This weekend I went down to Southern Delaware to visit my brother and he suggested we check out the new Rise Up Coffee Shop in Rehoboth Beach, and of course I couldn’t resist snapping a pic or two in front of their great black and white walls.

Introducing Chroma: my newest jewelry line!
On my drive down to Delaware last weekend, I was listening to one of the books that never fails to inspire me, Ross’s King’s Mad Enchantment: Claude Monet and the Painting of the Water Lilies, when I was hit with a sudden burst of inspiration. I could take the colorful metal bowls I’ve been making over the last couple of years (the ones that combine my love of metalsmithing and my love of painting) and turn those into jewelry featuring my signature leaf shapes!
I immediately hit the studio when I got home on Tuesday, and the result is my newest collection, Chroma!
my books at the beach
Last weekend, I went to Delaware to visit my nephews for their birthdays. I had a little extra time after everyone went to school and work on Monday, so I decided to take my books to the beach! In the early days of this blog, I used to spend a lot of time reading non-fiction at the beach, so it felt all too appropriate to take my books there on a little outing!
Self-portraits with plants
Back in May, I bought this massive philodendron while visiting family in Delaware. And then I came home and had such a fun photoshoot with it. Partly because Patricia from Parima Studio and I are having a (joking) competition around photographing ourselves behind plants!
A simple stake for a trailing plant
It’s pretty common knowledge that if you invite me to come stay with you, I’m probably going to bring you jewelry. And I guess that includes plant jewelry now too! Last weekend I went to Delaware to visit my brother and his family and I couldn’t resist styling a few of my sister-in-laws plants with my new plant stakes!
Of course, it was a pretty even trade, because look at these gorgeous images my brother took!
succulents and stacking rings
Back in May, after a solid month of self-isolating, I was able to go to my brother’s in Delaware to meet my new nephew! And while most of the trip was spent helping care for a newborn and a toddler, my brother and I were able to squeeze in this photoshoot! My brother, who is a freelance photographer (you can see his work here), came up with the concept and took the pics, while I played the roles of model, nail artist, and of course, ring designer!
how I beat the winter blues by plant shopping
I’ll admit it, as far as winters go, this one has been pretty mild. But that doesn’t mean the winter blues aren’t a real thing. Because while temps have been higher than normal, the sun has been pretty nonexistent. And while my favorite way to cope with winter is with a warm weather getaway, last winter I discovered a solution that’s a little easier to manage – plant shopping!
an impromptu photoshoot (and finally, maybe getting into the holiday spirit)
This weekend I went to visit my brother in Delaware, and while I was there he emerged from the yard with a bunch of tree trimmings and suggested we do an impromptu photoshoot. (It’s not as weird as it sounds, he’s a photographer and video marketer, so coming up with cool photoshoot ideas is what he does for a living!) So I grabbed one of my Contra Collection rings and this was the result:
Rehoboth Beach weekend stops: Rise Up Coffee and Heidi Lowe Jewelry Gallery
Last weekend (ok, technically since it is Monday it was now two weekend’s ago, but who’s counting) I made another trip to visit my bro and his family and couldn’t resist making another stop at Rise Up Coffee. What can I say, I’m a sucker for that black and white branding? (Not to mention the excellent breakfast and those paper straws that hold up to iced latte drinking like none other.)
So of course, I had to commence with my standard silver on steel thumb rings photos! (You can recreate the look by grabbing your own set in my online store!)
new peperomia plants for the studio
Last weekend I went to visit my brother and his family in Delaware, and my reputation as a budding plant lady must be growing (puns intended) because they suggested we take a trip to the local greenhouse for a little Sunday morning plant shopping!
And while I tried to keep my myself from buying too many plants, I did come home with a couple of new peperomias (which is rapidly becoming my favorite plant type) and a few new pots to put them in! I’ve been looking for a few plants to put under this painting on the far wall of my current studio, and I think this little grouping works perfectly!
