I love (I mean, love) my job. Today, I have some sweet goodness to share…
When Media Maison contacted me with an amazing opportunity for betsy & iya, I felt super duper flattered, took a deep breath and proceeded to gather, design, and create 200 pieces for possible use on the 3rd season of Model Latina in NYC. It was a mad rush, but I am so happy we managed to make it happen. …That was a few months ago.

After the awesome Adrienne So from Cool Hunting did such a great post on betsy & iya, my little world here has blown up. In a time when things in the retail world usually come to a screeching halt…it’s almost like I’ve been launched into an alternate holiday universe with flashing purple lights and never ending sparklers. You guys, this is fun!
I’ve received a fair amount of new inquiries from (rad) places I didn’t even know existed: wholesale, international blogs, magazines in Greece (one of my favorite places in all the world)…but my most treasured correspondences are with the individual people who come to me with orders, questions, praise, etc. Something different:
This last press post has inched the men closer in my direction; and not just for their women, but for themselves. I LOVE this. Not just because they’re men and I love men, but I’ve always wanted a man to want my jewelry for himself—-this time around I’ve been asked by several to create a men’s line. COOL, right!?!! Let’s just say—it’s in the works. and I’m SO excited.
One of them went so far as to send me links to things that accurately represent his style. And I really like his style. I was introduced to Mr. Jones Watches. In fact, I think I want one for myself and I’m not even in to wearing watches.
Maybe W will see this post and run off to Mr. Jones for the next holiday!? Oh wait… aren’t we still in one? W??
I am so very grateful for the ever increasing interest in my work and the call to push me even further. I plan to meet you there and then keep on running. Thank you, everyone.

Hi lovelies! It’s me, Lupe, the assistant extraordinaire. I am commandeering the blog while Betsy is in New York. Since she’s off having fun without us, I’ve decided there’s only one thing to do…have a party! That’s right, I’m throwing a “Boss-is-out-of-town” party. Okay, so the name is a little cumbersome, but you get the idea.
I’ll be opening the shop on Thursday night (July 2nd) from 5-9 pm. There will be wine, snacks, music, and best of all……15% percent off everything in the store!! I’m inviting all my girlfriends (and some fabulous boy friends as well). So come join us and bring your friends, I’d love to meet you all!
We’re located at 1722 NW Raleigh St., Suite 104. (Right on 17th, between Quimby and Raleigh)
(btw, Betsy has been more busy than anticipated and regrets that she’s neglected this here blog for the last week; she plans to resume dedicated blog activity within the week, so STAY TUNED!)
