Happy 2nd birthday September's Bride!

I was blessed to celebrate September's Bride ( septembersbride.com ) 2nd anniversary with my Holland, MI family! It also happens to be Rachel's (long blonde hair beauty, in the photo) 1st wedding anniversary!!! And Tami (chin length blonde hair beauty, in the photo) 17th wedding anniversary!!! We had a wonderful time!
Here you can see one of the gorgeous brides I was pleasured to accessorize...
She is wearing the Theresa necklace and Sylvia earrings. Tami is fabulous in the Ella hair jewelry/veil and Elise necklace and Elise earrings. Rachel is lovely in the Vera necklace. I am supporting the Eur*Girl line.
I was just informed that September's bride is now carrying vintage and gently worn bridal dresses for those of you who are all about recycling!

I'm Committed to Creating with Sterling Silver this Week...

For so long, I've been using gold fill and 18k gold--it's just been my mood I guess. And I often receive custom requests to recreate items in sterling. I've pulled out the silver wire and I'm getting busy!



In fact, these little blue daisies may be my favorite flowers yet. Simple, perfect little blue dangles for your ears.


And these long elaborate dangles with plenty of semi precious stones on silver headpins made by me! Rose quartz, tourmaline and sapphire--joy!

These and more being dropped into my etsy shop today!

Girls day in New York

Throughout the years of working together, Marah, owner of Marah's Elegant Bridal (http://www.marahselegantbridal.com/) and I have become fabulous friends. Rod and I are fortunate to be treated by her

family as if we are family. So when I had a few extra days inbetween my trunk show at Kleinfelds, the ladies came to New York to play! The weather was spectacular so we were able to eat outside at some of the best restaurants in the city. On one day we spent most of our time shopping, eating, and drinking in Soho (my personal fav area of NY). In the morning we had to stop by the Today show to see one of Marahs favorite men (ofcourse third in line to her cool husband and cutie son), Matt. On another day we went to the meat packing district where we ate at the very delicious and chic Spice market (sounds familiar?...that's where the last scene of Sex in the city movie was filmed for Samantha's b-day).
