KKPW Designs and Tucson, Arizona

Yes we just got back from Tucson, Arizona where the largest gem show is offered once a year....don't think that we didn't find some of the most amazing stones including....opals, sapphires, amethyst, rubies, tourmaline, spinel, pearls and so much more....the weather was great and our hotel was wonderful, beautiful with the best food you have ever had. We spend 2 full days walking the show, and yes buying. There were so many great stones to see and oooo and ahhh at, some we could definitely invest in and some that we just wanted to look at and dream of using in our designs. Overall though, I give the trip an A+, already planning for next year, now that is exciting!! Look for some great new designs using our great new finds real soon!!!
Also, if you haven't checked out Stringing Magazine, go to http://www.stringingmagazine.com/contributors.asp to see KKPW Designs as a contributor with the magazine coming out on the news stand this month. More to come as always!!!

KKPW Designs Thanksgiving

So I was thinking of all the things that we have to be thankful for this year. So many things and where to begin to list them is difficult. We are of course thankful for our family and friends. Although we may not be with all of them, we are very greatful!! This year we have met so many new and exciting people that have helped KKPW Designs, there is Dina of Stellarocco, who has managed to share so much business information with me that I am amazed, Tori of Little Fish Boutique and Misty of RAG, 2 boutiques who have welcomed us into San Francisco, Laine of Morgan Lain, Barbara of Serendipity, Razieh of Nat Boutique, Barby of Barby K Boutique, then there is Adrienne Bankert of KCRA 3 who has worn our designs on the news, the girls of www.twinsoup.com and Alyse of www.Sporkfashion.com and so many more. It really takes a group of people to make a small business work. There are so many others that we haven't mentioned but without them, well, thanksgiving just wouldn't be as thankful!! Thank you!!!

KKPW Designs & Sporkfashion

Every so often we come across someone who wants to help out one of the causes that we feel so strongly about. Most recently Alyse of www.sporkfashion.com has done a feature on our "Rose is a Rose" pendant and how the design came about, but most importantly that it supports the work of the Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Center. We appreciate the time and energy she put into the feature. The work to end domestic violence and sexual assault comes from all of us....thanks Alyse for helping!!!
