Wendy Brandes Jewelry Blog

Never Is the Next New Thing

I’ve Got News for Ewe

by

A version of this content was posted on the now-defunct Francis blog. The blog was deleted shortly after I stopped writing it.

I’m ringing in 2010 with a big change: the Francis blog is all grown up and ready to make its way in the world without my help.

I had a lot of fun designing that blog, launching it, writing the content and keeping up with your comments for over six months, but my jewelry line and other projects are begging for my attention. Thanks to all you gorgeous readers who interacted with me on that blog as well as this one.

Thank ewe!*

Anyone with comments, questions or compliments is welcome to email me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com. Anyone with extra pocket money is welcome to spend it with me at WendyBrandes.com. Please note that all “Wendy Brandes for Francis” jewelry, is now just “Wendy Brandes” jewelry, including the swear rings.

  6. Sally, I will do my best!

    Hanako66, I can’t give up this blog because I’d miss all you other bloggers too much.

    Peggy, according to the last update I got, there are no extra skirts in the studio and I don’t know where else they might be sold.

    Miss Janey, ewe too.

    Pretty Face, you’re right. I took it in October when I first started planning to end my involvement with the Francis blog.

  10. You really did such an amazing job with Francis. The clothes really came to life with your words. It really made me feel part of the whole design process and now whenever I wear one of his pieces I feel a very small part of it. They were so lucky to have you as its most ardent supporter.

  13. Dang, woman, you always wear these colors that just make you POP! Even sitting next to a sheep — which everyone knows are total cam whores.

  17. I can relate — blogging takes up a lot of time. You’ve done an excellent job for Francis. BTW that skirt is amazing, and it goes wonderfully well with the sheep.

  20. Congratulations on a job well done.

    Creating and managing the Francis blog while simultaneously maintaining the high standards on your own blog is a huge undertaking. You did it very well, and Mr. Roth is lucky to have had your expertise upon which to rely during the launch and early days of his blog.

  29. You look fabulous honey,love how bright that skirt is sweetie!
    congrats on all the hard work managing,updating etc the Francis blog.Your effort on it was tremendous.sending love and letting you know about my new personal outfit post
    have a good day dear.
    big kiss

  31. I discovered Christian Francis Roth through you. So did my sister.

    Looking forward to what’s in store with this blog in 2010!

  34. So many Scottish jokes relating to sheep…. must… resist…

    I’m really happy you’re not stopping this blog. When I saw that you had announcement, I was worried you were going to quit this blog and I was all “OH NO that would suck.” Fortunately, I can check your blog every morning still. AWESOME.

  35. Wendy’s not going anywhere, she’s just focusing on her FABULUSH jewelry line along with new & exiting endeavors – a natural progression for a design talent such as her!!

    ps – when is cocktail night with 39th & B???

  41. I think the Francis blog was very fortunate to have such a good start in life!

    Congratulations on getting the francis blog to where it is now and bringing the Francis clothes line to so many peoples attention (mine included!)

    Francis was very lucky to have had your help and support x
