Geneva necklaces

These one of a kind hand made dupioni silk, leather and felt necklaces are embellished with freshwater pearls and vintage buttons. I love these and am actually having a hard time parting with them. They will be for sale tomorrow at Hopi elementary and just might make it into my, as of now, defunct etsy shop ;-)

How Charming...

Sorry I couldn't resist that title for this blog post! Lately I've really been into making these adorable and vintage inspired antique brass necklaces and earrings. I love nature which is why there's a lot of birds, nests, feathers, flowers, etc. in this new line of accessories. They can also be personalized with a hand stamped letter of a loved one.

They're available at the Trunk trading co. or you can also email me directly. They'll be up on the etsy store soon!

Cool Wedding

I just had to post this article from Brides Philadelphia magazine, it's my brother-in-law and his Gorgeous bride!  Though they got married a year ago I feel they embodied the spirit of the new weddings, detail, detail, detail and that does not automatically equate to $$$.  They found creative ways to make their day special.  Leann's dress is vintage from our own Frances Vintage here in Phoenix, it was cream lace with a butter cream sash and she accessorized with red ballerina flats and a pretty, petite red bouquet of wild flowers.  The Groom wore a coordinating red boutonniere and a vintage inspired suit complete with hat.  The article talks about their money saving choices, serving hamburgers and hot dogs picnic style, making lavender sachets as gifts.  They also had fun touches like a candy bar and colorful backdrops set up for people to have their portraits taken by a professional photographer.  I had a great time at this wedding and really appreciated the special touches, especially the miniature wedding cakes made out of rice crispy treats, so cute!  They definitely inspired me!
