Where or Where is Ali.O?

Its been a long time since I have last posted and figure I owe an explanation. I took a new job 2 1/2 years ago....a very important one of MOM. Since then I have seen my time to work on jewelry dwindle yet I have enjoyed the first smiles, first steps, first words, and now enjoy my days at the beck and call of a very sassy yet very sweet toddler!!! I work on jewelry when I can, when I need a creative outlet, and when I feel like I need to do some thing for ME (and all of you!).

This new lifestyle along with the addition of two miniature donkeys (Bottega and Veneta), two miniature horses (Coco and Chanel) which we acquired for our daughter's 2nd birthday has drastically changed the amount of time I have to work on jewelry. Not all at a bad time either as I have seen many of my favorite boutiques (who I both sold to and shopped at) close due to the economy. I get stressed at times feeling like I need to be producing and selling more then I realize I am enjoying the most important job in the world in raising my daughter.

With this new life change, I will also be changing my work and business. I plan to offer more one of a kind or limited pieces rather than production pieces, we are working on a new website now which will allow me to post pieces as they are finished, and my work will be offered at fewer stores.  So, stick with me and check back often to see where Ali.O goes from here......

xo,
Ali
ps. Two pieces that will be posted soon but will not for sale: a custom piece to be worn at the Grammys and a piece for the LIED table inspiration auction!!!!
