to see some more of my inspiration head on over to my Pinterest boards, here. I've been inspired by red/burgundy/brown/pink combinations as you can see on my board- "Printed Peaks Pt. 3". I'm not sure what color combination will be my next "collection" but I am certainly thinking very hard, even though I haven't even opened my shop yet! haha. Thanks for stopping by! I love sharing this adventure with you! - Lo
