Echoes of the Universe / Namaste / Tree of Life

Ever have a feeling like the universe is listening to you and things happen that reflect that?  And you stop for a moment and say hmmm...I was just thinking that or you had just been talking about it or reading about it...

First it was the dream catcher.  I saw the bracelets online and wanted to make one but didn't have time then a few weeks ago I saw that my nephew had a dream catcher hanging in his room, which used to be MY room growing up and I had my own dream catcher.  SO I finally made the dream catcher charms....



Then I was talking to my husband this weekend about making tree of life pendants because I saw them on Pinterest.  BUT I used to make wire trees, years ago, they looked like this...I remember teaching my co-workers to make them for a fundraising basket we were putting together.  I loved these trees.


But my husband is Jewish and said it was perfect I'd make tree of life pendants because there is a Jewish holiday Tu b'shevat (it was in January).  I had no idea what he was talking about since I'm not Jewish.  All I did was come across a picture on Pinterest and I remembered how I made and loved these wire trees.  I thought if I could make those big trees, how easy it would be to make a pendant?  

The thing is every thing just connected, the photo, my memory, my husband (who is my love), his religion, my love of trees...Life is all connected.  Or should I say LOVE is all connected.  So I made them and I love them and I'm going to make more.



And lastly, a month ago my body was so tight and achy and I knew what horrible posture I've had since having my baby.  I rolled out my yoga mat (not that I really do yoga).  I needed to stretch my chest muscles so I could really breathe.  I needed to lengthen my torso so the muscles that were pulled apart for my c-section could start being "okay" again.  I needed yoga.  I pulled out my ipad and used the yoga app I have and did really basic poses, because I am SO not flexible.  But it felt wonderful.  Then I got busy and stopped but then I started up again.

Well about two months ago I added charmed bracelets to my etsy store.  Hello Kitty, Hamsa, Buddha, Om, Four Leaf Clover.  Just this month I've had people starting to buy the Om charm.



I just got an order from a woman who wants to give them to her bridesmaids as a gift and she signed her message to me:

"Thank you, Namaste,"


:-)  That's awesome.  The universe is speaking to me for real and I'm listening.

Namaste <3

Xoxo, Yolanda

Hand Stamped Metal Jewelry

One of FancifulWish 's best sellers (when I have the time to make them) are my hand stamped metal jewelry.  I like the act of pounding a metal stamp into a piece of metal.  Maybe it's stress relief?  I bought my first kit from Beaducation .  And yes I started off with a kit because I didn't know what went into metal stamped jewelry.  I would have taken a class from my local jewelry store but I was at home with a newborn with no babysitter, so learning on my own was the way to go. Now I will warn you - making hand stamped jewelry is NOT cheap.  You can get away with using a hammer you have at home to pound your letters into your metal but the letters themselves are pricey.  I've only managed to collect 5 different types of letters, 3 of them the same font in different size with numbers included. The other a different font in lower and upper case sizes.  And then there are punctation stamps and design stamps....not cheap.  Alphabet set stamps can run you from $

What's New: Paparazzi Accessories

It's been awhile! Being a stay at home mom of two has really been something else.  I thought I was busy with one, but with two, it's been on another level of madness. All of this busy-ness means I haven't had time really to work on my Etsy shop.  It's still open but I've kept hammering metal to a minimum. So for now I took the jump into a new venture.  I just signed up to be Paparazzi Accessories independent consultant.  Yup...who knew, after making my own jewelry for $5 years that now I'm selling jewelry designed and manufactured someplace else. What is Paparazzi Accessories exactly?  It's jewelry at the sweet price of $5 and that's hard to come by.  The products are designed in the USA but manufactured in China.  I own a bunch of their earrings - I'm a sucker for hoops, large and small.  And I love their stuff! I call my shop Leylah's Jewels - which is a play/combo on my children's names.  We'll see how things go, so far it&
