Hope you will enjoy the return of our Jewelry Inspiration Boards, as much as we do making them.

Jewelry Inspiration Board #12

So, maybe I'm going through a grey period...I just seem to really like the Oxidized Sterling Silver mixed with shiny Crystals and Quartz. Here I have paired a few of my current collection with a layering top from Jcrew and a gorgeous sweater that I totally want! Just keep layering, and mixing and matching your jewelry. Thanks Trisha

Jewelry Custom Order: Pink Cluster Necklace

My customer contacted me via my Etsy shop and was interested in this bracelet....and wanted a necklace that was similar in style to the necklace at the bottom, but in pinks. So, I have posted pictures of the original necklace in the blues, and the new custom order necklace in the pinks.

I also posted the bracelet, so you can see I made them to match.

Pictures from Addison's Birthday Weekend

OK so I am not a baker...and I didn't want to just get a cake from the grocery store...so here is what my creation ended up looking like...Messy and Good! I do have to give Brian credit for making the cupcakes. I did take the paper decoration idea from Creating Keepsakes magazine. I just put my own twist on the whole idea.

Here are a few pictures from her party. Of course I can't seem to get the photos straight- just backwards.

These are pictures from Addison's actual birthday night. We did take out from Old Chicago and got her the chocolate cookie for dessert. She was really enjoying the ice cream!

Happy Birthday Addison!

Here she is 1 year ago...Today my baby girl turns 2 years old! Looking back at these pictures you can see how much hair she has grown, how tall she has grown, how beautiful her smile has grown...she amazes me everyday...she is a joy to watch, the things she does, the things she says...for instance just yesterday she was sitting at the table eating yogurt and she had gotten some on her shirt sleeve and the chair. When I came over to wipe it up, she said, in her sweet little voice, 'why, why, why', which is usually what I say. Pretty funny! Maybe I can get it on video and post it. It was a pretty funny thing, especially when she was able to say it at the perfect moment. Now when I say it to her she repeats it and giggles!

Happy 2nd Birthday Addison!

Love, Mommy, Daddy, and Bryson

Halloween Pictures

I still haven't figured out how to use my camera if I am not taking jewelry pictures. But here are just 2 of the pictures that somewhat turned out. I still have a lot of editing to do on others from the parties we attend for Halloween.

We had a great time at Nani's Annual Halloween Party, Bryson's School Party, and at cousin Krista's Halloween Party. It's amazing their costumes stayed in good condition for the parties.

Of course they are too cute for words!

Custom Bridal Order

I had to share these photos of a recent custom bridal order I completed for a customer who contacted me via my Etsy shop. I love how they turned out, luckily she did to! So, now I need to find more of the smaller freshwater pearls so I can offer them on my site. I would love to offer them in the 14kt gold filled (shown here), the sterling silver, and the oxidized sterling silver. I will keep you updated when they are available.

Thanks again for stopping by,

Trisha
