Perfect for Mother's Day: Thumbprint Necklaces!

Mother's Day (May 9th!) is swiftly approaching (thank goodness that means summer is too!) and Sahlia Michelle is giving you a fantastic new alternative to that standard bouquet of flowers. Entirely one-of-a-kind, our newest sterling silver thumbprint pendants serve as a stylish yet meaningful gift. And yes, it's actually YOUR own thumbprint!
 
The process is super easy! Here's how it works: we take your print on a wax disc, make a one-of-a-kind casting in sterling silver, you choose your chain length and it's done!  











If you live here in Portland we can take your print right here at our studio and if not, we can easily send you the wax disc.  Then all you have to do is make your print and send it back to us.  We'll have the necklace finished and shipped back to you by Mother's Day if ordered by May 6th!

Thumbprint necklaces are now available for purchase. 
E-mail us (sahlia@sahliamichelle.com) for an in-studio appointment or to order via e-mail.

New Website Coming Soon!

It might be freaky, but we love it

The detail on these final McQueen pieces is amazing.



To think without him, we might never have had the pleasure of seeing all these.

New Pieces at Phlox Boutique!

Here's a peek at a few pieces we just dropped off at Phlox clothing boutique on North Mississippi.  It's got lots of feminine pieces that focus on great design and a flattering fit.  Barb Seipp (owner/ designer) carries a variety of local, national and international lines, including her own label; Isaac Hers.   Lots of our new hand-pounded and chain pieces are the perfect compliment to her new artistically edgy Isaac Hers Spring 2010 collection!
The"5 Blades" necklace (shown in center of pic), which is comprised of 5 hand-pounded sterling silver bars suspended between both a gunmetal and a silver chain, is one of the favorites at Phlox!

There are tons of other great little shops on Mississippi St., perfect for a relaxing day of shopping at some of Portland's unique local businesses.  And for that mid-day pick my up, stop in and get your caffeine fix at the Fresh Pot!

Some new pieces we just dropped at CHAPTER4!

First Thursdays Have Begun!



It's official: the 8 month-long marathon of First Thursdays in Portland's Pearl District kicked off last night. Despite the wind-chill and freezing temperature, there was a great turnout! We're looking forward to you sun-loving Stumptowners joining the ranks in the upcoming months. Wine, art, music, and a huge assortment of vendors? Who could say no?
