The New Scrambled Collection

March 23, 2016

It’s finally here! I’m so excited to finally and officially share the new Scrambled Collection.

The Scrambled Collection is all about showing off the people, places and messages you love in a modern way. Share your love while showing off your unique style. Let it be a reminder to you while staying a secret to everyone else.

I love the simplicity of the collection but I also love how there are endless possibilities. The best thing is that no two are alike since all the letters are scattered about.

I’ve separated the collection into the 3 following categories and they both come in rings and necklaces:

Scrambled Names-your own name, lover, best friend, nickname, pet’s name, zodiac, business name, or whatever name means something to you. (Shown Below: Charlotte, Collective of Us, Capricorn, Kitty, Young). Shop the whole collection here.

2. Scrambled Places-state, city, neighborhood, lake, island, desert, country, continent, or any other place you can think of. (Shown below: Michigan, Wyoming, Seattle, Detroit, Washington). Shop the new collection here.

3. Scrambled Messages-I love you, girl boss, wonderful, dreamer, wanderlust, travel, see the world, world traveler, beautiful, wonderful, hell yeah, bad ass, hustle, fuck yeah, coffee lover, cheers, the list goes on. (Shown below: you can do this, girl boss). Check out the new collection!

Thank you so much for taking a look! I would love to know what you’d get scrambled onto a necklace. Let me know in the comments below!

New Collection: Sneak Peek!

March 16, 2016

A few weeks ago I was playing around in the studio trying to get an idea to work. I really didn’t like how it was going so I started playing around with some items near me and one thing led to another and I had an idea. I tried it out and I loved it! I was so excited about the possibilities and I couldn’t wait to share it. Before I got ahead of myself though I had to be smart and think it through so I decided to choose a date to launch the new collection and work back from there.

Just so you don’t get too antsy the collection launches next week March 23rd and you’ll finally get to see what I’ve been keeping a secret. Are you excited? Do you want to know more?

Ok I’m excited too and I can’t keep it all in so I’m giving you a sneak peek. As you can see the collection involves rings. I’ve made a few in the past but never really offered them on my site. At the time they didn’t really seem to fit in. These new ones are a nod to what I currently do and I think they make a perfect addition. And of course all the designs can be purchased in necklace form as well.

I don’t want to tell you much more but I do have a task for you while you wait. Think of a word, name, or phrase that is 14 letters long or less that you just love and type it below or write it down somewhere so you don’t forget it. It will all makes sense next week! See you then!

A giveaway to Celebrate and the OhSoANTSY story Part 1

January 21, 2016

Did you know that nearly 5 years ago Oh So ANTSY was born? On January 31st, 2011 I was living in Austin, Texas and I was over at my boyfriends (husband now!) apartment and I was determined to get an Etsy shop set up.

Just prior to that a friend asked if I’d like to share a booth with her at a local craft show. She suggested I knit some items but I knew that would take way too long. I suggested I used my new jewelry making skills from a class I had taken over the summer. I got to work creating and I was really motivated. I decided I would do it all so that I looked like a legitimate business when I was selling at the show. The first step was getting an online shop up so I’d have a place to send people (since of course they’d be raving about all my designs) and also I needed a name.

I sat down, opened up Etsy, and navigated to the “sell on etsy” page. I was so nervous and excited. I had no idea what to do and I didn’t even have a name picked out. What I did know was that before midnight I would have some version of a shop set up. It was such a big moment for me that I knew I wanted to share it with my birthday month.

At the time I wanted my name to be super clever and all encompassing so I could sell any number of things. I also wanted it to be math related since I have a degree in Mathematics. I had some clever name in mind but it was taken so I went back to brainstorming. Finally I settled on IntegrativeCreations! Awesome! It’s pretty funny now but at the time I thought it was great! With a name finally chosen I could officially set up my shop. I added what few items I had made and photographed and called it a night.

Part 2 will be heading your way later this week. If you’d like to see how my shop looked back then head to my recap of year 1 in business.

Now for the even more exciting stuff! To celebrate OhSoANTSY’s 5 years I’ll be giving away a World Map Necklace! It comes in sterling silver or gold fill and you’ll have your choice of which you’d prefer. To be entered to will all you have to do is comment below and tell me: If you could choose any place to travel to, just for fun, where would it be and why? Giveaway ends on January 30th and I will be sharing my favorite answer and winner on January 31st! For another entry find me on Instagram (ohsoantsy) Good luck!

Also just a heads up! Make sure to sign up for the newsletter (it’s free) and I’ll be sharing a super special newsletter only surprise at the end of next week! Don’t miss out!
