Yes yes I know!

So sorry I didn't keep my word and update! Things have been kinda crazy. Between unexpected road trips and a day of wedding planning, I've had some pretty busy days!

Nick and I got the reception hall layout all figured out. He spent a lot of time running around with a tape measure and doing calculations - definitely his type of thing.

As for now, I am exhausted... I'll make a point to write more tomorrow.

Etsy Pick of the Week - Skye Jewelry

I found this bracelet in the sale section in Skye Jewelry's shop.
I absolutely love the combination of the silver with those gorgeous aqua Swarovski crystal rounds. The light nature and gorgeous sparkle of this bracelet would make it a sweet summer accessory.
The really great thing is that Skye Jewelry is having a Memorial Weekend sale, so this is in the sale section! It may be worth checking out.

Changes... already!

This blog needs 2 things - a little bit more frequent updating and some sweet pictures. For instance, today I helped a friend sew a cover for her dog's bed. I was quite proud of the fact that I did the sewing, it looked reasonably nice, and I didn't get the thread all tangled in the machine - not even once!

That being said, I am going to my cousin's wedding this weekend, so I probably won't post tomorrow. Next Monday I"ll start updating every day with the awesomeness that is me and any fun stuff I find to share.

See you then!

The Attack of the Trees

I have some pretty bad springtime allergies. Needless to say, I've been cooped up inside recently, hiding from the oak pollen. Yesterday I finally went stir-crazy and went on a bike ride with my fiance.

It is GORGEOUS outside right now. Trees are turning green, birds are singing, flowers are blooming. I should have brought my camera.

I feel so much better now. It was definitely worth it. My itchy eyes will have to deal.

PS. Check it out! I'm on Twitter now. Fun for all!

Etsy Pick of the Week - Aspire by Aspiranti

Check out these "barefoot sandals" by Aspire by Aspiranti. I don't think I've seen anything quite like these before. I love them! They would go great with a cute sundress in a grassy park, the beach, or wherever else you might go barefoot.

You can find these ones and more at aspirebyaspiranti.etsy.com. She also has some more traditional pieces if you are more interested in necklaces and earrings.

Necklace In Progress

This is a picture of the necklace I am working on. The wires will all be covered in beads when I am finished. The four strings wrap around and tuck through the hoop. I'm excited to see what it's like when it's finished!

I'm going to start a regular posting schedule of Monday-Wednesday-Friday, probably in the afternoons. Check back tomorrow for my Etsy Pick of the Week!

Up and running!

The shop is now up and running. Time to celebrate! WHOO HOO! Time for a grand opening sale! Pricing is low. Shipping is free.

I've been happily working on my jewelry. 3 things up! I've got a new wrap-around necklace I'm working on - red and orange, glass and metal beads. It's gonna be gorgeous! I hope to get that up soon.
