We have brand NEW T-shirts in our j&k store! They are super soft & the design has a fun story behind it.

Our friend Emily is a super talented photographer/designer and so we asked her to design a new j&k t-shirt for us. We wanted something simple, yet meaningful and she had this idea. She asked us to scan some of our songwriting journals to her. All of our chicken scratch & crazy notes from writing we scanned & sent to her…

She then took all of those notes and created the ampersand sign with them. So all of the writing in the “&” sign is our handwritten lyrics. If you look closely you can see a few words, arrows pointing to different sections…all of it is our handwriting.

Anyway…we LOVE how these shirts turned out and we hope you like them too! They are all unisex shirts size S-XXL.

So…we like to tell you when we get super excited about something…and we HAD to tell you about our friends’ new store.

They started hand-making these ADORABLE signs out of repurposed wood…and they are SO FREAKIN’ CUTE. They have an Etsy store (Lenny and Jenny Designs) and we wanted to show you some of their super cute pallet signs that they are making. They have even made some with our lyrics on them…ahhh…so cute!

And, this is the super cool thing…you can custom order any word on a sign! Super cute for a babies room or a wedding gift…we just love these!

Since we are SO in love with these signs…if you place an order the rest of the month of July you’ll get a free autographed copy of our latest album, Heart of Stone!

About 2 months ago we asked you, our AMAZING fans, what piece of merchandise you would most likely want to purchase from us.

We were kind of surprised most of you wanted necklaces or jewelry of some sort. So we got thinking. We looked at a few merchandising companies to see what necklaces they could make. We looked at outsourcing a design firm to design a logo for a necklace and we didn’t like any of it. Nothing felt or looked like “us.” ANd we really wanted to have these items be something we would totally wear & love. So, then we thought about doing it ourselves.

Ta-da…Jill and Kate Jewels was born. The best part of doing it ourselves was that we could make each one unique aka the inner control freak in both of us was SUPER pleased. We could make each one differently. We wanted to make sure we communicated something with each necklace and that there would be a story behind each one.

So each one is handmade, by yours truly j&k. What that means is that we hand stamp each letter or number one by one. Each one has been thought out. Each one is totally unique. No two are alike.

We stamp them. Polish them. Then we put them in these adorable little boxes & get them ready to ship.

We wanted to make them fun, a little vintage/industrial looking & of course super stylish.  We were inspired by everything from our own names, to lyrics and lifes phrases that have stuck with us. The great thing about jewelry with writing on it is that it can be a great visual reminder to us. So a lot of the words that are on the necklaces have been really important in our own daily lives.

Much love,

j&k

And PS. Those of you wanting a new t-shirt design…we are working on that too…but don’t worry…we are NOT hand making each of them. More news about that coming soon!

ONE DAY

I see you
You don’t look the same
I hear you
But your voice has changed
I wanted to keep you safe
But you’re stubborn and strong
Think you found what you want
And you’ll never change

One day you might ask me why
I can’t tell you how I’ve tried
To keep you from running away but you turned your back on me
One day I might tell you why
Why I couldn’t stand beside you
Watch you take your own damn life

I’m sorry this is not enough
I’m broken by what you call love
You wanted to keep me close
When it was convenient for you
To have someone to use
So you weren’t alone

DON’T FEEL A THING

I don’t feel a thing, no

I don’t feel a thing

All I hear is

My breathing out and my breathing in

Oooooh a broken heart

Has broken me

Oooooh a broken heart

Has broken me

It might set me free

Just might set me free

Right now I don’t feel

I don’t feel a thing

I don’t feel a thing

I don’t feel a thing, I

Used to feel everything

My body numb

The face is painted but the doll undone

Oooooh a broken heart

Has broken me

Oooooh a broken heart

Has broken me

It might set me free

Just might set me free

Right now I don’t feel

I don’t feel a thing

I don’t feel a thing

Do you feel a thing

Do you feel anything

Oooooh you’re breaking hearts

You’re breaking me

Oooooh you’re breaking hearts

You’re breaking me

Oooooh a broken heart

Has broken me

Oooooh a broken heart

Has broken me

It might set me free
