In other news…
I passed my Colored Stones written final (May 1) and lab class (April 18) and have a new credential in Colored Stones. One more course (a biggie called Gem Identification) is next and the last course to complete my Graduate Gemologist Diploma from GIA, the Gemological Institute of America. So keep and eye out for a special event in the Fall this year which will very likely be both the Fall Line Launch and Tina Needs to Buy a Microscope Sale.

Spring is here again and I can hardly believe it! This year feels different than most as I’ve been in transition literally since LAST March and living for the past 9 months in about 300 square feet and ‘camping’ with friends and family. In years past, the Spring Line collection revolved around a certain set of materials I was inspired by. This year’s inspiration is more about creating things that simply make me feel good. Since life handed out continuous transitions, I’ve been all about making things that bring me pleasure to make: bright colors, heavy metals with lustrous stones and simple pleasures to bring lightness to every day. So whilst my toilets are no longer running with hot water, and only a couple plumbing issues remain, I continue to create whimsical things in my studio that de-stress and give me all the good ‘feels.’ I hope they will give you the same good feelings!
Some dates to remember…
Wondering where I am? I’m wondering most of the time too! Still somewhat distracted by a condo remodel I’m shuttling between the boat on Lake Union and our wonderful friends and family who let us “camp” with them. It’s been a busy year and I’m not there yet!
In the meantime, there are a couple dates to put on your calendar!
Valentines Day is next Wednesday so stop by and find just the right zero-calorie, always fits piece of jewelry for that someone special in your life!
Spring Line Launch (yes, I’m still having creative ideas!)

Kristina Marie Designs Fall Line Launch Event and Reveal
Saturday, September 9, 2017
10 am – 5 pm
Libations and nibbles will be served!
Frequent gentle rocking and the seemingly constant roar of seaplane engines have been the backdrop of my imaginings as I somewhat reluctantly look toward Fall. I’ll miss the hot summer nights but also secretly love the crisp Fall air. Floating aboard Lake Union I’ve loved creating a look for Fall that incorporates the vibrant metallic hues of freshwater pearls, luminous Australian Moonstone and the industrial statement utilizing oxidized sterling silver, black diamonds and 18k yellow gold. Fall is that time we leave the lazy days of summer and revive our industrious nature. Join me as I debut my Fall Line and take you into the season ready to conquer!
Also at this event, see some of our bench jeweler Rick’s new work in anticlastic raising!

TEAM ZIZZOU – SEATTLE OFFICE
They say change is the only constant in this life, and some big changes are truly on deck! The kiddos are grown and off conquering the world so Don and I, looking to downsize, made an offer on a condo in Bremerton in January. Long story short, after making plans to move, the deal fell through until later in the summer.
Our 36 foot trawler has been moored on Lake Union in Seattle for a year and a half. It took literally months of work, but we put our life in storage and moved onto the boat for the summer! Going from 2400 sq. ft. to about 250 is an adjustment by anyone’s measure, but that’s what we’re doing.
This little hiatus in Seattle is also easing the transition for Don as he leaves private practice in Bremerton after 17 years to serve our veterans at the VA Hospital in Seattle and American Lake. My studio, for the first time in my career, is not where I live but located at the store. I have some early mornings ahead to reserve creative time before the store opens, but I’m enjoying the new rhythm of life and know these changes will spark some fresh ideas!
I continue my studies with GIA on board our vessel as I feel the gentle waves of Lake Union and listen to the seaplanes take off and land. We will be part time residents of Bremerton again soon, hopefully before Christmas!
Cheers,
Tina

———-
Thank you all my wonderful friends and customers for your love and support all year round and for allowing me the opportunity to take part in your special life events! I am looking forward to imagining new and exciting designs as I continue my studies through the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), and I hope you will remember my small business as your children and grandchildren are investing in jewelry for their life events.
As you celebrate the season I wish for you to give time and treasure to the charity of your choice, eat at locally owned restaurants, support small grocers, artists and retailers in your community. Shopping small does not necessarily mean you pay more, it just helps keep local dollars local, and that helps us all!
Merry Christmas!
Tina
