Regina Chang Jewelry At Bellefleur

New to Bellefleur: Regina Chang Jewelry!

The fabulous designer who won the title of best Jewelry 2010 in Seattle Magazine is gracing us with some of her beautiful, natural pieces. Regina uses gorgeous pieces from nature, including stones, coral and shells, to make her jewelry unique and truly one of a kind. Her hammered metal (silver or gold) earrings are easy to wear daily, and her prices will shock you (in a good way). Her shell jewelry (not shown, pictures can't do them justice) is my absolute favorite! As are her flat Japanese-pearl earrings--perfect for summer!
Regina will hold a trunk show on June 4th during our Spring fashion show--so make sure to save the date!

Tip 16 of 20 Shop Local

Happy Holidays is my goal. Each year I feel a mix of trepidation and exhilaration as the end of November approaches. I love the holidays! I love gift-giving! I love shopping! What I don't love: pressure, stress, drama, and a host of other holiday-related angst that comes along with the next month.

This year, I am simplifying and shopping local. Admittedly, there will always be things I have to go online for, or possibly (dread upon dread) to a mall for. But shopping locally makes me feel like I am giving in two ways:
1. I am supporting the small businesses around me, which feels amazing and I wish I could do more often.
2. I am finding small, quality gifts instead of a mass of generic, bath&body style pre-packaged gifts.

Plus, everyone loves opening a box from a small shop. It makes them feel more special, which is the best gift of all.
