happy wednesday!


good evening ladies and gents.

this past week i got to spend a little time in the lovely amelia island!

it was a very lucky time, because

1. i got to go swimming in the ocean at night
and
2. one day, when i was trying to body surf (do. not. body. surf.), the giant-ass wave spun me around and made me choke on 5000 gallons of ocean water and i thought i was literally dying.
but i was victorious! and here to blog another day!

a cool thing about being away from the store for a couple of extra days, is when you get back everything looks different. we're constantly getting wonderful new things and it's refreshing to work in such a creative and dynamic space!

when i got to the store i immediately noticed our newest jewelry.

is kylie earlene grater of lawrence, kansas

and she is my earring queen.
i love so many of her things, but if i began showing the rings, (..sigh..) or the necklaces and bracelets, we'd be here all night, so i'll focus on just the earrings for now!

take a look at these lovelies.
(make sure to come in and see her pieces! they are b-e-a-utiful!)


earring dash

antler tip earring

bone earring

engraved wood ring earring

and look at these quartz studs. they're perfect! (and, not surprisingly, sold out)


stop by and see for yourself.


i hope everyone is having a good week!

bonjour bebe(s)!

i think we can all agree that we have a really kick ass jewelry section here at young blood and we have a new designer to add to the mix!


ashley buchanan's work is as playful and unique as it is beautiful.
(and she's local!)




i love the victorian silhouettes.



her craftsmanship is exceptional. these are pieces you would surely love wearing until...well, infinity!!! (and beyond!)



come see!

hope everyone's enjoying their weekend so far!

April Showers


...bring May flowers! April showers are also currently drowning my tomato plants :(

My project and treat to myself for finishing up the semester is going to be revamping a bicycle that I rescued from an ignominious end at the dump. It needs a lot of work, and has a kind of heavy frame, but I stumbled upon it while taking out the recycling and it was love at first sight. Yellow is my favorite color by the way, I had been talking about trying to find a non-mountain bike to bring up to the city to ride to work. It even has a peeling old sticker on the frame that says "adopted". Tell me finding it wasn't fate!


Since I'm going to have to replace the tires, I might snag a pair of Beatrice Holiday's recycled tire earrings (we've got several styles at Young Blood) to keep with the spirit. They're super stylish and lightweight so they won't drag on your ears throughout the day like a lot of statement jewelry.

Keep dry all!
