May 16th marks the first annual Etsy Dallas Spring Bash at South Side on Lamar. Don't miss it! Be one of the first 50 shoppers and receive a free tote full of handmade goodies, coupons, and other fun items.

Since Tefi Designs is commited to making you smile, I'm including a free pair of handmade earrings in each bag! Between diaper changes and nursings, I managed to make 50 pairs of earrings with silver-plated hooks and glass flower beads - 25 blue and 25 green. The perfect accessory for Spring.

Aside from Tefi Designs, there will be over 40 local designers, crafters and artists at the Spring Bash. Shop for art, photography, soaps, jewelry, bags & purses, children's goods and so much more - all locally made. See you at the Bash!

Pixies, Peacocks and Dragonflies

New Designs for Spring
The past two months have been all about my newborn, Ian. But somehow I've managed to make a few exclusive necklaces and earrings. They are all One-of-a-Kind and available in my Etsy shop.

Never shopped on Etsy before? It is the marketplace for all things handmade. It's just like any other shopping site (Amazon, eBay, Anthropologie) where you will need to create a login and password. Sweet and simple!

Tefi Loves: The Brass Menagerie

The Brass Menagerie is a collaboration between Bria and Marco, two part-time jewelry designers living and working in Singapore. Their shop features sweet animal rings and laser-cut pendants in the form of long delicate leaves and peacock feathers. Our favorite is the birdy silhouette ring, pictured left. Also available in the shop is a large cocktail ring featuring a bling-bling diamond design.

The store name was adapted from Bria's favorite play, The Glass Menagerie, and Marco takes pride in their shop avatar featuring his sweet squirrel ring. Their jewelry-making relationship is a compromise, and according to the artists: So far, so good!

Baby Hiatus

Dear readers! I will be taking a month-long hiatus in January. My baby is due any day (minute?) now and I will be busy nursing and caring for a newborn over the next few weeks. My Etsy shop will remain open, but please expect shipping delays as I will not be able to check my email too often. Because of this, I am keeping all shipping and handling charges FREE until things get back to 'normal.' (Will they ever be?)

Thank you for a wonderful 2008 and for all of your love and support. Happy 2009 to you all!
