So this is the big launch week of chelsy anne dot com shop. I have been slowly getting ready for this day. Not all products are up yet, but it is looking great. Special thanks to my dear friend Helena Achia for helping me put this together. Stay tuned for the viewing.
I was able to make a Kawaii themed wish list in Etsy’s treasury yesturday. I love this stuff. Now that my daughter is going on 18 months, it’s pretty cute watching how she plays. I’ve bought her the kitty crayons and the fun plate for Christmas…The rest is up to you to buy for her. Haha.
So where have you been all this time, you must be thinking. It has been quite some time since I wrote about other artists or about my own creations. The last month my husband has been away for work and I have been struggling with my 1 year daughter just trying to keep the house clean. I haven’t had much time to work on jewellery but I have been starting a new collection that is more spiritually focused. It will be launching soon… As well I have a shop on Poppy Talk and I will be introducing some eco-friendly mixed media next month for their *Home Sweet Home* edition.
Time to celebrate, spread the word and…SHOP. To all my fellow Canadians I ‘m offering free shipping to anywhere in Canada, all other countries your second item(s) will have free shipping. Help me spread the word about iheartchelsyanne, you can find me on Facebook and Twitter just look up that exact spelling…and please tell all your friends ^_^
They are here and here to stay…yes, rings I say!
All available at my shop http://iheartchelsyanne.etsy.com
A few weeks ago I was in a major crunch to complete my home studio, as I was a featured Artist on a tv show called Ottawa Living, on Rogers cable 22. They came to my house to film, so my home studio had to be camera worthy! This is how it turned out…
In the future I will try to post the tv spot, but until then you can check out my etsy shop, http://iheartchelsyanne.etsy.com
Now introducing the *Solid Series* chunky sleek two-way necklace.
A fashionable and convertable necklace that may be worn as a chunky chocker by feeding the snake chain through the silver hoop and attaching the clasp at the opposite end of stones. Or by simply attaching the clasp of the snake chain to the silver hoop, making the necklace long and sleek.
The *Solid Series* will always consit of an 18″ silver snake chain, an assortment of chunky semi-precious stones and the organic silver hoop.
My new collection is available here…
Twenty years ago my sister and I would make our Barbies fight over who got to date Ken, not intentionally, that’s just how we ended up playing. I preffered my Mom’s vintage Barbies over my own, only because I chopped all their hair short and put Vaseline in it to act as a styling product. Sorry Mom, I know you loved those dolls…but you knew how I played so you must have known they would never stay in the same condition as they were when you gave them to me.
So on March 9th is the official celebration, hard to beleive the years have gone by so fast. I wonder if my daughter will ever have interest in Barbie, or any glamour doll that is. Only time will tell.

In preparation to sell on etsy, I have made some recent purchases in different genres to see how professional people are with their shop. So far I have received two items in the mail. I could tell immediately by the packaging who took their work seriously and who does this on the side.
Here are only some of the items I have purchased.
note: I still have more research to do…much more!
So as I’ve been making my jewellery, I’ve started designing as few collections at once, mostly due to the stone selections. In this process I have officially decided and launched a sister brand, *blush by chelsy anne*. This is all wedding jewellery and accessories. It wasn’t planned, but I think it’s definitely the right decision! Both my little boutiques will be on Etsy. Not yet, please be patient! I’m still in the process of packaging and branding. Soon my lovelies, soon!
I know that I should be starting my Christmas shopping, I’ve been looking through Etsy for perfect gifts for my sisters and parents and I came across this print *see legs by boopsie daisy* that is going to look o-some in my home office! Maybe I’ll wrap it up and put it under the tree, and I’ll say that my baby daughter gave it to me…yeah that’s what I’ll do. Thanks Riley girl, Mommy loves you! xox
I was tagged by my girl Andrea to add my six to the equation…
*one* I will never be able to take a yoga class because I’m too self conscious of accidentally letting out some gas.
*two* Listening to people breath loud irritates me.
*three* Every now and again I have to flex my middle fingers.
*four* I strongly believe that if I were to curse when a dragon fly was near, that he would come and sew my mouth shut.
*five* I’ll grow my finger nails until one breaks…currently at 1/4″ past the skin.
*six* Sadly, I have a hypersensitivity to cold dampness. When the climate strikes, I break out in hives.
I wil pass this on to neawear, a popular jeweller in Montreal.
As you can see, my bedroom is pretty blah…Since our baby has been born I haven’t found the time to make the bed, or put laundry away:S The art work has changed as well as the bedding, but does it really matter right now that the bed is never made. What I want to do is flip the bed to the opposite wall, turn this wall into a row of dressers, paint the walls, change the exhisting white curtains to woven shade with a colour accent fabric on top. Have some hanging plants infront of the very large window. I’ve been wanting to change this for awhile now, Christmas just seems right! Check out design sponge where I found some inspiration, I love the surfer clock!!!
I feel like I did the week before Riley was born. My life is about to change again and all I feel like I can do is wait…I’m launching a boutique full of wonderful handcrafted jewellery on Etsy. The jewellery is made, everything is set except I don’t want to open shop until I have my business cards. Sure it doesn’t seem like a big deal, but to me it is! I don’t feel comfortable knowing that I had one customer who had something less than the next. I want to achieve a good rep from the start, and I want to be remembered from the start. This so called small business is very serious to me as I will not be returning to my full time job doing visual display (playing with mannequins and props) when my maternity leave is up at the end of March. Pretty scary and exciting knowing that everything I do will effect my own outcome. I set the rules and the pace. There is a chance that the shop won’t be up in time for international Christmas orders but I’m not worried because there are birthdays and other holidays that follow. But people should just be a fan ofchelsy anne regardless…lol I’m starting to feel like a broken record when I talk to other Etsy members…still waiting for my business cards, can’t open shop until I get my business cards… Watch the order go wrong. Now I’m starting to feel a little anxious. HELP. Here is a sneak peak…enjoy and please be patient!
You can now find me on facebook too. Simply do a search for I heart chelsy anne. Done.
So they made it safely from the UK. Just touching them makes me excited. Moo does good work! Check out their stickers and post cards, pretty cool.
As before, you can find these on Etsy. Enjoy.
These should compliment the previous additions. http://iheartchelsyanne.etsy.com
I don’t know what it is about Brooklyn culture but man does it get me excited. Here is some work that can be found on Etsy.
My husband keeps asking me what I want for Christmas, but he said nothing from Etsy because I’m home during the day and I’ll want to open it as soon as it arrives. He told me to write a list, and this is what I wrote;
Wow, so it’s looks as though I have been busy with my beautiful little family this past month…
I’ve been making new mini collections of jewellery, using bamboo, shell and various semi precious stones. Some are already posted on Etsy and some are going up in a couple of days or so. I also launched the bridal collection *blush by chelsy anne*. There is more good news to come, you just need to patient…2009 is going to be a great one full of endless creativity for your little hearts to soak up.
These are just two of the *tie the knot* collection. If you know someone who is getting married, please send her my way…wink.
March 11 is the day…the day I will wake and look into my husband’s sleeping face and wonder where these last nine years together have gone. The day I kiss my daughters feet and realize I have been doing this for nine months. The day I receive phone calls from loved ones wishing me a very happy celebration. The day I unwrap a parcel of creative inspiration. The day the birthday cake will be gluten free. The day I make a wish that will undoubtfully come true. The day I look in the mirror and I am proud of who I see. The day I thank the lucky stars for all that is me. Thirty, what a wonderful place to be.

I’ve been browsing through many Etsian shops for ideas on this season of love and baby making…And OMG to my surprise there is a craft for dildos! Who knew? I couldn’t let this one slip, I had to showcase it as it is not something you would expect to see from me…Or maybe you would expect this from me.

This made me smile… I’m sure you will too.
Rabbit Love greeting card by *Scotia Made * available on Etsy.
Well I feel like a little school girl again…I’m having two girlfriends over for a slumber party tonight and I want to do it old school…I bought a Cosmo mag so we can do sexy boy quizzes, bought some snacks, dug out some pink nail polish… And because I am now more mature than I was in grade school, I bought some wine and some porto. Should be fun! My husband also took our daughter so they can crash at his mom’s…O-some.

Ever thought about putting on a private show for your partner, but don’t know where to start? These fun tassels are perfect for your *private entertainment*.
these beautiful satin peacock baby burlesque nipple pasties are by *goth fox designs* available on Etsy.
So the time has come…I’ve left my little creations in some other hands. The thought is exciting and scary all at once.
I think it’s amazing that when people go to the boutique they can see it right in their face, opposed to searching endlessly on Etsy to find one of my items. Don’t get me wrong I freakn’ love Etsy!!! I just wanted to try something different. So wish me luck in this new chapter.

Only a couple of weeks away. I can smell the pages in this new chapter in my life. So crisp and new, I can hardly wait to read them. But patience is one of my gifts. So things will happen when they do.
Imagine how wonderful life would be if I could start the thirties off in a dress like this…Well honestly my husband and my daughter make my life quite wonderful, the dress would just be nice.
Every Birthday since I could remember my dad has always given my sister and I one single rose. It’s so special, at it’s always something that I look forward to. Fushia and white are my favorite to receive.
Since I love arranging flowers, this vase would act as a great focal point for an all white arrangement.
There are soo many amazing photographers who sell their work on etsy. This is just one artist to start off with, Jacqleen Bleu.
I’m looking forward to the spring so I can take my baby girl to see the ocean. I feel so complete and at peace with everything when I’m sitting by the water. Could be because I’m a pisces, could be because of the salty breeze, or it could be because of the tranquility of the tiny waves rumbling over pebbles that makes me feel the way I do. It will always be a mystery I love exploring. Here is another photographer, Matt for she hit pause studios featured on etsy. He does polariod transfers. Such a retro and magical feel to these.
I’ve always loved the works of Austalian graphic designer Bec Winnel, aka My Charlie Girl. As it turns out we share the same birthday. Here is my all time favorite graphite illustration of hers, *Gisele*.
You can find her illustrations on etsy.
It’s been a sunny and enjoyable weekend, and now I’m looking forward to comfy and cozy time with my husband before the work week starts up again. These etsy finds are what I would love to be wearing during this sweet quiet time together… Top by fishermans daughter, leggings by bobelly and sleep set by sand maiden.
