Yesterday didn’t quite go as planned but hey, I turned it into an opportunity to wear heels. When life hands you lemons, crush them with wedges, I guess. Lol (note the Absynia.com Nzinga bracelets on my wrist. As always) #Absynia #fashion #shoes #jewelry #Afrohippie

I don’t think I’ve shown off this gorgeous piece enough. So in case you haven’t seen it, here are some gorgeous photos of the Brya necklace, a gorgeous summer accessory. 

The Brya necklace is 28” long  but can be shortened when you order if you leave a smaller size in the “note to sellers” box.

I meant to do this MUCH earlier but I’ve been (thankfully) swamped with orders. 

A little over a week ago, I got to be one of the vendors for the Hartford Denim Company’s Pop-Up Market featuring the band What Cheer. 

It was absolutely amazing. 

Everything from the music, the gorgeous space, the food, the drinks but especially the awesome people and vendors. 

I was so happy to be a part of it and meet so many artistic and crafty people in my area. 

Some of my favorites (as pictured above): 

Hartford Denim and their handcrafted jeans.

Bowls made from vintage records

Wire and foam creations from artist Shelby Osbeck.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to grab the information for the gorgeous artist with the pin-up hair and retro bowls but I was able to get artist’s Shelby Osbeck’s contact info (shelbyosbeck@gmail.com) for ordering inquiries. Hartford Denim Company has an Etsy store, easily acessible through their website, as well as two Connecticut locations.

And while we’re discussing favorites, the set-up I did for this show, may have been one of mine. I think it’s because i got to bring out the Celebration collection, which is right now sitting at the front of Absynia’s Etsy shop looking simply gorgeous.  I’ll be bringing it to my next show (details coming soon) so you should definitely grab your favorites now- this collection is very limited edition!

Now, I’m off to explore this surprising little city. See you at the next Hartford event?
