Hello friends! I'm officially back from my (longer than expected) hiatus and am trying to play catch up. I returned from my amazing trip to Ecuador (pictures coming soon, I promise!) to a ridiculously hectic Art Basel week here in Miami (pictures of this coming soon too!) and unfortunately the blog has been lagging, so for this I apologize!


Demi Lovato & oh, hello friend


LaToya Jackson & Saru Star

First things first, the American Music Awards. While our items made it in the gift bags, our item which was intended to be displayed was STOLEN! So unfortunately there are no photos of any Heist items at the gifting lounge! As much as that really sucks, do not despair as Heist and The Sampler are teaming up again for another MAJOR awards show in March. As you can see above, the event was a success with artists like Demi Lovato and LaToya Jackson stopping by to be photographed with other Sampler items.

Another exciting bit of news, Heist is now a proud member of the ETSY METALCLAY TEAM! We are so excited to be joining a group of such lovely and talented artists!

Last but not least, be sure to sign up for our brand new (and not to be abused!) Heist mailing list!!! ------->

Last Minute Loose Ends

Ivana

I'm just finishing up some last minute business before heading out to ECUADOR tomorrow! As you might notice in the store, I will be unavailable from November 19 until November 30. This means that I won't be able to answer emails nor fill orders until I return, but don't despair, I will be back to fill all of your holiday orders on time!

Be sure to tune into the American Music Awards on November 22 at 8:00PM on ABC to see if you can spot any Heist items! I'll be sure to post all the information about the awards (including pictures) after I return.

Have a great week, everyone!

PS-One of my BFFs, the wonderful Carol, has hooked me up with NEW MOON SNEAK PEEK TICKETS FOR TONIGHT!!!!! Thanks to Carol and Burger King for this totally unexpected and wonderful surprise!

An embroidered heart

If this isn't the cutest damn thing you've ever seen then I don't know what is! This photographer, Cédric, has a little reminder of his wife everywhere he goes:

She embroidered a little heart inside his shirt pocket!

Holy Grail?

I think I found it. Expensive but lovely vintage over at Nasty Gal. Thanks for the heads up, Because I'm Addicted!

A Christmas gift for moi?!

Yes! Dexter Coasters.

Online Oniomania

Oniomania (from Greek onios = "for sale," mania = insanity) is the technical term for the compulsive desire to shop, more commonly referred to as compulsive shopping, compulsive buying, shopping addiction or shopaholism.

Check out my latest purchase, this time from the lovely Sally Jane Vintage Etsy store. I saw them, loved them, discovered that they were in my size and click click click, now they're mine!

Dexter!

While not everyone understood who I was supposed to be this Halloween, those who got it really liked it and those who didn't just kind of yelled things like "hey welder girl!" - either way, I'm considering it a success (even if my "stubble" began looking like a bad case of acne by the end of the night!)

And here's a pic of the most bizarre train ride I ever took (heading into Salem, of course)


I hope you guys had a great Halloween weekend too!

Dream Workspace

Officially, the greatest workspace/office/studio EVER!




First thing on the list for my future studio is one of these amazing lamps inspired by vintage photo equipment. See them here and here.

One of a Kind

I've decided that I want to do a few one-of-a-kind* pieces for Heist using some different stones that I've come across. The first in the series is this little (or not so little) Alligator on Onyx charm. I'll be sure to let you know when it's posted in the STORE!

*While there's no guarantee that I can make the exact same item twice, I might be able to make something similar, so please don't hesitate to ask!

Nerds unite!

I'm a huge fan of sweater vests and I love this usage of my favorite nerdy clothing item over at Kansas Couture

Note to Self: Must pick up some high waisted trousers!

AMA Poll: Display Item!

After all your votes a couple weeks ago, I decided to take your suggestion and make the (slightly modified) Small Triple Pyramid Stud Necklace my giveaway item in the AMA gift bags:


Now the next question is, which item should be my "display item" in the Gifting Suite? This is the item that will be displayed and photographed. I'm tilting towards the Military Jacket Stone Charm with the Aventurine stone (as pictured), but what do you guys think???
