Tuesday Tell All

November 26, 2019 by Lisa Lehmann

Hello friend!

Happy Thanksgiving week in the good ole U.S of A.!

I know this can be an amazing week for some…and for others exceedingly hard. I’m kind of on the fence on that one for myself. It will be very different this year. With that in mind I’m trying to embrace new and not hold on to old and find all the joy. Who’s with me on that one?

For this week’s Tuesday Tell All I have some fun things I am currently crushing on!

favorite items of the week

What am I wearing?

As many of you may know I turned 50 a couple months ago. And although I’m embracing my age…there are things about it I just DON’T love. Mainly. Body changes. That being said I have ventured into the world of Spanx. And you know what…not too shabby! I purchased a pair of camo leggings and I’m in love. They come up high enough. They reach my ankles. They are SUPER comfortable. I’m sold. They are a bit pricey, but honestly? They are worth it. As a legging aficionado, these hold their value!  Click HERE for the pair I own.

What am I obsessed with?

Tuesday Tell All

November 19, 2019 by Lisa Lehmann

Often I find myself amazed about what other people know about. Meaning. Things they have discovered! Songs I’ve never heard. Books I’ve never read. Obsessions they have that never even crossed my radar! Through them, I am able to uncover new things. Develop my own obsessions. And the cycle continues!

I thought it might be fun to start my own “tell-all”. A recap of the last week or so. What has grabbed my attention? What I think YOU might love. What you just might happen to “need”.

So, Lisa’s Tuesday Tell-All has been born!

What am I reading?

My daughter judges me on this one. I often hear…you’re not reading…you’re listening. Potatoes PoTAHtoes. A book is a book. And seriously? How many of us have time to sit down and really enjoy a book? I listen to books ALL the time. I find them perfect for in the studio and my drives into the “big city”. This past week I have been engrossed in a book called “The Library“. It’s an interesting look at the fire that destroyed the Los Angeles public library. But it’s so much more than that. You get to look INSIDE the walls of a library. And maybe fall in love with this beloved institution all over again. [Read more…] about Tuesday Tell All

On turning 50

September 3, 2019 by Lisa Lehmann

And so it happened. The calendar turned the page. The days turned to months and years. 50. 5. 0. Five 10’s. Fifty 1’s. No matter how you add the numbers it always comes out the same. I have officially arrived at the halfway point of life. It seems like yesterday I was sitting on a swing in my backyard wondering what it would be like when I “grew up”.  Would I get to be an artist? Or a teacher? Or maybe a veterinarian? Would I play sports and win medals? Would I learn to sing and be in musicals on Broadway? Would someone love me and want to marry me? Would I have children of my own?

I was a dreamer. I AM a dreamer. But life can be cruel to the dreamers. Put that square peg back in the round hole before you get hurt. Don’t push the boundaries. Conform. Follow the rules. Be like everyone else. And I tried. Oh, how I have tried. And where has all of that gotten me?

It’s not that I’m scared of aging, maybe not terribly excited, but not scared. And I don’t fear the number. What does cause me to sit back and reflect is the question in my head, what have I done in 50 years? Have I used my time wisely? Have I made an impact? Did I spend too much time dreaming or not enough? Did I love well? Did I miss things? Then I reflect on the many many blunders I have made. So I guess this day is causing me to think. To look back. To dream ahead.

Jewelry RePurposed

August 20, 2019 by Lisa Lehmann

What happens when something old becomes something new? What happens when jewelry gets repurposed? More often than not, there is a story there. A story that will last for generations.

When I get to be a part of such a story? Magic.

What happens when jewelry gets repurposed?

Jewelry is meaningful on so many levels. It empowers. Decorates. Commits us to another. There is always a story. And it’s the stories…YOUR stories…that fires me up. When I am given the opportunity to repurpose a meaningful piece of jewelry into another meaningful piece of jewelry, I am truly honored.

I thought you might like to see the process behind the scenes of jewelry being repurposed. I was approached by a dear friends son to take on such a task, needless to say, I was thrilled. He was gifted his grandmother’s wedding set to create a new engagement ring for his beloved!  WARNING. PHOTO HEAVY…but oh so worth it!

First. The original set. Beautiful. Well worn. Years of love and devotion. Honestly? It’s a bit intimidating. What if a break something? Lose a stone? Those voices are always there…until I sit at my bench. Focused. Ready.

Ten Reasons my jewelry is for you

July 24, 2019 by Lisa Lehmann

My jewelry is for you.  Let me tell you ten reasons WHY.

  1. You have jewelry needs. It’s ok. We all do!
    • When I design that design comes from me. I sense a need in my own wardrobe. Something I want. Something I feel like will make me feel good. Hits at just the right spot on your neckline. Add that bit of layering I LOVE. I want to help YOU fill those voids in your own styling!
  2. You know quality.
    • When you put on a piece of jewelry that is handcrafted, not manufactured, you can FEEL the difference.
  3. You are unique. Your jewelry should be too.
    • Your jewelry helps finish your personal style. Maybe you are jeans and t-shirt girl…well those layers of bracelets…those many stacking rings…those perfectly orchestrated necklaces…yeah…that’s what gives you THAT look.
  4. You like having someone help you with style.
    • I want to help teach you how to layer. How to find that look you know you love. I’m not here to just sell to you I want to help guide you on your style journey!
  5. You like unique.
    • Stones are my jam. Putting together one of a kind pieces makes my heart sing. I spend hours drawing and designing. I love every step of the process from pen to metal. Focusing on details. That shows.
  6. You work hard at making sure everyone around you is taken care of…except for you.
    • It’s amazing how one piece of jewelry can make you feel special. Treasured. You deserve that.
  7. You love that free-spirited bohemian look but have no idea how to do that.
    • Often. It’s in the jewelry. I can help you with that.
  8. You feel stuck in a jewelry rut.
    • Same jewelry day in and day out. You need something to mix and match and change your overall look.
  9. You have been looking for the perfect gift for that hard to buy for person in your life…you know the one…we all have them.
    • You want to wow them…my little black boxes tend to come with a guaranteed smile along with an ooh and ahh.
  10. You value human. Not commodity.
    • I promise to always be right on the other side of this screen. I do online live events. I will always answer your emails. My desire to connect with you is strong.
  11. Bonus reason.
    • I make really beautifully awesome jewelry. And maybe that is reason enough!

I realize you can shop a million places. Whether that be a local establishment or a host of places online. So when you DO choose to shop with me I am profoundly grateful. This is my livelihood and I am so blessed to be able to do what I love every.single.day. But when it comes down to the nitty-gritty of it? I do it for you. NOTHING makes me happier than when I hear how much you love your Lisa Lehmann Designs, how it was the perfect gift, how it makes you feel. YOU are my why.

So. If I haven’t said it enough….thank you. Thank you for making this possible.

xooxoxoo, lisa
