Onyx & Ivory Handmade

Now that my spontaneous Fall drop is behind us, I’m officially heading into witchy mode.

For the last 5 years, my Halloween drops have been full of ghosts, cutesie Halloween characters, jackolanterns… you name it.

This year, I wanted to do something different.

I wanted to shift away from the “average” Halloween theme and bring something more… dramatic.

Introducing my Witching Hour mood board, which is what’s driving this collection 🪄🧙🏼‍♀️🌜✨

Think:
🖤Victorian Gothic
🖤Moody Maximalism
🖤Goth Glam
🖤Elegantly Spooky

There will be earrings galore, necklaces, charms and whatever else feels right.

🗓️SAVE THE DATE: The Witching Hour Collection will be available Thursday, October 1 at 8p et on my website.

Get those magic wands, crystal balls and broomsticks ready!

The non-aesthetic and very real side of small business ownership: packaging orders takes up an entire space to accomplish 😮‍💨

Good thing I’ve got the best helper around and a decent sized house 😂🐾

I’m going to try my damndest to get your orders packaged and in the mail tomorrow morning, ahead of the holiday 🩵 I set myself up to pull and package as efficiently as I can tonight and early tomorrow morning.

Fall Collection available online tonight at 8p et! Make sure those reminders and/or alarms are set 🚨

Who’s ready to see some of the new beauties comin’ in the Fall drop THIS THURSDAY at 8p et? 😍

Meet the new Ginny charm!

She’s flirty, sophisticated and ready to spice up any OOTD (or OOTN 💃🏼). She’s a custom shape made to resemble my fan fave Ginny dangle shape 😍

She’s coming in 4 one of a kind color combos inspired by all things Fall:

🌩️ Storm Chaser: featuring a moody mix of Smokey grays and lilac, with added chameleon shift shimmer throughout, that will present in all kinds of purples depending on how the light catches it

🍎 Apple Orchard: featuring bright candy apple red, Granny Smith green and golden delicious yellow, with gold metallic foil mixed throughout

🔥 By the Fire: featuring deep chestnut brown and fiery oranges, with bronze and copper metallic inks and a little extra rose gold metallic foil mixed throughout

🏈 Friday Night Lights: featuring a gorgeous combination of denim blue, espresso brown and bright white, with a little added pearl shimmer throughout

Each color also has matching micro studs that pair perfectly to wear in your second holes alongside your charms! I also made a few one of a kind pieces in these colors in some of my popular favorite styles if the charms aren’t your thing 🥰

Check out my stories for a video of these beauties in action with the sun being a paid actor!

I made A LOT of these, because I’m banking on you loving this new shape as much as I do 🤭😍

Which color-way is your favorite?

Ahead of this week’s drop, I wanted to give back to my community in a meaningful way. I’ve officially donated enough to sponsor 5 bouquets for The Petal Parcel’s Su***de Awareness initiative and hope you’ll join me in helping her hit her goal of 75 bouquets donated 🩷

Each life is precious and no one deserves to have the thought that this world would be better off without them in it.

I’ve worked with and donated to To Write Love On Her Arms. every year for the past several years in business. Resources for those struggling emotionally or mentally exist. Help is out there and seeking that help doesn’t make you anything other than intensely brave.

If you or someone you know is struggling and needs immediate help, dial 988 to speak with a Lifeline counselor at any time.

Never forget, the world is a better place with you in it. Even on the hard days 💛

LAST CALL!!!🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶 we will not be accepting anymore sponsorships after today!! ✨✨✨ MONDAY

Sundays are usually a “day of rest” for most… unless you own a small business, then those are few and far between 😅🥴

But I do love the freedom of being able to assemble earrings while sitting on my comfy couch, watching a movie. That’ll never get old 🥰

My Fall drop is coming this Thursday at 8p et! Is your alarm set? 🫣

Save the date, set your reminder and be there or be sad 🍂

More sneaky peekies to follow 🫣😍

Not exactly clay related content, but kind of. Hang in there for story time! 😅

Friday morning, my husband left the house pretty early. The sun wasn’t completely up yet but he texted me (sound asleep with our dogs upstairs), to let me know he thought it was a groundhog hole, and to be careful letting the dogs out. So, he put a raised mesh dog bed over top of it just in case.

I get up and around, see that text, and decide to go investigate. I lift back the dog bed and immediately yell a string of expletives, because unless it was a 300lb groundhog with chisels for paws, there was no way this is a groundhog hole.

I then did what any woman does when something goes wrong with her house… I called my Daddy 🤓 He told me not to touch anything until we could get the Borough out to look at it.

On Saturday, my husband who listens about as well as a damn toddler, decided to go play in the hole. He opened more of it up, which is what you’re seeing in the third photo. You can also see there’s a pipe in there, which made me even more concerned than I already was.

Fast forward to this morning at promptly 8:30AM when the borough office opened, I called in a panic asking someone to please come look. Thankfully, they had someone here within 10 minutes.

That last photo is a 6’ man STANDING INSIDE the hole. I told his buddy he was either really brave… or really stupid 😂

To summarize, they think it was an old well that has obviously collapsed. The problem now is that the hole is currently about 3’ in diameter at the opening. However, that’s because some of the ground hasn’t caved yet. The hole should actually be about 6’ in diameter and is about 8-10’ deep.

No one seems to know what the pipe is, but I was assured it isn’t gas or it would be marked. They did warn me it could be sewer and to be very careful when filling the hole back in, because if that breaks, we’re gonna immediately know 💩🤢

All THAT to say, we’re now going to have an impromptu drop next Thursday at 8p et to help me pay for the spontaneous opening to hell we now have in our backyard 🫠

It’s moments like these I’m thankful to be a small business owner who can be in charge of making a little extra money when things like this happen to help offset the blow.

Home ownership is the biggest sinking ship we all hop aboard. Am I right or am I right? 😩

Stay tuned to find out whatever it is I end up making, cause at this point, I don’t even know 😂

And then Summer rolls around and my prioritization gets thrown out the window, forgetting all about it entirely 🙃

Not this year! 😁

Perfect for teachers of all kinds, whether it's you or your child's teacher that has to put up with the world's tiny demons all day long 👹🤣
