guys! it happened! i don't work from home anymore!<br />
<br />
gone are the days of getting out of bed at 10 just to roll into the living room and watch Kathy Lee and Hoda (though I guess I can still do that). I'll TRY however, to get to the new workspace at a reasonable hour and work work work! The studio is in the B<a href="http://www.monroestreetmarket.com/arts/">rookland Arts Walk </a>and I'm just about finished setting up. What's glorious is that there is a retail part in the front! I can actually meet with clients to talk about a designs and not have them find me awkwardly at the bar on the corner. My friend and photog Kim of <a href="http://timebandit-photography.com/">Time Bandit Photography</a> came a few days ago and snapped some pics.<br />

I only got off the couch today to go across the street to get a cup of coffee, because I'm out of coffee at home and haven't gone grocery shopping. I saw Gilmore Girls was on ABC family, so I started watching. And soon, The Middle came on. A show I previously despised and am now slowly learning to love. And before I know it, I'm knee deep in Reba.<br />

This is what happens when you work from home, and when sales dip down a teeny bit. Are there things I should be doing? Of course. I should do the dishes, I should do laundry, I should neaten the house. I should vacuum. I should ORGANIZE MY GODDAMN JEWELRY STUDIO. And sort stones!! And sort castings!! And buy things to put my stones and castings IN. I got this whole fancy drawer thing and instead of neatly putting thing in the drawers I sort of threw everything that didn't have a home into all of the drawers. So now there are just tiny galaxies of messy universes in each drawer.<br />
<br />
I should be getting ready for my POP UP SHOP at West Elm next Saturday, which I'm super excited for! But also it's a week away and I'm all like, I'll do it on monday okay???<br />
<br />
Even blogging this now, I should be at a coffee shop or literally anywhere else other than hunched over on the couch. A desk? What's that. Why aren't I making new designs? Or working on Stitchtagram stuff? Or outside walking? OR DOING LITERALLY ONE SIT UP. JUST ONE.<br />
<br />
Like this- look at this pretty picture of me doing work out in a public space.<br />

But I did dye my hair sort of pinky coral a little while back, which has faded to blonde. But once upon a time it looked this awesome:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And now I look like this:</div>

Which makes me realize that people work out for REASONS. other than being healthy. it's so they don't have weird shadowy flubber arms.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that's why. I even brought out our weights to lift. Well, just one. I couldn't carry both down from the attic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I also had the BRILLIANT idea to make a Landline Line, inspired by my landline's phone cord.</div>

I've been torn between making dainty little gold bits and pieces that people seem to love now, and that I love too. But every time I try to make something small and simple it turns into something not so small and definitely not so simple!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I started in on this ring, I had imagined something totally different.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img0.etsystatic.com/054/0/5207113/il_570xN.753751714_eieh.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="498" src="https://img0.etsystatic.com/054/0/5207113/il_570xN.753751714_eieh.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But what can you do. You can't control the raging river that is the creative process, right? (is that a saying?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In case you were wondering, before Gilmore Girls/The Middle came on, I was watching, very happily mind you, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills REUNIONS from YEARS AGO. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Can you imagine a more silly and useless thing to watch???? Current reunions are ridiculous. Imagine reunions from 2012. WHY. WHY DO I CARE. WHY DIDN'T I CHANGE THE CHANNEL.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok. This post was a good way to kill time and feel like I'm doing something other than watching horrible day time tv. Now I'm going to get into the studio and make a prong drusy pendant for a custom order, a silver dual stone ring with opal/turquoise, a black dripping heart ring with opal, and a drusy solitaire ring. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for listening. Do you work from home? Do you go a tad bit crazy sometimes? Do share your stories. </div>

happy fall, all!!!<br />
<br />
things are windy and sunny here today in DC. I'm waiting for my mama to arrive for a visit, and watching Mad About You. I'm working on an order for Urban Outfitters (we love them now), and dyed my hair kind of blue. Some photos:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
UPDATE: UO has responded and apologized, removing the item. I do understand that they purchase from overseas vendors, and while <b>they</b> may be stealing from poor little Etsy sellers like myself (my pieces are plastered all over <a href="http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Tiny-Sterling-Silver-Bike-Necklace-bicycle_1704047853.html">Alibaba</a>, with other factories' watermarks on my pictures), it seems that UO isn't always aware of who gets copied by who. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I guess I can keep on wearing my many Urban/Anthro items of clothing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

My friend Julia recently sent me a link to <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=31953706&parentid=SALE_W#/">this ring from Urban Outfitters.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It looks suspiciously like my <a href="http://rachelpfeffer.bigcartel.com/product/drusy-deluxe-brass-cleopatra-ring-with-black-drusy">Cleopatra Ring</a>. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How is that even possible?!?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I carved MY ring out of wax. It was one of the first pieces I made when I started working in wax last year. It is cast in recycled brass by a wonderful company in NYC. I work with my hands to transform all of my jewelry from rough, raw castings into smooth, wearable, shiny pieces. Just to give you an idea of what goes into each ring.I have permanent blisters from cutting off the sprues (the left over little pieces of metal from when it was cast). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This obviously isn't the first time Urban has stolen designs from independent artists.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Remember that time they copied Etsy seller Truche's state heart pendants? No? <a href="http://imakeshinythings.tumblr.com/post/5855716317/not-cool-urban-outfitters-not-cool">Here's a refresher. </a> (even though there was<a href="http://consumerist.com/2011/05/31/jewelry-design-urban-outfitters-allegedly-stole-not-all-that-original-actually/"> residual backlash</a> that that design had been floating around the jewelry world already. but still.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It also happened to <a href="http://glam-trash.tumblr.com/post/65124842231/by-popular-request-i-removed-this-first-line-but">Glam Trash. </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And <a href="http://www.dailydot.com/business/urban-outfitters-steal-artists-work/">to this graphic designer. </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then there's this <a href="http://theweek.com/article/index/220370/racist-navajo-attire-and-7-other-urban-outfitters-controversies">general awfulness</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, that's that. Let the raging begin. </div>

My friend Julia recently sent me a link to <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=31953706&parentid=SALE_W#/">this ring from Urban Outfitters.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It looks suspiciously like my <a href="http://rachelpfeffer.bigcartel.com/product/drusy-deluxe-brass-cleopatra-ring-with-black-drusy">Cleopatra Ring</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Notice their<b> $10 sale price. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How is that even possible?!?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I carved MY ring out of wax. It was one of the first pieces I made when I started working in wax last year. It is cast in recycled brass by a wonderful company in NYC. I work with my hands to transform all of my jewelry from rough, raw castings into smooth, wearable, shiny pieces. Just to give you an idea of what goes into each ring.I have permanent blisters from cutting off the sprues (the left over little pieces of metal from when it was cast). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This obviously isn't the first time Urban has stolen designs from independent artists.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Remember that time they copied Etsy seller Truche's state heart pendants? No? <a href="http://imakeshinythings.tumblr.com/post/5855716317/not-cool-urban-outfitters-not-cool">Here's a refresher. </a> (even though there was<a href="http://consumerist.com/2011/05/31/jewelry-design-urban-outfitters-allegedly-stole-not-all-that-original-actually/"> residual backlash</a> that that design had been floating around the jewelry world already. but still.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It also happened to <a href="http://glam-trash.tumblr.com/post/65124842231/by-popular-request-i-removed-this-first-line-but">Glam Trash. </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And <a href="http://www.dailydot.com/business/urban-outfitters-steal-artists-work/">to this graphic designer. </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then there's this <a href="http://theweek.com/article/index/220370/racist-navajo-attire-and-7-other-urban-outfitters-controversies">general awfulness</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, that's that. Let the raging begin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

ok. so, i was in maine for a week, no internet, very relaxing, yada yada yada. i get back, my computer won't start, so I bring it in to the apple store. They have to whisk it away for a week. I'm home, computerless, when I get a message on Instagram. Long story short, Beyonce appears to be wearing my original honeycomb necklace in a photo! It's been a crazy crazy week, and you can read it about it at these places:<br />

A gal from DC emailed me hoping to try it on in real life, and it turns out she lives blocks away from me and works in the coffee shop I go to all the time! So I met her at the bar on the corner the other night to have her try it on, sized it there (got some strange looks from the bartenders as I hammered the ring a bit bigger), and had a new happy customer! and hopefully neighborhood friend! Thanks internet!</div>

So, we are moving to the third floor of a delightful town house very soon. I'm in the middle of packing up the apartment, which is obviously the worst thing ever. It is fun to get rid of old furniture i always hated and just had by default. I decided I never wanted to sit on our old ikea couch again, so we bought a new one!! Emily was a doll and helped (and by helped, I mean did it all herself) put it together.<br />

Or sideways. Actually, I think it's down.<br />
<br />
In any event, we are moving! To a delightful little neighborhood called Bloomingdale in DC. We got the top floor of a love town house. There's a loft, and two skylights. And I need to paint some vintage kitchen chairs. And a table. And figure out rugs. And go insane.<br />
<br />
Theres a bar/restaurant called Boundary Stone directly across the street that opens at noon. So I'll go there every day and…become an alcoholic I guess.<br />

Oh and we went to our dear friends Aileen and Andy's wedding! It was a blast. What I can remember at least. (errrrr, it was a russian wedding. there was a lot of cognac involved. stop asking questions).<br />

Aaaand yeah! It's hard moving! Though we have a drawn out process that is basically spanning the whole month. I do need to find some interesting kitchen stools. And possible a bench for a bay window. And some more outdoor furniture for a deck. And cute lights for the deck. and somehow make an air planter out of a copper tubing and strip of leather. Also how do you paint a chair? </div>

Tonight I've eat:<br />
<br />
Annie's macaroni and cheese, which i always manage to make not very deliciously.<br />
Castelenatrova olives. i know that's not how you spell it but i'm too lazy to google.<br />
blackberry spritzer<br />
malbec<br />
blackberry spritzer and malbec TOGETHER<br />
and cookies and cream ice cream!<br />
<br />
and now, drum roll please…. i have a stomach ache! who would have thought??<br />
<br />
anyway. as anyone who is reading this probably knows, the snow is scaring everyone in DC. Tomorrow my goal is to never leave the apartment, sit down at the workbench (key word- sit. I usually just stand and do what i need to do. and i realize that most jewelry's *sit* at a work bench, and make things. lots of things. so tomorrow i'm going to try to make something for every stone on my bench.<br />
<br />
i also went to nordstrom rack, and may never be able to shop again.<br />
<br />
some highlights were:<br />
<br />
these sparkle vans<br />

I like having lots of things. Lots of things on the walls, lots of different pretty mugs, lots of….sunglasses?<br />
<br />
Anyway. I thought it would be fun to start sharing these little collections and the stories behind them.<br />

Let's start with wall hangings, shall we? Ben says we have too many but I think IMPOSSIBLE.<br />
<br />
We shall begin in the hallway.<br />

I picked up these little frames in a crafty shop in Iceland last april. The french man and lady in the frames are just what comes in them as examples but i LOVE THEM. The gal says Tres Chic and the gentleman said Monsieur. They were like $2 each.</div>

Already I failed at blogging every day.<br />

I went to Staples today and in a moment of weakness, bought this delightful <a href="http://www.staples.com/Martha-Stewart-Home-Office-with-Avery-Wall-Manager-Accessory-Board-21600-Chalk/product_100416">product</a> from the one and only Martha Stewart, along with <a href="http://www.staples.com/Martha-Stewart-Home-Office-with-Avery-Wall-Manager-Shelf-21760-Chalk-White/product_100417">these</a> and <a href="http://www.staples.com/Martha-Stewart-Home-Office-with-Avery-Wall-Manager-Hook-21680-Chalk-White/product_100255">this</a>.<br />

Clearly I have some work to do, a one thousand more hooks and shelves to buy. It's such a great design! And has a little built in bubble level in the back of the mounting piece!! and little sticky circles so you can stick it to the wall as you are nailing it in place!!! THANKS MARTHA!</div>
