I have decided to sublet some studio space that I have at the shop. I am looking for an artist or crafts-person who is looking for some room to grow as well as product placement opportunity in the store. Ideally this will be someone who lives locally, and of course who’s craft will fit in with the shop’s other offerings. I also have storage space that would come as part of this package. The lease would be a tenant at will, so their would be no long term commitment. Please contact me directly either at the store 978.463.3077 or through email kimgobbi@jonesysjewels.com . Pass this on to whomever you think might be interested!

Anna Jaques had a great campaign for digital mammography that featured local women business owners. This was my ad (I think there was major use of photoshop!) that appeared in yesterdays newspaper. Special thanks to Jennifer Karin from Company Public Relations who was nice enough to include me in this wonderful Public Service Campaign. Now everyone go out and get a mammogram!

Now this is nice. This is what Fall in New England should feel like. It was a beautiful sunny day and it hovered around 62 – 65 degrees. PERFACT… I am really a happy girl! The rest of the week doesn’t look too bad either… Stop by to see my smile!

If you have been anywhere near Newburyport this week, you know it’s Yankee Homecoming. For the shop, that means that our regular customers are frustrated with the lack of parking and the crowds, but for many it’s a chance to discover us for the first time. Also we have LOTS and LOTS of things on Sale this week, stop down and see us. Especially on Thursday, Friday and Saturday for the Sidewalk Sales. And if you are around tomorrow, please come by and check out The Studio at the Yankee Homecoming Fashion Show. Two of our sales clerks, Becca and Rachel will be modeling our clothes and jewelry. Also we will be outfitting this years Master of Ceremonies, Clair McCarthy from North Shore Magazine.

On Friday we got in these beautiful jewelry stands. They look like little tree branches and the middle branch lifts off so that you can store rings or bangles on it. We love them for their rustic charm and intrinsic beauty, the use-fullness of such a pretty object is just icing on the cake. I took one home and it looks so cute on my make-up table stocked with Jonesy’s Jewels.

My son Drew (in the center of this photo) won a local honor last week. In celebration of Peace Month, Newburyport gives out a “Peace Prize” to one boy and one girl from each school. Drew was nominated by his teacher and a panel picked him as the recipient of the award for the Kelley School. We were so happy to have both Grandmothers, and our good friends the Dwyer family with us to celebrate. The kids all wore their “Stop Wars” T-Shirts from Clothing for the American Mind, they looked awesome! What a perfect night. We are so proud!

I swore I was not going to carry a line of candles, but then I went to visit my friend in Brooklyn… We walked into a shop in her trendy little neighborhood and smelled the most wonderful scent. Soft and somehow a little sexy, I was in love. I am still hooked on the black current, but the others we got in are heavenly too. We’ve been burning them in the shop, so stop down and inhale!

I mentioned in an earlier porst that I am closing the shop this week, to spend the vacation week with my kids. The store will resume our normal hours on Saturday February 24, 2007. Look for new posts staring again next weekend (Feb. 24th). I will be previewing some of my finds from the Buyer’s Market of Fine Craft. Philadelphia was COLD, but the show as beautiful and I found some great new artists for the shop. Stay tuned!

It’s looking a little scary out there! For those of you hoping to get and buy that last minute gift, I am going to try, but can’t promiss that we’ll be open later this afternoon. There is good and bad to living and working in downtown Newburyport. We have no driveway and there is a parking ban, so our cars are in the lot a few blocks away, but I can walk to work, so I guess that works. As soon as it stops snowing and I see a car or two on the road I will head out. If in dout, call the shop at 978 463 3077, if I answer, we’re open!

My last teacher gift suggestion are these charming matchbook notes ($2.75 each or 4 for $10) from Egg Press. They are a “A handy and stylish place to jot your notes, you can choose to either tuck these tiny matchbook notepads into a pocket or purse, or simply dress up your desktop.” I can’t think of anything a teacher needs more than a cute little note pad!
