Jewels Just for YOU

This is the jam! What's New with CMR Designs you ask!?

So much is new & upcoming for Caroline Rocha & CMR Designs!

They are getting prepared to move into a new warehouse space & anxiously awaiting the completion of their jammin website. They have a new store carrying their product & many more on the horizon.

Check out their newest cuffs - perfect for Fall!

CMR Designs have great fans! And guess what - you can expect to see lots of new designs from Caroline!

"Purses! We have been working many hours perfecting our bags. They are available on a very limited basis, but we are excited to offer them to more stores soon! Aside from cuffs, we also make belts and belt buckles."

Spread the jam because that is jammin news!

Of course an added benefit that we have received from jammin with Caroline & CMR Designs is the jammin promo they have given to all the jammers! 10% of ALL purchases made @ jam!

Caroline shared that as an artists she loves what she does because it is such an amazing thing to share with other people. "I love to be creative and impact others at the same time. Doing what I love is such a blessing and joy."

When we asked Caroline what the community should know about

CMR Designs, she responded with,

"Each and every piece is hand made & no two are alike. We place great value in that and we like to emphasize the artistic proponent of each piece."

"You are fantastic Shauna!! Love and appreciate seeing the love on your facebook! We love JAM!!" - Caroline Rocha, the artist, July 2011

(Make sure to follow CMR Designs on facey -

they are so hip & have great giveaways!)

Thank you Caroline! We absolutely love jammin with you! Thank you for making this wonderful world a prettier place with your creations!

CC'S IS JAMMIN

~Aunt CC is JAMMIN~

How fun to have these 2 darling nieces as your models!

No wonder CC’s mixes creativity, fun, fashion & uniqueness to create stylish handmade pieces for your little one.

CC’s was started in 2010 by Collyn Hawley, a newlywed, clinical interventionist for children with autism, & owner of a mobile spray tanning business. Growing up in a creative & very artsy family, "CC" began sewing at an early age. She remembers learning from & helping her mother sew quilts when she was just 8 years old.

CC is inspired by her two energetic and vibrant nieces, Ava & Mia. She takes her passion for fashion and love for children to create high quality customized pieces that are affordable.

"I am so excited to be a part of JAM. I can’t wait to take my ideas and make perfect outfits for your prince or princess!" - Collyn

What's New on Winifred Street?! Find out NOW!

What is new or up & coming on Winifred Street you ask?

Terry Parvan has a new line of cards all about SHE & what SHE can do. New covered vintage bottles. New heart shapes. New inspiration journals for doodling, writing, & more. This blissful heart has stayed very busy and continues to fill our love tanks!

For those of you that are already fans, you can expect to see more of the same goodies you love so much and also some additions using different textures using fabric, raw canvas, metals, wood. Between you and I . . . I heard heard Terry Parvan, founder and designing artist of Winifred Street saying that there could possibly t-shirts & posters with declarations in the future. Possibly canvas totes with declarations too!

We asked Terry where her love for what she does comes from, and she said, "I lose myself in the project and go with my flow. Creating is very calming, relaxing, energizing, stimulating, validating, promising, nurturing, forgiving." That would explain why we see all this in her work. Terry says, "I’m just a girl in the world who has something to share through words, quotes, art, heart."

Here is how you can embrace & support Terry's work: "Tell everyone, everyday about JAM and what happens there. Everyday is a new opportunity to spread your message, what you see JAM as evolving into, where it’s going. Don’t be afraid to shout it out. Those who matter don’t mind hearing from you and those who mind don’t matter!" That is Winifred Wisdom for you!

Beauty full Terry!

Rayetta's BUTTON Bags are JAMMIN with US!

Button Bags are JAMMIN

Handmade Buttons

Amy Wristlets ($22)

Baby Quilt ($64) & Diaper Bag ($59)

After many years as a stay-at-home mom, Rayetta Nathe started her business, rayetta’s homemade treasures, in 2008. Colorful, functional bags along with sweet baby quilts are Rayetta’s specialty. She enjoys using vibrant, contemporary fabrics to create unique, handmade creations.

Rayetta grew up in the Phoenix area with 3 brothers. When one of them was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, it was devastating news. As a result of being moved by the support of her brother’s community, she decided to volunteer locally to assist people affected by HIV. To combine her passions for sewing and helping others, Rayetta made the commitment to donate a portion of the proceeds from every bag & quilt to an HIV agency.

Rayetta lives in Peoria, Arizona. When not sewing, she enjoys working out, traveling and spending time with her family.

Whose Junque is this?

It's ours!!!

Thanks to Michelle Ramirez, the delightful talent from Coronado California! As pretty as this junque is, if you can imagine, Michelle is 100 x prettier. Her amazing sweet heart shines through in all her pieces, allowing us all to share in her spirit.

Michelle is a girl who grew up watching her Dad make jewelry and has followed in his footsteps....
She gets giddy when playing with rhinestones and glitter....
She loves beach living with her family during the day and crafting at night....
She can be found at her local flea markets treasure hunting quite often; and
She enjoys life's little joys...

Lovely Junque is where you'll find her handcrafted charmed jewelry and home decor pieces. She finds such happiness in creating personalized pieces for gift giving or that special occasion, so feel free to ask about that one of a kind trinket.

You can order your custom pieces from Michelle & have shipped right to your very own jam for pick up.

This junque will be JAMMIN around Arizona as it's found a new home with us.

Shauna: OMG yes, you speak my language! Thank you! You are a creative genius with all the right utensils and you've read all the right blogs and you know all the best places! And, you are a visionary and so very talented! Thank you x 100 Ricki. When people ask me what is in my toolbox right now, I say YOU!

Look at the brilliant Joy at jam tag invitations that feel from her fingers! This is them in the making . . . before the glitter even hit em! Ah, sigh, I love her.
