<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It has been a crazy busy couple of weeks with the movie shoot, mini vacation to Great Wolf Lodge, multiple birthdays, and custom orders that I've barely had time to do anything else. But I did get some new jewelry photographed and I'm slowly adding it to my etsy shop. You can find some of these in my <a href="http://lilacpop.etsy.com/">Lilacpop shop</a> but if you are interested in purchasing a piece that's not there just comment or contact me at lilacpop.gmail.com.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Recharged Batteries

<div>I am sitting here with a nice big pot of french press coffee in my funky robin's egg blue coffee mug from the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/claylabdetroit">Clay Lab</a> listening to an <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">eclectic</span> mix on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">pandora</span> of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Beastie</span> Boys, Adele, Yeah Yeah <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Yeah's</span>, and Bitter:Sweet, and smelling the incense I bought in Ann Arbor reflecting on the past weekend. I feel like I totally recharged my batteries, made new connections, created new metal pieces, and found out I actually like soccer.<br /><br /><br /></div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCI5RUJZIAQlAY_G_6qoJQPE3MEZseH6QY0VEwSW0k1wI5lyECd6cnYmYcA4a02Nd8TjyxIrPFoVeVq_q4O8eP7bCaLFp_Nqa-K8G04xFr07NV-cgCEBP5mBFhpIy_oL7okBk08AjoU9vU/s1600/ann+arbor+art+center.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482650598143969250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCI5RUJZIAQlAY_G_6qoJQPE3MEZseH6QY0VEwSW0k1wI5lyECd6cnYmYcA4a02Nd8TjyxIrPFoVeVq_q4O8eP7bCaLFp_Nqa-K8G04xFr07NV-cgCEBP5mBFhpIy_oL7okBk08AjoU9vU/s400/ann+arbor+art+center.jpg" style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" /></a></p><div>Every Friday morning a group of parents get together and have breakfast together while our kids are in school. It's a great time to vent, chat, share ideas, and laugh. Last Friday was the last Friday before the kids all get out of school so to make it special we met up at <a href="http://www.cafemuseroyaloak.com/">Cafe Muse </a>in Royal Oak. It was a great time and amazing food! Vanilla bean waffles, egg scrambles with exotic mushrooms, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">boursin</span> cheese and truffle oil, and egg scramble with <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">ammoglio</span> sauce. AMAZING. Afterwards my friend, Julie and I drove to Ann Arbor to drop off my piece for the Alumni Show. After that we drove over to the Ann Arbor Art Center and dropped off new jewelry. Then it was shopping shopping shopping! We walked around Main street then wandered down to State and up Liberty. The store on Liberty with all the exotic clothes has converted half of their shop to a $15 and under zone. I got this amazing dress made from recycled pieces of silk and a really chunky thick black beaded necklace with this really unique wood clasp in the back. I wore it the next day and my friend Penny actually counted how many times I got compliments and we got up to about 18!<br />So yes, it was a good buy!<br /><br /><br /></div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJSRDX7FjUjmafVmm4oNgdBQ8eb5eLj2zL7pKpZiRq-VzGtSRJdsirnbpSQwfdJiMQpmvaFsemMFOAdOC1PzCcciE8VcV1WvnzuJVygonUz6KK4oCyNnzYkoItKcroWe14m8AIkcpRw9QD/s1600/new+dress+3.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482646673583744546" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJSRDX7FjUjmafVmm4oNgdBQ8eb5eLj2zL7pKpZiRq-VzGtSRJdsirnbpSQwfdJiMQpmvaFsemMFOAdOC1PzCcciE8VcV1WvnzuJVygonUz6KK4oCyNnzYkoItKcroWe14m8AIkcpRw9QD/s400/new+dress+3.jpg" style="WIDTH: 248px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a></p><div><br />I bought some incense from <a href="http://www.fallingwatermi.com/page/page/2878865.htm">Falling Water </a>that totally reminds me of college. Now my whole house smells just like my room in Ann Arbor. I drove by the house I used to live in too. Ah memories. Sometimes I wish I could go back and relive some of those days. I also pulled out my old portfolios filled with large charcoal drawings and came across some drawings of old roommates and friends when I got home. I didn't realize I still had some of those.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJSRDX7FjUjmafVmm4oNgdBQ8eb5eLj2zL7pKpZiRq-VzGtSRJdsirnbpSQwfdJiMQpmvaFsemMFOAdOC1PzCcciE8VcV1WvnzuJVygonUz6KK4oCyNnzYkoItKcroWe14m8AIkcpRw9QD/s1600/new+dress+3.jpg"></a><br /><br /></div><p align="center">After we got back I still had some time to make some jewelry.

We stopped at Catching Fireflies for their annual sidewalk sale and I got a big white purse to doodle on, a hand knit baby hat for some friends baby, and these awesome metal boxes with wings that hang for only $1 each.

It was so loud that our ears were ringing. We ended up having 3 Peach <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Bellini's</span> each.
