week 50 - go big or go home

so, you know the saying 'go big or go home'? well that pretty much sums up mesh for tonight!

one of our 2011 goals is to dedicate time to press and publicity. logically, the next natural action step is to send mesh goods to both oprah and michelle obama (would you expect anything less?).

michelle's necklace :: mrs. o is getting a lot of attention for the vintage broaches she has been sporting. therefore we've designed her piece around a 50s stunner we found at an antique booth last year. the teal accents on the broach will beautifully compliment her skin tone, and the necklace can be worn both with a jcrew cardigan or a cocktail dress.

oprah's necklace :: to celebrate her 25th year on television we knew we needed to do something BIG for oprah. we've created a longer piece for oprah; made with aquamarine, rock crystal, and a massive chunk of labradorite to tie it all together. rarely do we fashion a triple strand of beads...but for oprah there is no holding back.

so, wish us luck as we put these pieces in the

mail this week...and stay tuned for news! you will either see mesh on the entertainment tonight broadcast or....well, at our next home show. either way we'll be thrilled!

week 38 - holiday traditions

with the holidays upon us, family traditions are in full effect...there is nothing better than listening to kenny rogers christmas carols with my parents or making the ever so famous mahoney irish creme with my husband's family.

as we all know, it is hard to find dull moment during the holiday season, which is what makes it the perfect time of year to be thankful for what we have surrounding us. it is so easy to get caught up in the logistics of gift buying for a handful of relatives that have everything they would ever need; cooking for a house full of people with different taste buds; or getting your christmas mailers out before you miss the USPS deadlines for delivery.

while this season maximizes potential for the inevitable family drama, it also creates extreme opportunities for memorable moments with the people you so rarely spend an entire day vegging out with. be thankful for all of the sensational gifts, food, and christmas cards you receive; and realize that everyone you have gifted, fed, and mailed to is thankful to have you as a part of their lives.

at the risk of getting too emotional for the monday night mesh blog, just remember to enjoy everything the holiday season brings!

week 7 - home|show prep!

well, here we are in week 7 of our monday night kitchen table blog! thank you for continuing to read about our latest and greatest endeavors. our facebook page seems to be taking mesh fans by storm, as we now have 85 whole people following our every post, and we couldn't be more thrilled!

this week we are in mass production mode...not as in making a bundle of the same thing on a production line...but as in taking every little and large trinket out of the credenza and making something of them.

we have a home|show coming up on saturday (shout out again to nici and the ladies of plainfield) that we are prepping for, along with a handful of other home|show events coming in the summer months. why not start off your summer right with a girls night in and mesh?! contact us to get on the growing list of sale locations. we can't wait to see you!
