Exciting News!

Hello Everyone!
Just touching base to say hello and catch you up on the latest d&s news.

First, I want to thank you all for the SUPER positive response to the website. I am so humbled by how well it's been received. I'm filling and shipping orders and it feels so great to know how much you all like the new collection. Thank you for always supporting dex & stella, it's appreciated!

Now...the exciting news! A good friend of mine wrote the screenplay for a new movie which is starting production next month. (I am so proud of him!) And (drumroll, please)... He has asked me to supply the jewelry for the movie!!

Right now I'm not going to name any names or tell you about the film, that will come later. But, I can't begin to thank him enough for the opportunity. I am SOOOO excited! Dex & Stella has gotten a lot of printed press, but we haven't made it to the movies yet. This is a big step and I'm very grateful to my friend (you know who you are). I'll keep you all updated with the progress and I hope to have some pictures to post soon.

Today I read about a man who tells his newborn son every night before he drifts off to sleep that "anything is possible". I think he may be right and I've decided to find out! As always, thank you all for allowing me to do what I enjoy and enjoying it with me :)

Lots of love,
Amanda

Updates!!!

Hello everyone,
I see now that it has been waaaaaaay too long since my last update. A lot of things have been going on and the blog got pushed to the back burner :(. But, I'm going to fill you in on all the cool things that have been happening.

First, the most exciting news is that the new collection is finally LIVE on the website! As most of you know I decided to take matters into my own hands, and build the dex & stella website on my own. It's been an amazing process. And I can finally say that it's completed and the collection is online and available for purchase. SO...GET SHOPPING! www.dexandstella.com

Also, I want to take a second to congratulate my best friend, Molly on her wedding to my other great friend, Drew. I spent the July 4th weekend in Austin, TX attending their wedding and festivities. I couldn't be happier for them. And I must say...I forgot how much I love Austin. Hopefully next time I get to spend some more time seeing the sites and catching up with the newlyweds!

Finally, the other big news is that I have a brand new studio for dex & stella jewelry!!! It is such an awesome and inspiring space. I even have a porthole window (to remind me of my ship adventures)! I am in the process of getting it all up and running. As soon as I do I will post pictures so you can all see where the magic happens ;)

So, there you have it the short version of what I've been up to. Business is good, friends are great, and the opportunities are popping up left and right. I can't complain.

Hope you're all doing well!
