HI, lovelies!

Jewels such are a sweet, sentimental gift from brides to their maids and add an organic touch to her wedding party. One of my favorite projects is designing jewelry for bridesmaids.

Necklaces are perfect for sweetheart necklines, earrings add the perfect amount of detail to any gown and bracelets are very versatile.

It is always a sweet touch when the brides wears a piece to compliment the ones she has given her maids.

Thank you Julie Livingston Photography for capturing these gorgeous gals in jewels perfect for a bridal party.

Hi Lovelies!

Happy almost spring. We have some exciting news! It has been a little crazy since we opened the shop back up with the holidays, and the new year …but I am SO excited to announce that my long-time assistant Katy Montgomery has taken over the paper side of my business. Although I do love stationery, jewelry has always been a passion of mine that I am loving focusing on day-in and day-out. Sitting at my jewelry table designing pieces warms my creative soul. Katy has worked for me since she was in high school. She knows my customers, the ins and outs of this business, and how to adapt well. Basically she gets the crazy.

Shop reno is complete, and with that…more space!  Katy has taken up shop right here with me.  Growing and designing with one of my favorite girls has been such a huge treat! Please join us to see the new space, pretty jewels and paper on March 15 for our 11 year anniversary and grand re-opening.

For all of your paper needs, personal stationery, invites, save-the-dates and much more Social Paper Co is your go-to girl. You know where to find her 🙂

Fly, little paper birdie! (well, only to the back of the shop)

How. Gorgeous.

Sometimes a styled shoot comes along and it is everything. Organic sea foam sea glass, dainty earrings, seaside setting, an amazing cake and table setting, and as a bonus the perfect couple! Beavertail Lighthouse in Jamestown, Rhode Island was the perfect rocky New England backdrop to this shoot.

Thank you Alanna Hogan Photography, these two belong together! (Meaning the bride and her jewels, of course.) and thank you Melody Pilling for your hard work putting these gorgeous details together!

Find the bride’s necklace here, and similar earrings here.

Happy November First loves!

Everybody loves a summer wedding, but we are all about the fall wedding around here. This one does not disappoint. Wild Love Photography turned the Texas landscape into this moody yet beautiful styled shoot. She created a classic, black and gold look which was both elegant and unique and perfect for fall!

The collaboration on this shoot is above the rest and I was honored to be asked. Getting images back like this is worth sending my jewelry half way across the country.  I mean those flowers, that skirt and those invites (and OF COURSE the jewelry.)

Enjoy these photos and all of the work that went into it!

IM back home, and the shop is in full swing!

In mid-November, the shop was complete (ish) and we were able to finally get back home and settled in. If you didn’t get to stop in over the holidays, here’s a sneak peak…

Nestled in and ready to take on the new year, I am excited to show you all styled shoots from last year, what’s new in my Etsy shop, and so much more in blog posts to come! Many thanks to Lindsey Leigh Photography for capturing these pretties in their new home.

Cheers, 2018!

xo!
