THESE JEWELS ARE JUST FOR YOU

JEWELS JUST FOR YOU by Carolyn Attal

"Carolyn Attal, was born in the shadow of Bergdorf Goodman in New York City. So it comes as no surprise that sophisticated fashion, and the Yankees,

are both in her blood."


THIS IS SO TRUE!

"After more than 15 years in the fashion business, she started Jewels Just for You in 1996 and has been designing beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces. Each custom-made piece reflects her skillful eye for unique elements and her passion to create singular pieces of jewelry that are as individual as their owners."

I stole both these quotes from her website! In a charm-shell, Carolyn is a doll and her jewelry reflects her fervor and spunk for life . . .

. . . jam carries her Ribbon Mania, Steampunk & Wrap collections.

These are definitely Jewels Just for You as Carolyn makes one-of-a-kind pieces and caters to custom designing and bridal accessories as well.

JUST FOR YOU!

~ MOSS WREATHS ARE JAMMIN ~

JAM is the key to everyone's heart! What a precious moss wreath this jammer
made for the holidays!

It's magical around here - what a gorgeous day!

CALLIGRAPHY IS JAMMIN

IT WAS GREAT TO JAM CALLIGRAPHY!

Angels (aka: Nancy Pilgrim & Scottsdale's Calligraphic Society) sent us the sweetest calligraphist on earth!

~ Joyce Banks from Tempe Arizona ~

Joyce is the creator of BOOK GHOSTS - the daintiest and most fanciful book art that you can imagine . . . she came with one made for jam!


She makes these little whimsical haunters out of tea bags to live inside of books without marking the pages . . . she says, "next time you're at the library, consider inserting a beautiful book ghost of your own. You never know whose day you might brighten."

See! Magical Joyce!

Calligraphy was officially the first class that I took at jam . . . whoa, not easy! I did fall in love with it though . . . so addictive! I can not wait for her to visit again.

There are so many types of calligraphy . . . we worked on basic italic . . .

Me missing Miss Mack!

She called in the middle of our session to share her excitement in her new Labyrinth pieces - saying that she wished she was with us at jam everyday! I told her she is here more than she realizes - mixed right up in calligraphy class with us!
