Tonight I attended a great MPLS event, RAW Artist at the Fine Line. Friend Christy Johnson showed her shadow boxes, prints and cards. Love Christy’s new Minnesota postcard collection!

I love seeing local art, but mostly I love finding local jewelers. I love accessorizing. Rings, necklaces, earrings. Tonight I met Jennifer Merchant and I have to say, her jewelry line contains some of the most cutting edge, beautiful, unique jewelry I have seen in a long time. She fuses layers of acrylic together with clippings from magazines laminated in between. I love my new layered ring with yellow stone (see photos below). Pretty sure I also HAVE to have a pair of earrings! I love meeting the designers of things that I buy.

Did I mention the event also had a fashion show? I don’t know how I could have had a better night: art, art and fashion, baby.
