Introducing: YazBerry Jewelry Collections - Meet the Twins!

I have been carefully building up a body of work in jewelry design and construction the past 6 months or so. I am continuing to design daily and wanted to present to you some of the collections I am developing. The next few blog posts will highlight one of my collections.

First up: Meet the Twins!

The Twins! Collection features perfectly mismatched earrings, predominantly made from found and rescued materials. I carefully pair these with new components to create mismatched yet balanced pairs. Tiny little sculptures you can wear. Tending towards the fun and playful side, many are bold and colorful. Also, peppered throughout you can find elegant pairings as well. Most of the twins are available for purchase both on my Etsy store and on my facebook page. You choose :) Some have found homes and some are in some of the stores I sell at in Newfoundland. Inspired by a pair of twins but too big/not your colors? Let me know what you would like and I would be happy to design a custom pair of twins for you!

YazBerry is on NTV with the Water St. Variety Community Market

Check out our story on Newfoundland Television (NTV) starting at 16:20 minutes. Virginia Berry-Phillips is pictured and YazBerry Jewelry appears during the story as well. Don't want to wait 16 minutes to view the story? Here is the exact clip of our story.

This month YazBerry, along side other artisans, crafters and purveyors of fine vintage and new goods, has been selling handmade and vintage jewelry at the new Water St. Variety Community Market. This is a new weekend market in downtown St. John's, NL. We will be taking a break in January, hosting a Valentine's gift buying market in February and hope to pick it back up full time in March. YazBerry will likely participate 1 - 2 weekends per month in the new year. Check in in March to see when YazBerry will be at the fair.

New Water St. Variety Flea Market Opens in St. John's

Lucky you, every weekend from now forward, you can poke for treasures at a new flea market in St. John's. Water St. Variety is hosting a Saturday & Sunday weekly market upstairs of the store. They are accepting new vendors too so if you have cool loot to vend, contact the store (more info on their facebook - linked above).

Even luckier you, if you are in St. John's you will be able to shop for YazBerry live and in color at the December 7-8 market. YOU ARE INVITED (join me on my Facebook event page ;) ) Depending on how this goes YazBerry may be at more future markets too! Of course you can always shop online or at my home studio near the Village Mall by appointment.

Still not convinced on how lucky you are? Feast your eyes on this handmade in Newfoundland, outport desk! I scored this at this flea market on Saturday. There are some treasures to be had. I've warned you ;) And it expects to grow each week! So keep coming.
