Crafting A Baby’s Room…

Posted on 16-06-2013 by Shanna

Today on The Etsy Blog, Get the Look Decor: Welcome to the Jungalow, I found a divine piece of baby room inspiration. I am loving Justina Blakeney’s nursery design–it mixes just the right amount of whimsy and magic and is sweetly eclectic:

While we’re at the very early stages of a renovation (to all be finished by November!?), I’m beginning with clearing out my ol’ craft room/office/jewelry studio. We did just make our first major baby room purchase… This modern, gray Hudson Babyletto crib:

Followed by this sweet bed canopy:

And a while ago, I’d found this ’50s vintage paint-by-numbers collie, that made me so nostalgic for my own childhood (it reminded me of happy times at my grandmother’s house), that I had to snatch it up to look over and protect our little one. (I hope he or she loves dogs as much as we do! Ours will be so excited to meet him or her!)

And finally, I just found these gray chevron curtains…

I hope it will all come together with a blend of modernism, retro mid-century design, and eclectic touches. I’ll continue to share as our little one’s new space evolves! (And soon, we’ll know if a little girl or a little boy will be joining us!)

As I continue downsizing my crafting space and jewelry studio to make room for baby, check out my 50% off studio clearance sale!

50% Off Studio Clearance Sale & News!

Posted on 08-06-2013 by Shanna

At noon today, a HUGE SALE will start in my Etsy shop! I’ll be having 50% off select items–and they are some good ones, too!

I’m in a state of transition, and therefore, so is my studio! It will actually be a nursery by this fall!! We’re due with our first kiddo in November! I’ve taken a new full-time job as well in website and social media management and between that, the sweet, new addition, and Nostalgia Film, our Super 8 wedding & event filmmaking business, SoCoDivka Designs will go on hiatus late this summer/early fall.

So get these close-out jewelry pieces while you can!! Thank you for all the support! xoxo

Pocket Fishrmen Fish Fry Benefit for the Hicks Foundation for Wildlife: Silent Auction

Posted on 16-04-2013 by Shanna

I’ve never had the pleasure of attending one of the annual Pocket Fishrmen’s Fish Fry Benefit for the Hicks Foundation for Wildlife, so this year when I heard about it, I had to donate something! Bill Hicks and wildlife are among two things very close to my heart, so I was jumping at the chance. I created the necklace below for the occasion. Details of the event follow.

5th Annual Pocket Fishrmen Fish Fry Benefit for the Hicks Foundation for Wildlife

Sunday, April 21st at The Scoot! Doors and Music start at 4:00

This year’s whale of a line up features:

The Hickoids – Just back from their Euro-Corn Tour
Churchwood – 10:00
Purple Stickpin – 9:15
Pocket Fishrmen – 8:30
El Pathos – 7:00
Egypt – 7:00
Solid Goat – 6:15
Dickins – 5:30
Shinta – 4:45
and Party Wizard!

Fun for all ages includes a silent auction of local arts, jewelry, fashions, goods and services. Artsy fun stuff, games and face painting for the kiddos.

The Hicks Foundation will bring this spring’s recently rescued little critters and everyone’s favorite Kitchi the WOLF! So, there’ll be plenty to howl about!

Come out and celebrate the wildlife on Earth day!
