Fall and Winter Collections 2010

For this upcoming season, I have been inspired by the designs and styles of the 1950's and 1960's era. I am working on two distinctive collections.  The first style, I call Retro Funk, and is everyday casual costume jewelry, with a 1960's Mod  look. I am incorporating  fun and unusual vintage lucite beads, with chunky brass and copper and silver beads and chain. The second one is Vintage Glam....... quite glitzy,  Hollywood inspired  but with a modern edge. Think of your Grandmothers sparkly, rhinestone jewels that have seen better days, and imagine creating a similar  new design that will work with todays fashions!  I have used rhinestones, crystals, and pearls, with some fabulous, rare, vintage findings to create some fabulous contemporary pieces that will look great over the Christmas Holiday season....and even look wonderful when worn casually with jeans. Mix it up!! 

 So once again I hope to post photos for you soon, however I still cannot upload pictures to this blog. I believe that it is due to the MAJOR trouble we are having with our  satellite internet service provider, and our speeds currently being very slow. My husband has spent countless hours talking to these people, and service does not seem to be in their vocabulary!  What happened to the good old days, when someone would come out to your home and fix your problem??? Anyhow...who knows when that will be back to normal, it is a very SLOW process! So keep checking my  Hotrocks Facebook page  for photos, as I seem to have better luck uploading images there. Pin It

My Tagalongs

Last week I was shopping in the big city and I bought this!

What the......?????

Well this is pretty cool, you unroll it,

velcro the back together and voila!

You have a chic sunhat! One that doesn't get crushed into a pancake shape while in your suitcase, and can easily pop into a backpack or purse. How cool is that?!

So you are probably thinking, " Well yeah...but Susan it is the middle of winter in Canada right now, why did you just buy yourself a sunhat?" Well, I am counting down the days, 21 to be exact, until I leave this snowy land for Florida, where I will then board a fabulous cruise ship and spend the next two weeks cruising around the southern and eastern Caribbean Islands! I know...you probably hate me right now. My husband and I planned this trip about a year ago, and our 11 year old son is coming too, so it will be a great experience for him as well. Anyhow, back to the hat. It is made by a company called My Tagalongs, and they specialize in fashionable, practical accessories, like purse organizers, (check these out they are great!)

They also have eco-chic totes, womens'personal emergency and travel kits for your bag, and travel accessories.
