My little blog has been in need of an update for a long while, and I’m so excited to pull back the curtain for the big reveal! This new space feels a lot more like me- it’s a clean design with tiny patterns (polka dots instead of stripes this time- I know, I’m growing as a person) and its packed with cool functions that I’m excited for you to discover.

One of my favourite new things is the “currently loving” feature- it’s like a mini tumblr inside of my blog. It lets me schedule updates into my sidebar without them being sent to my RSS subscribers- you can see them only by visiting the site. There’s a whole new about page, and the sidebar shows posts from my favourite categories! I’m so thankful to Freckled Nest developer Mandi for doing an amazing job on making everything work seamlessly.

To celebrate the new design, I’m giving away any necklace available in the Freckled Nest etsy shop!

Selling necklaces and knits was a big part of how I was able to quit my nine-to-five (you can read about it here) when I first started dreaming about a different kind of life for myself, and now all the original designs that helped make that happen are available along with these beautiful new pieces. Take a look!

“Penelope” Anchor with Turquoise ($21 )

This necklace was the inspiration for my new tattoo- photos to come when it’s healed :)

“Pola” Diamond Necklace ($21)

This piece was named for Marilyn Monroe in How To Marry a Millionaire. I love naming them!

“Jocelyn” Arrow with Turquoise ($19)

“Latika” Filigree Mandala with Rubies ($21)

My favourite part of the necklaces is that you can make them your own. I’ve always received notes from women who are concerned about a necklace length working for their body type, so all our necklaces are available in two lengths and we have a guide to help you choose. Both are long and one will be perfect for you.

The other change is that there are now gemstone accents that you can choose from to suit your favourite charm. I’ve sourced tiny, beautiful turquoise and ruby beads that can be added to any necklace- alongside the pearls & citrines that were already available.
