Customized Bridesmaid Clutches

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. 

Here is what we decided on for the "Vintage Glam" bridesmaid, I absolutely love the pop of red!

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.

I really enjoyed this order and hope to have many more like this one!

Custom Grace Kelly Bracelet

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!

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 here as a gorgeous and very unique necklace.

Thank you Jan for all of your patience and hard work putting this together!  You were a joy to work with!

Vintage Grace Kelly Inspired Bracelet for Someone Very Special

One of my very best friends called me several months ago.  She had just watched The movie, "Rear Window" and absolutely fell in love with Grace Kelly's pearl bracelet.  I recreated it for her, with my own touch of course.

Champagne pearls are mixed with 2 matte gold plated leaves, a gray gem wrapped in gold, and a matte gold plated branch.  Classic beauty with a twist, a lot like my best friend Kelly.  

Wishing Kelly a happy happy birthday!!!  You are so precious to me!

Now Available - Dangle Earrings!!

I've been wanting to add dangle earrings to my shop for years now, and recently had a custom request which gave me that extra push I needed to just do it!  I have to admit, I love them and wish I'd done it sooner!

The backs are silver plated leverback earrings and can be ordered for any normal size earring on my site (just not the mini's or those of you who love the huge ones).

 

Thank you for reading!  I hope you're having a fabulous day!

These are a few of my favorite things...

DIY Baby Shoes

I spent hours searching for the perfect baby gift to welcome a very special little girl into the world, and finally came across this baby shoe pattern from sewingwithme7 on Etsy.  I love personalized handmade gifts, so this was just perfect!  

I used Anna Maria Horner's "Square Dance" fabric, which is 100% cotton voile and gives these little booties an asian flare. They are extremely soft and flexible, I may just have to make myself a pair!
