Shop Report: Production is all Business.
A few weeks ago the Production team was getting all sorts of fancy with their aprons, and now they’ve upped the ante with their new business cards!!!
Holy cheese ball. Look how happy Alyssa is!!!!
So guys, what’s it like to have your own betsy & iya business cards?
Amory: Officiel. *Break into song:”She’s Making Jewelry Now!”*
Alyssa: *Insert awkward Beyonce booty-bump dance move*
Matt: I’M A REAL BOY!
There you have it, the excitement of the three musketeers. Every day, bigger and better.
Muchlove,
Barrie

Sneak Peek for the New Window.
Well what on earth could this inspiration board mean? Could it possibly mean a new window display!?! *Gasp!* It could!!!
Yes, yes, yes we’re finally getting something a little more colorful up in the window. The inspiration comes from Betsy & Will’s love of music. You all saw Betsy’s post about her once(twice)-in-a-lifetime-experience seeing Prince, right? Well, although I’m not as much of an expert as Betsy or Will, my deepest connection to music comes out when the sun does. After all, there’s nothing quite like strolling down the street in a flowing sun dress, with perfect weather, headphones in listening to a song… that one song that you can’t get out of your head. The one that suddenly makes you think that the camera’s on you and the music is the opening soundtrack of the romantic-comedy you’ve always wanted to be in. (Anyone? Just me?).
Anyway, here’s a sneak peek of what’s taking up my tiny apartment:
It’s a messy job but someone’s gotta do it, and I’m glad it’s me. :)
If you’re in the neighborhood keep an eye out in the next couple weeks. It will be up soon! In the mean time, enjoy the sun and figure out your essential playlist for Spring. And share it with us!
Shine on my loves.
xo,
Barrie

Shop Report: Will’s Making Jewelry Now?
Am I seeing this right? Is the Boss-man really making jewelry!?
“Oh, it must be ‘Opposite Day’ at work,” I thought to myself. But no, no, no. It turns out the whole production crew including Will is getting even more advanced with their soldering skills. Like I say, every day at betsy & iya we’re getting bigger and better. The Proof is in the pudding:
Oh my goodness!!!! Will! You made a ring so now everyone will know your name. Perfy!
Matty and Alyssa have also been working on some sweet new pieces:
This is Matty’s snail, Snaily.
And this is Alyssa’s giraffe, Nigel Livingston!
Alyssa’s “Nicki Minaj” ring.
It’s nice to know that if there were ever an emergency, like if all of productions hands were to suddenly vanish (huh?), that Will would be able to solder his little heart out. Better look out Betsy… the Boss-man might be trying to wedge his way into the design department….
Happy Thursday, friends!
Love,
Barrie

Shop Report: Production Stays Clean.
Check out the new aprons Production got from local workwear company Hand-Eye Supply!
If I didn’t know any better I’d say it looks like these guys use heavy-duty power tools all day, chew tobacco, play with fire, and spit and stuff… Okay, well the power tools and fire parts are true, but let’s be real, these guys couldn’t stay serious for more than a few seconds.
Now everything they need is right at their fingertips! (Can we all pay attention to the fact that Matt is wearing a fire fighter’s helmet)
I am digging the new duds.
Don’t be intimidated if you come into the shop and see these ulta cool jewelry makers at work just because they’re wearing aprons. They are simply all too sweet and wonderful. But you’ve gotta admit these new threads are pretty. frickin’. cool… And they all look so professional!
Enjoy the weekend my free birds!
Love,
Barrie
