There’s a lot happening right now at Saressa Designs. More often than not, the days here start early, and end early….the next day. Though hard work can feel defeating at times, in hind-sight it becomes weightless once the payoff is exposed. With that being said, I’m bursting to share some news with you!
Earlier in the Summer, I had the opportunity to send a piece of jewelry, in association with The Artisan Group, to the wardrobe stylist of The Vampire Diaries to be considered for use in Season 5. I’m so excited to announce that my submission was chosen!
Be on the lookout in November for my Dew earrings in Lapis, worn in episode 5 by Caroline (Candice Accola)! If you want an idea of how excited I was to get the news, this should do the trick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3awzmKZaAE

Happy Friday!
Happy August! I’m kicking off this month with some fun news to share. Saressa Designs is headed to NY Fashion Week! My Arrow necklaces are going to be included in The Artisan Group’s celebrity swag bags at GBK’s NY Fashion Week Luxury Lounge, taking place Sept 6th-7th. Want to win one for yourself? Stay tuned as I’ll be giving one away this weekend with my first ‘share it to wear it’ post (on Facebook)!
I hope you all are having a fantastic Summer!

So, it has officially been FOREVER (well, months really) since I last posted an update here. I have always been a less-than-stellar writer, and I'm fairly certain that the good Lord did not put me on this earth to blog (or dance. I have no doubt that I could freeze hell over with my attempts to bust a move). Though I have been quiet on the blog/newsletter front, there still has been some action taking place over here at Saressa Designs. It has been a non-stop party locally, and there are some other big things on the horizon. Here is what's new.....ish.
First of all, let me get the mini-bummer out of the way. Months ago I received confirmation that my Ice Age necklace was going to be used on this season of True Blood (along with a few other pieces from fellow Artisan Group members). This is still happening, but will likely be delayed until season 7. Season 6 is going to be extremely intense (and shorter than usual), and if you plan to watch you will get an idea of what I mean. I will disclose more info as I'm allowed to, so I apologize for the vague explanation. Waiting is the hardest part!
Over the last few months Saressa Designs has found a home in some new shops! You can now find lots of the pieces from my online collection, as well as pieces uniquely designed for some of these shops. If you live in the area, or ever plan to pass by or visit, you should stop in and check out these shops. They're all fantastic!
The Ruddy Duck - Hood River, OR
Converge - Depot Bay, OR
The Wild Trillium - Benton, IL
Willows - Vancouver, WA
For all you locals, Saressa Designs will be returning to the Sandy Mountain Festival this year! This is the only show I plan on vending at until the holiday season, so plan to stop on by and visit! The festival takes place on July 14th-15th, in the gorgeous Meinig Park in Sandy, OR. You can get more details here: http://www.sandymountainfestival.org/. Don't be deceived by the webpage either. This event is really outstanding, with lots of activities for kids as well.
Stay tuned because I have some more fun announcements coming! I'll give you one hint: Fashion Week.
I hope you all have a fantastic Summer!
Thanks to everybody who weighed in on which necklace I should send to the wardrobe stylist for The Vampire Diaries. It was such a hard decision to pick just ONE design to send. I put a lot of thought into my choice, which was influenced by all my voters (especially the ones who are die-hard fans of the show). In the end, my 'bleeding love' necklace was the one chosen. It's headed to TVD and hopefully will find a home around the neck of one of the amazing characters (though I intend it for a specific person on the show).
In all honesty, I named this necklace 'bleeding love' with a specific person in mind; my mom-in-law. Ruby is her birthstone, so when I first put this piece together, I was trying to think of something she would treasure. I was also inspired by her never-ending love for her family and all she does constantly to show us that love.
So, with that said, let's see how many varieties of love stories this bad boy can inspire! :)

Exciting news! The Artisan Group has had another amazing opportunity in the works and I am thrilled to be a part of it. Leigh Leverett, the wardrobe stylist for The Vampire Diaries, is going to receive a collaborative bag of hand crafted accessories from a few of us Artisan Group members. One of those goodies is a necklace from Saressa Designs. These accessories could appear on upcoming episodes! Which one of these necklaces could you imagine seeing on the show? I've narrowed it down to 4, but am having a tough time committing to one. Do you watch the show or know someone who does? Which one could you imagine on Elena, Bonnie, Caroline or any of the ladies in the show?
If you want to cast your vote, and simultaneously earn a chance to win one of these lovely necklaces, head over to my Facebook page (http://facebook.com/saressadesigns) and leave a comment under the photo! I'm choosing a winner on Friday, 10/12/12, so head on over this week and let me know your opinion. I would LOVE the help :).
