new look

October so far has been, well, a bit busy.  Thanks to the feature in Country Living Magazine I have been kept very occupied making *chalkboard* necklaces.  Along with all of that I have been working on new designs for the holidays.  Right now Im into the cuff bracelet...the perfect addition to any fall or winter look.

one year anniversary

This weekends events at SparkCon will mark the 1yr anniversary of the *chalkboard necklace*!!!  Thats right, I introduced it at last years SparkCon here in down town Raleigh NC.  What started as a fun experiment and kind of a quirky play on SparkCons street chalk drawing event actually turned into something.  Little did I know what would come of these little bits of personalized jewelry, but it's been a great year for them!  They will be making a return appearance this year at bazaarSPARK.

Come join all the festivities and check out Haden Designs at bazaarSPARK.
Saturday Sept 17th 10-6pm
Sunday Sept 18th 11-4pm
The bazaar will be right in the thick of it on Fayetteville st and Davies st, here in downtown Raleigh.

Hope to see you there!

What Fall has to bring...

I must say, Fall is by far the best time of year.  Looking forward to cozy clothes and boots, harvest soups, and of course a trip to the local Starbucks to get a Pumpkin Spice Latte-I cant wait! October is going to be a huge month for Haden Designs and its all starting with one of my Chalkboard Necklaces being featured in Country Living magazine!   Its a really great feature on personalized jewelry-and what better way to do so but with a mini chalkboard!

Check out my Etsy shop for the one featured and for lots more!

keeping secrets

Recently I had a request for a locket necklace. I am always collecting lockets to use in my designs. Here are a few I came up with...

Durham love and 15 min of fame

I've always had a love for Durham, though admittedly I don't get there as often as I'd like to take advantage of the yummie eats and eclectic shopping opportunities. Well, now is my chance! Durham's new visitors guide is out with the cities best places to check out and events to attend. It also features a picture of yours truly selling Haden Designs jewelry at last years Rock&Shop Market held at Motorco and Fullsteam Brewery!

feather light

I have gone full steam ahead with these earrings. They have been my go to style for the summer because you can wear them with anything!
