See Talisman at The Found Collective on Saturday

It’s that time of year again… the fall Found Collective market is happening in Boulder on Saturday, September 9th at the Dairy Arts Center. As per usual, I’m super excited not only to hang with so many of my friends in one place - who also happen to be some of the most talented designers and artisans in Colorado, no less - but I also can’t wait to finally unveil some of the new fall pieces I’ve been hard at work on. Come see me and scope out designs like my brand new, entirely handmade Anchored Chain, the Orbit Collar and Orbit Bracelet, the wonderfully chunky new Conjunct Cigar Band and its pair the Conjunct Ring, and so much more. Entry is $5, but is SO worth it, between the amazing food, music, and the best curation of vendors this side of the front range. See you there!

Join me and a host of other noteworthy Colorado designers, artists, makers, florists, and vintage vendors for the Mother’s Day weekend installment of the Found Collective - a Boulder-based pop-up market that is not to be missed. Happening on Saturday, May 13 from 1-6pm at the Rembrandt Yard: 1301 Spruce Street.

Truly, I don’t participate in many group markets these days (TBH most of them are kind of “meh” if I’m being totally real with you), but this one is worth your time and the small $5 entry fee. Found Collective founder, Emmy Swenson, has impeccable taste and really curates the best of the best. Plus, if you haven’t thought about what you’re getting mom this year, the Found Collective is a one-stop-shop, with florals, tasteful gifts and more. Even better is that all sales will be matched and donated to three charities - Motherhouse Boulder, the Radical Waves Project, and Love for Lily. And I’ll have a BOATLOAD of new Talisman designs for you to see, which you can take home with you in my signature reusable gift packaging. Get your tix here ahead of time, and I’ll hope to see you there!

Join Talisman at the Found Collective Market September 24th

Emmy Swenson is another one of those old acquaintances that I inevitably met via my former shop Goldyn. She’s an incredibly talented hairstylist, and I’ve been glad to get to know her more personally as of late. For quite some time now, she’s had a beautiful vision that goes beyond just hairstyling, to supporting other local artists in the Boulder community. Emmy noticed how many of her clients were incredible makers and designers, and yet didn’t have a place to showcase their work locally. So Emmy has gathered the best of the best, and decided to finally create The Found Collective. Our first pop-up market will be held Saturday, September 24th, at the Dairy Arts Center in Boulder. Tickets are $5, which you can purchase here, and are well worth the small fee. This is not your average maker market - shop for antique fine jewelry, designer apparel, hand-beaded adornment, botanically-dyed upcycled garments, beautiful ceramics, expertly curated vintage, and of course Talisman Fine Jewelry will be there with my latest and greatest. Hope to see you there!

If you haven’t checked out this incredible designer consignment boutique, I can tell you that it’s a must-see. As sustainability and circular fashion become more and more important, Common Threads has quickly become THE spot for fashion-centric folks in the Boulder area. Seriously, I can’t walk in there without finding something to pick up... From Gucci lace leggings to Ulla Johnson dresses and Jerome Dreyfuss bags, they’ve got you covered. So come stop in, say hello, and pick up some new-to-you pieces along with the latest Talisman Fine Jewelry spring wares for mom :)

Talisman Studio Tour with Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art

This fall I was honored to be asked by the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art to join them for an online studio tour. I love the ‘full circle’ aspect of getting involved in the Boulder community more, given that it’s my hometown! BMOCA’s Kiah Butcher - who is just a lovely human BTW - and I had a casual convo about my process, the space, how Talisman got started, and more. Since my blog doesn’t support video content, you can peep the full studio tour HERE.
