What has Harlequin&Lionhead been up to?

Friends of Harlequin&Lionhead, thank you for being supportive this year despite that at times I have been a bit too quiet online...

2013 has been a strange year. It was a difficult start for me at the beginning due to my health as some of you may have known. Then in the past September, my little Lionhead, Charcoal, passed away at 12 years of age. He had a good long life and the last 2 years of his life was filled with rosy moments with his young new companion, Roxy. Despite that I have been preparing myself for the day to come, it was just heart breaking and mind numbing to have to face it. Somehow it feels like the golden era of "Harlequin&Lionhead" has come to an end with the passing of both Toffee and Charcoal. It took awhile for me to become positive again, for the sake of Roxy and this new life growing inside of me. 

Yes, that is another update I have to give you, and possibly a very legitimate excuse for being so quiet on my blog and social media recently! I had a horrible first trimester constantly feeling sick and tired so a few shows were cancelled in the late summer and early fall. My mother decided to move to US to help me through my pregnancy, so I have been spoiled like a little girl again. It is a great feeling to be able to take some time off and focus at my family again. 

As my energy picked up again, I started working on a few jewelry projects for my friends and myself that I have been putting off, which you will see soon!

I feel truly blessed for the luxury of time I am given, the support of my family, the love and patience you have shown me all these years. Now I am not going to give up my jewelry line at all so don't worry! It is business as usual here except there will not be another trunk show for awhile...I am still designing jewelry, if not more than ever in order to distract myself from the anxiety of motherhood! You will see another post from me soon about my recent custom designed wedding rings for my NYC client. 

In terms of the existing line for wholesale and consignment, I am working with my usual production team in New York city so there will not be any delay. For custom orders, I will be working at my workbench until early spring. Should my schedule change, I will be posting updates on my blog and on my website with ample notice (fingers crossed everything will go as planned!) 

For retail customers, I have a good amount of stock available for the existing line so if you are planning on getting some gifts for this holiday, check out the selected items on sale in my store, and take advantage of the 10% off newsletter subscription promotion (sign up for my mailing list to enjoy it) or the free US domestic shipping offer available until end of this month. Also, I have added Fedex 2-day shipping option for US customers who are buying last minute gifts. Lots of things going on right now so come check on my blog often, or like my facebook page to keep in touch. 

As always, love and hugs from Harlequin&Lionhead. Thank you for being here.

Meet me on August 18 in Long Island!

You may have read from my homepage that I will be at a very meaning event on August 18. It is a fundraiser event for animals in need of adoption and the kind people who take care of them in the interim. 

Event: Fundraiser for Forgotten Friends of Long Island

Date: August 18, 2012 (rain date: Aug 19)
Time: 10am - 5pm
Location: Organic Farm - Garden of Eve
4558 Sound Ave, Riverhead, New York 11901
(At the intersection of Sound Ave and Rt 83/Northville Tpk)

Forgotten Friends of Long Island was established in the spring of 2008 as a rescue organization that would help the neediest animals in our municipal shelters. Their mission statement was to reflect the belief that all lives should never be forgotten. The folks at the organization decided to rescue the animal that was continuously overlooked by others or the one in need of medical care. They constantly host adoption events. Check out their website here.

Garden of Eve kindly offers their space for this coming fundraiser. For more info regarding the organic produce, click here.

For this special event, proceeds of all vendors' sales will help support the organization and their efforts. Harlequin&Lionhead and Bunnies Can Dream will be donating 20% of all sales. Bunnies Can Dream will bring some really cute animal silhouette pendant necklaces. See more here.

It will be a great day for the fans of Harlequin&Lionhead because I will be bringing rose gold plated samples, available at the event for great discounted prices.  There will be live music and great organic food. So come on and enjoy a lovely day with us!

Meet me in Dekalb Market, downtown Brooklyn

This will be my last show in August. I will be at the Dekalb Market this coming Saturday, August 20 from 10am - 7pm, showing side by side with Bunnies Can Dream (my other shop) and MyCinta, a talented jewelry maker who makes customizable lucite bracelets and rings.

Come visit us and enjoy the lovely Dekalb Market. 

Meet me - Updates

Earlier I posted that I will be at Northside Market this Sunday. Well, there are some changes so please note.

Northside is closing unexpectedly early this summer so this coming Sunday, instead of in Brooklyn, I'll be at Astoria Market showing with my friend, the amazing illustration artist and art history professor, Jessica of Hans My Hedgehog. And, instead of leading with Harlequin&Lionhead jewelry, I'll be showing a little more of the pieces from my other shop, Bunnies Can Dream.

If you are looking forward to the Harlequin&Lionhead collection, no worries, I'll be at the Dekalb Market downtown Brooklyn on August 20 instead! And there may be a little more items to see from Harlequin&Lionhead. I'll have not only the rose collection in brand new rose gold, the gold plated rings will be super thick and beautiful. And, I may even have a few items from the mysterious and elusive recycled silver collection available then. I'll post the details to that show later.

Now, a sneak peak at the new Harlequin&Lionhead poster! This is a walnut wood veneer on foam board, with silver color embossing on top. All handmade :D

Meet me on August 7 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Finally, Harlequin&Lionhead will lead my next show and it is going to be in Brooklyn! The market is called "Northside Market", the newest and hottest market in Williamsburg, one block away from the beautiful East River waterfront decorated by the skyline of Manhattan.

Check out this indoor air-conditioned market with great food, music, and great quality handmade products.

Date: August 7, 2011 (Sunday)

Time: 10am - 6pm

Location:
135 Kent Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11211
(Corner of North 6th and Kent Ave)

The location is accessible by Subway:
Take the L train to Bedford Avenue. Walk NW along 7th Ave and turn left at Kent Ave towards 6th Ave.

This is a little map to help you along.

Interesting things to watch out for:

Check out my partner of the day, Hans My Hedgehog. It was created by Jessica, an art history professor and an amazing illustration artist. The theme of the line is "menagerie." Each pencil illustration takes between ten and twenty hours to complete. The line includes archival quality giclée prints and deluxe notecards with illustrated liners in the envelopes. They are great gifts for any occasion! Come say hi to both of us on Sunday!

Last time I was at the market, I discovered DUB Pies from New Zealand which is probably the best food I've had from various markets in NYC. And possibly the best pie on the go. Also try Eton's hawaiian shaved ice right outside the market. 

Want to touch and feel my jewelry? Come see me on May 1!

I'll be showcasing my jewelry at the Lexington Craft Fair at Jackson Heights NY on May 1. I won't be selling much as quantity will be very limited. But come visit and take a look at the jewelry and let me know what you think. They will be showcased at the booth of Bunnies Can Dream. That's my other store which features jewelry that's colorful and rich in texture.
