Chad Michael Peters & Alex and Ani

 I have loved my friend Melissa, the now creative director of Alex and Ani, ever since we had our first meeting to discuss the planning of her wedding at a coffee shop in downtown providence. So many years and laughs have passed that it is hard to keep track. With her phone call today, it was clear that this holiday season I had to show off my fresh flower designs with the incredibly hip designs of Alex and Ani at their new Newport, Rhode Island Boutique.

"The Alex and Ani aesthetic underscores the idea that what is pure and natural is most beautiful and creating jewelry from recycled materials enriches the beauty of each piece.  Founder and creative designer, Carolyn Rafaelian embraces a philosophy that is based upon using eco-friendly, recycled materials made entirely in the United States.  Carolyn believes that by creating designs that support the environment and encourage social consciousness, consumers can use their purchases to make a difference in protecting our planet and our future.  Every design is created to reflect the inner beauty of all who wear an Alex and Ani piece".

I am sketching away with the gorgeous jewelry in mind and of course, can't wait to share with you both the holiday look for the store and this exciting evening. Not only will you get to see the new boutique, my flowers but there will be lots of specials and sales just in time for your holiday shopping........one last hint at a surprise, could this be the night that my first signature product is unveiled ? What do you think, chad michael peters for Alex and Ani?.....stay tuned, this could be big.

Please come and have a drink and meet me personally, of course I will be there with bells on. Alex and Ani is located at One Bowen's Wharf in historic Newport, Rhode Island. You can RSVP to the event by clicking here. I will be sure to post more as the details unravel.
