Artisans of Houston presents A Fair to Remember

On October 23, 2010 from 10am to 3pm Artisans of Houston will be having their 2nd annual A fair to remember at Bethany Christian Church 3223 Westheimer Rd.. Amaria will be there ready with some new goodies just in time for holiday shopping. Come on out and support your local artisans!

Feeling Red

My family took a trip to Italy this summer and I was inspired by all the fabulous vibrant colors. Inspired by the red and gold seen on these Roman "soldiers", I decided to make this red coral cluster bracelet with pyrite accents. I also fell in love again with Chair of Saint Peter by Gian Lorenzo Bernini at St. Peter's in the Vatican.
The colors used on these masks from Venice are also a source of inspiration. I have so many ideas floating in my head I just cannot keep up with them. Stay tuned for more designs!

White Linen Night in the Heights

I had such a great time this past saturday at White Linen Nights in the Heights! It was super hot and humid but fun at the same time if that is possible! I met such great people!!!!! Had no idea how big this show was as it was my first time participating. It is estimated that 30,000 people passed through WLN!!!! Not sure how many came through the artisan market but it was the largest show I have ever participated in. I will certainly plan on participating again next year!
I loved that some of my previous customers came back and made a point to say hello and tell me how much they have enjoyed their Amaria pieces! Makes me sooo happy!!! So many Artisans of Houston came by to say hello too! Love the support! Thanks everyone!!!

Summer Film- Eat, Pray, Love

Can't wait to see this movie but first I need to read the book! Has anyone read the book? Thoughts?

Busy Bee

I have been busy looking at my lil' biz and deciding where I want to go with it. I am currently looking at different woman's charities to donate to and trying to decide which ones line up with my vision or mission statement for my company. In the meantime, I have also been busy designing away and getting ready for the upcoming fall seasons. I have many projects going on and trying not to get too distracted. Wish me luck! Oh and if you have any suggestions on women's charities, I am looking for a international/global one and a local ( U.S. ) one. Suggest away! Thanks!

Ladies & Gentleman I will be teaching a basic beading class at Sheny Designs 1740 Sunset Blvd. Houston, TX 77005 on Friday June 25, 2010 from 6:00pm to 8:00 pm. I will be supplying all materials and the COST is $50. You will leave with your own unique jewelry and jewelry making supplies!
So gather your friends, grab your favorite bottle of wine, and get ready to create a beautiful piece of jewelry!
After enjoying the company of your friends and some wine, you'll be ready to go out in style, wearing the gorgeous piece you just made!

Hope to see you there!
And remember to invite your friends!
