The Grace Kelly Bracelet has become one of my favorite custom orders. Every customer who has contacted me to order a Grace Kelly bracelet (similar to the one she wore in Alfred Hitchcock's movie, "Rear Window") has been such a pleasure to work with. Gina was no exception, she was a dream to create for. She said she has been searching for a bracelet like the one worn in the 1954 film for over 25 years! I am thrilled to be the one to make it for her!</div>

She chose the pearl color, a creamy off-white, as well as the charms. She kept the champagne glass charm and matte gold branch from another Grace Kelly Bracelet that I had created. The other two charms were hand picked. The book locket is a vintage charm, and that perfect little magnifying glass actually works!</div>

These rosette earrings are the basis of my small business, <a href="http://www.northernroots.etsy.com/">Northern Roots</a>...they are what started it all! I hand mold each pair from clay (and have just about any color you can imagine!) No molds are used, so each and every pair is completely unique. Look closely at your pair and you will see my fingerprints in each petal.</div>

Each pair you order for your bridesmaids will come perfectly packaged and ready to gift. They will safely travel to you in a brown kraft box like the one below, with "Will You" printed on the front (secured with an adorable lace bow).</div>

Of course she'll say yes without this sweet gift, but these might just make her a bit more patient with you in case your inner "bridezilla" comes out. I made it all the way until the morning of my wedding before mine decided to rear it's ugly head. And the very unenthusiastic head of the venue got to see it alllll.</div>

Just the other day, I was playing outside with my three year old daughter when we came across these leaves...or what is left of them. I fell instantly in love. It was a cooler day (which for Texas means it was near 80), and to me, these little guys seemed to be a sign that Autumn was near. I'm hoping to somehow incorporate them into my work, but for now, I just wanted to share.<br />

This custom order was so much fun to work on! The precious bride had me create earrings when she first became engaged to ask each girl to be her bridesmaid. Closer to the big day, she contacted me with a clutch order and wanted to use a different fabric for each bridesmaid, something that would fit each personality. I absolutely loved this idea, it made the clutches so personal! She sent me a list of the girls and a brief description of each one, then I sent her the fabrics that fit each style and we went from there. <br />
<br />

<br />
This high quality textured fabric was for the "Simple Elegance" bridesmaid, and features a fuzzy flower and branch pattern (that you just have to touch) on a pale gray linen blend fabric with a slight sheen.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really enjoyed this order and hope to have many more like this one! <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I recently had the pleasure of creating this piece for a fabulous customer! She contacted me to ask if I could recreate the Grace Kelly bracelet from the movie "Rear Window" and use all hand-picked lockets. After many Etsy and Ebay searching, (and only one "locket" purchased that wasn't actually a locket)...this is what we came up with!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She did a fabulous job designing this piece, and I really enjoyed making it. If you're eyeing that irresistible bee locket, you can find it <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/84263857/bumble-bee-necklace-locket-long-vintage">here</a> as a gorgeous and very unique necklace.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I started by pouring a small amount of fabric paint on my plate, in a line the same length as my stamp. I then placed a piece of scrap felt over the paint. Dab your stamp on top of the felt until the paint begins to seep through. (I tested the stamp on my plate to be sure there were no paint globs).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3ezwLNlgZY5IDePGr4EbG0i3ao7A1xNzm4gBnTO7cP2klCXiGrcxjY5M2AxGrvfMuCZ1FNAHCKhcPzWEtMnDmgZD2qNiqSQtK2LxkFofuJgdda3Yb8DMgkaa6a6oZiHtvbe7mZI7H/s1600/fabrictagtutorial+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3ezwLNlgZY5IDePGr4EbG0i3ao7A1xNzm4gBnTO7cP2klCXiGrcxjY5M2AxGrvfMuCZ1FNAHCKhcPzWEtMnDmgZD2qNiqSQtK2LxkFofuJgdda3Yb8DMgkaa6a6oZiHtvbe7mZI7H/s320/fabrictagtutorial+004.JPG" t$="true" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It was my first visit to the big city, so he excitedly asked me what my "must-see's" were for the trip. My very first request was fabric shopping...I'm sure you can imagine how "thrilling" he found this request. Next thing he knew, we were walking several miles to visit <a href="http://www.purlsoho.com/purl">Purl Soho</a> where I came across this incredible global weave fabric, imported from Jaipur, India. I couldn't wait to get home and turn this fabulous fabric into a beautiful, simplistic clutch.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidc9OR0H7vZD3t5Gvi5pYvI_muzx0eCD43DOe3rk0urSkiIrMOoy5se76Sn74P5gXC1dLzGNH2wfU1ANKMLM2I-hJmmcJ8vvS0Xfg_30y5Zkz12ADPxFxG_1TZ2aUy4z1GvCFUu70m/s1600/linenfeatherclutch+021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidc9OR0H7vZD3t5Gvi5pYvI_muzx0eCD43DOe3rk0urSkiIrMOoy5se76Sn74P5gXC1dLzGNH2wfU1ANKMLM2I-hJmmcJ8vvS0Xfg_30y5Zkz12ADPxFxG_1TZ2aUy4z1GvCFUu70m/s320/linenfeatherclutch+021.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh43p7ee24nV2cC2rFK-v7mVXLaiS2GTa1KCtrT4QQDlMkTeDIdPZD_8feekjFMXxRLDVrh4yddy5c0cQesCYs53-fJZ_uznkNzE7vVF9karFlj61C83sfadqKN3_VBEi81wYafWpCc/s1600/linenfeatherclutch+024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh43p7ee24nV2cC2rFK-v7mVXLaiS2GTa1KCtrT4QQDlMkTeDIdPZD_8feekjFMXxRLDVrh4yddy5c0cQesCYs53-fJZ_uznkNzE7vVF9karFlj61C83sfadqKN3_VBEi81wYafWpCc/s320/linenfeatherclutch+024.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Sweet linen ruffle across the top of the interior pocket</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I can't tell you how often I am shopping and absolutely love a certain style, but wish I could find it in another color. So although you may not have 26 color choices at the mall, you do have them in my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/northernroots?ref=si_shop">Northern Roots</a> shop! Choose from this vibrant collection available for any style you like! Match your wedding colors, choose your favorite color, or try something completely new! Just leave your color choice in the "note to seller" section during checkout. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I can't believe she's already 2! I've been looking online for months to find the perfect theme. We finally decided on a spring/garden theme. I wanted it to be simple, fun, and bright...and of course handmade! </div><br />

We went to Sams Club, and chose bright green pom poms, coral tulips, and daisy's (ranging from $3.49- $9.99/bouquet). I didn't have enough vases, so we used our tall juice glasses that have aqua flowers printed on them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These little beauties lasted all week, so after the party, we put them all over the house!

<div style="text-align: center;">Last, but not least, we decided on cupcakes instead of a traditional birthday cake. Best decision ever! They were easy to make, looked adorable, and I didn't have to mess with the serving part. Everyone just grabbed a cupcake!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">My amazing friend Julie made a three tiered stand using wrapping paper and empty boxes! Another wonderful and crafty friend, Amanda, used her cricut to make our cupcake toppers!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We also had watermelon slices, fresh strawberries and "dirt" (oreo cookie pudding) with gummy worms served in a sand bucket and served with a shovel!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

You spend days, months, sometimes even years preparing for your wedding day. You want everything to be perfect, unique, and memorable. "Ooh's" and "Ahh's" from the guests over your dress, the venue, the cake. You also want "ooh's" and "ahh's" from your bridesmaids as they open their gifts. What better way to get them, than with a hand molded pair of earrings, rings or bobby pins, custom made to match your wedding day colors! </div><br />
