Festival of Trees Donation!

What an amazing way to start off the holidays by donating a small jewelry tree to the festival of trees as a family. The kids were so excited to help, and we let them know that all the money would go to the hospital to help the sick children around Christmas. They were so proud and so was I to load up the Christmas tree with lots of fun stylish jewelry in hopes that someone special would get this tree. The tree sold for $150 dollars and that felt so good to contribute as a family. Thanks for your support little cuties. We named the tree "Not tall, but stylish of all." Our goal as parents this year is to remind the kids to always give, and the wonderful way it makes you feel, especially at Christmas time! Merry Christmas!

A Classy, Timeless Wedding!

I am so excited for Kisha and Mike to celebrate such a beautiful day. Kisha is Kaeden's new preschool teacher and he thinks she is great. He has said "but mommy she can't get married, because she is my teacher." I told him lots of teachers are married and she will still be there with him. We hope you have a wonderful day. They chose amazing fall colors for the wedding. The dresses are a dark classy brown, so for the jewelry we came up with something totally unique. Long dainty earrings and bracelets for the bridesmaids and flower girls in a range of gorgeous autumn colors. Sage green, cream, dark brown, and soft orange. I think they turned out amazing, and each one custom made and designed a little differently. We wish you a fabulous day, especially to such a darling couple.

Another Amazing Wedding!

It was so fun to visit with my very cool cousin Clint and his beautiful fiance Chelsea. As you can see from their awesome engagement pictures these two are bound to have a fun, exciting, full of life marriage. I really enjoyed visiting with you and hearing how you met and a few fun things about your relationship. I always say I love doing jewelry for engaged couples. I love the excitement in their voice, and the joy that awaits them. When you've been married 10 years, you feel like an old woman. So it keeps me excited and feeling younger because the time really goes by fast. I was able to find simple black pearls for the bridesmaids. I think they will be gorgeous. Chelsea also found a few cute things for herself. I hope you have a wonderful day on Saturday and wish I could be there. Best of luck to a fun, sarcastic, energetic, talented, sweet couple. Have a fantastic day! My family wishes you the very best!!!!!

What an Elegant Wedding!

I am proud to say that my sweet cousin Rob and his beautiful fiance Alyssa are getting married tomorrow! It was so fun to visit with them and feel the love and excitement from them with the wedding day so close. They are a darling couple and I am proud to have helped make their wedding jewelry for their bridesmaids. I was so excited that Alyssa designed them just how she wanted. I don't know what could be more beautiful than wedding colors that are red, black & white. Sometimes black beads are hard to find. I know she liked small square beads so on my hunt to find the perfect beads she picked out I could only find these below. I tried to make them just as she designed small, dainty, classy, elegant beads that would be perfect for her special day. Alyssa I hope you love them. They reminded me of your style, square, simple, small, and so beautiful. Congratulations on your wedding tomorrow. Thank you for letting me be a special part of your day. Love you both!

Adorable Baby Girl Bows!

I had a friend tell me that I had to post a bunch of pictures of Kaitlyn wearing her hair bows. This is her all throughout her life, since she walked out of the hospital she had a bow on. Crazy I know, but girls are so much fun! I make Korker bows, headbands, baby blessing bows, tulle bows, big blingy bows you name it. If you have ever seen our daughter then you know she always has something new and fun to wear weather it is bracelet's or bows. Take a took at some of them so you can get an idea of what I have and make. If you need a certain color for a family portrait or a wedding just let me know. I always make custom orders!

Formal Occasion Jewelry

OK this has been so fun to make custom jewelry sets for a special formal occasion. Such as high school prom, college formal, or a cruise formal night. Now a days we girls spend a fortune on a gorgeous dress or outfit for our special night out, and we just can't find the perfect jewelry to top it off. Well worry no more, because I have it for you, and if I don't I can custom make it for you. Some of the hottest Prom dress colors these days are orange, hot pink, lime green, aqua blue, and black & white. I have all these colors in my fun chunky styles. I also have my traditional pearls for a very elegant evening. One of my favorite custom makes was for a cheerleader at Davis High. She had an absolute gorgeous tangerine prom dress & went everywhere to find jewelry and she couldn't find a thing to match or that was exactly what she had in mind. When she found me, she was so excited. I custom made her a set that matched perfectly and was exactly what she wanted. She said she got more compliments on the jewelry than her hair, (which took three hours to do - and it her hair was beautiful.) So it made my day that she was so happy. This is why I love doing jewelry!

Wedding Jewelry

If you find a style you like and it will go perfect for a gift for your bridesmaids or flower girls, just let me know. I can customize your perfect jewelry for you, and everyone in your line, including the mothers, and grandmothers. All for a very fair price. I have been doing weddings for a few years and love it. I love to see everything come together and the jewelry just helps complete a perfect day! I have pearls, to chunky beads, and the little flower girls look so dainty in a little ribbon & pearl necklace and a matching little ring or bracelet, so cute!

Earrings, Earrings, Earrings!

I have tons of earrings for sale! Over 100 or more. I know a little excessive but they are so fun, and each one designed differently by me. I have mother of pearl shells, abalone shells and different stones. My shell earrings are $8 and all other stones, glass beads, wood, silver, flip flops - $6!!! They are all stainless steel posts. That is the reason I can sell them for less. My ears are fairly sensitive and they don't bother me. You have got to take a look at the variety I have. I have styles for 12 year old girls to the hippest grandmas you know. I can say that because my grandma loves to wear my jewelry too!

Baby Girl Hair Bows

I have a large variety of hair bows to choose from. In pinks, purples, yellows, red and some turquoise blues and sage green. These are $3.50 each or 2 or $6. They are also fun to clip into the stretch baby headbands below. It makes people think you have several heads bands when you clip in different bow every day! That's my secret. My husband TJ is so funny he always says, "Why does Kaitlyn always need a bow on, and I reply sweetie she is a little girl and they are so fun to play dress up with:) I don't think he can stand it, but people always stop me everywhere I go and ask where I bought her bows. I guess the crazy thing is Kaitlyn being my little model has brought me many sales!

Stretchy, Soft, Baby Bands

These baby girl headbands are so fun for a baby shower gift, a friend, a blessing, a birthday, your daughter, you name it. They are $5 or 2 for $8 and so cute! I have pinks, yellow, sage green, cream, purple, & orange to choose from. I also make special occasion bows and headbands for all holidays. You can put these on your baby as early as a newborn. They stretch and they are so soft that they won't leave marks on your baby or hurt her. Kaitlyn our little daughter wore one home from the hospital. It fact her hair is so blond and thin, she still wears them and looks darling in them. I found the trick is to have our girls wear them young and then they get used to it. She never tries to pull them out and now that she is 1 1/2 she asks me for her pretties! She's not ready to go until her bows and bracelet are on. It's darling!

Any Baby Bling Lovers?

These baby binky holders are fun, baby gifts. I have all different styles and colors. I have football, soccer, and baseball binky holders for the boys, and butterflies, pinks, purples, and pearls, ect. for the girls. The baby girl binky holders come with a matching bracelet for $10 a set. And the boy binky holders are $7. They make a darling handmade gift for friends and family.

Tiffany & Company Catalog

This is kind of hard to see but it's the real Tiffany & Co. catalog from New York. TJ and I were lucky enough to go there. That was obviously before Kaitlyn our 2ND baby was born. We decided we will just wait till the kids we are older before we travel there again. It's hard to leave them and even harder to take them. Anyway, we got several catalog's and people have enjoyed comparing styles and prices to the real Tiffany & Co. They are suprised how close to identical the replica's are.

Replica Tiffany & Co. Jewelry

Did you think I made these? Now that would be serious talent. Replica Tiffany & Company is one of my best sellers! Especially being in Utah because we don't have a Tiffany & Co. here. Who wants to pay $250 a necklace when you can buy the replica necklace for $35 each. It looks almost the same. I fool people all the time. I think they are awesome! I know the quality of silver isn't the same. Mine have tarnished over the years, but clean up well with silver or metal polish. For myself I would rather pay a ton lower price and have several styles. I almost always get compliments on this jewelry every time I wear it.

Longer Length Jewelry Sets

This style is similiar to the red silver set below. I love this color it's a sage green. It has two different colors green that blend together awesome. I charge $30 for the set of three (longer necklace style and extra silver added.) They look darling with a lime green shirt, jeans, or a fun summer dress!

Chunky Jewelry Sets

The jewelry on the left is a brown and red set with a pair of shorter dangle earrings. The lime green in on the right. Both are fun sellers for summer. You can dress it down with a white tee shirt or dress up in a collared shirt and skirt!

Longer Length Jewelry Sets

This is a fun style too. The longer necklaces are totally back! The bigger the beads the better and this set has extra chunky silver beads added for extra style and fun! I charge $30 for the set of three!

Chunky Jewelry Sets

This is the tangerine and brown & silver set. The brown is a little chunkier style, it's darling on!

Chunky Jewelry Sets

This is the amber and cream, the aqua and cream. Again you can wear these colors with anything, jeans, tee shirts, spring dresses, & skirts. They are so neutral you can choose any style clothing.

Chunky Jewelry Sets

This is the purple set and red set with pearls. The red set also shows a matching ring with it. Many wedding I do like to choose a color that they have chosen for the wedding and add pearls to the bracelet's, necklace's, and earring's. It makes it look classy and still modern and stylish. I promise your bridesmaids, mothers, and flower girls will enjoy wearing this gift a lot after the wedding is over.

Talia's Sassy Custom Rings

These rings are the hottest seller this spring. Ok I will admit, I copied the rings from Brass Plum in Nordstrom a few seasons ago. They are still going strong though. There prices were $20 a ring and mine are $6. They are bright, fun, and draw attention to any outfit or style you are wearing!

Just me & my babies!

Just me & my babies!
