Our Hand Stamped Necklace Collection

I've grouped all of the Hand Stamped Necklace Collection into one post! Whew! Now you can enjoy browsing all of our stamped necklace collection in one area. I will still post our new designs in their own post - to keep you updated - but I'll also add the new photos here. Don't you just love a little organization? Me too.

Very Dainty... {$24} 16" chain with a pea sized tag monogrammed with 3 letters, it could also fit a 4 letter word, "love." Paired with a hand wrapped smokey-colored bead {optional}
Yes, I made something for myself... I used a large creme pearl and I must say I love how it turned out... {$34}


Said with Love... {$32} Ok, so I made another... Haha... I am in love with these new hearts that I just got in, they are way too much fun. I actually did 2 of these necklaces for a friends daughters, she wanted to get them something fun but age appropriate. I thought this would be just right...

"It's not the journey, It's the destination..." {$62} So, yes, I know this is backwards, I am told it is supposed to say, "It's not the destination, It's the journey..." I like it both ways. If you like this necklace and prefer it the other way I will make it the other way as well. The disc is 1.5 inches strung on a 24" satellite chain... I actually think this might be my most favorite creation....

I am excited to show you what I have been up to after the first of the year, I have been taking some classes to broaden my knowledge for jewelry and also learn some new techniques. I have had a really fun time and I am very excited, so stay tuned...

New Little Lovely

First, our apologies. Leslee & I have been so busy lately with family, the business (woohoo!) and everything in between. We are preparing for two HUGE events that are coming up and it is keeping us really busy. So...we promised new lovlies and I thought I would at least post a little morsel for you. I promise there will be more to come by the end of the week. We're incorporating some new fun chunky beaded designs and also playing around with some delicate layering pieces with some fun new materials. In the meantime, we wanted to introduce you to our Layered Linc Bracelet. We think it adds just the right dash of .:sparkle:..

Our Layered Linc Bracelet $26

You know we love to layer so we wanted to show you how fab this looks with our Cuff!

Questions & Answers...

Ok, so I have to admit it. I'm not a fan of email forwards but I can never turn away any forward with the list of questions that requires you to answer. I'm so tempted by them - I can never turn them away! I don't know what it is...I'm a fan of lists, just ask Leslee, so it is quite fitting that this is my post today. So in honor of my love of lists and Hollywood, these are the questions by Bernard Pivot that host James Lipton asks every guest. So much fun! :P

What is your favorite word? yes
What is your least favorite word? cannot
What turns you on [creatively, spiritually or emotionally]? music on all three points
What turns you off? ignorance or intolerance of others
What is your favorite curse word? this is a family friendly site :P
What sound or noise do you love? the laughter in my house
What sound or noise do you hate? oooh - there's a 3 way tie..smacking - food smackers - is it too much to ask to chew with your mouth closed? pen clicking & nose blowing
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? interior or fashion design
What profession would you not like to do? Ever see Dirty Jobs? Any of those jobs would be horrid.
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? Welcome.

We'll be posting a new bracelet this weekend and we have several new beaded lovlies in the works. We're so excited to introduce you to our new designs. Look for them in the next week!

Support From the Locals

No, we have not branched out to painting canvases..... Read below!

Okay, so this is our first time to do this.... But we feel that it is extremely important to support our local artists. Kim Wheeler is a local artist in Murfreesboro and she is fabulous. She has been so supportive to Kiki and Lele, she has put our button on her site, which I am sure gets a ton of traffic and we are very grateful... So, since we are still waiting on her button, we would like to return the favor. Go and check out Kim and her crazy world of "kidlets" and her beautiful art work. Here is a pre-view for your likings.

New Items!

Ooooh! Don't you just LOVE new stuff? We do too! Especially when it's just in time for Mother's Day! We've created three new bracelets for your viewing pleasure in addition to two new necklaces. So, feel free to drop little hints to your honey for the piece you like best, or even just buy yourself a little treat. Either way, new things that make you feel pretty are always a good thing....We hope you enjoy!

Sterling silver chunky chain adorned with 3 freshwater pearls that are hand wrapped with sterling silver wire. You have a choice of color with your freshwater pearls. Maybe do one in each color to represent something or someone special in your life, or do all of the same color to make a statement. Either way, the choice is yours and this bracelet is super sweet! $28

Our new favorite! Oh we love, love, love this piece! Not that we're bragging or anything, but this bracelet it pretty close to perfection. ;p) We love the oval tag. It is the perfect size for the sterling silver chunky bracelet. The pink hand wrapped freshwater pearl sets everything in balance and compliments the "Auntie" tag very well. Remember, we can personalize everything to your specifications. We can fit any name or word up to six characters long on the oval tag. $28

The Rollo sterling silver bracelet is just too cute! It is great to wear alone or works well as a layering piece. We've adorned this bracelet with a pea sized initial tag with polka dots in addition to a charcoal freshwater pearl. $24

What a great way to make a family statement! This one inch sterling silver tag is hand stamped with your family name (up to 8 characters), and adorned with polka dots and 3 sets of family initials. The tag is strung through an 18" sterling silver ball chain. $32

We love to layer, and this necklace is a good example of delicate layering. It is a really dainty double strand necklace that features a beautiful filigree clasp. We've adorned the top sterling silver tag with a heart and added three initial tags on the second layer. The first layer measures approx. 15 inches and hits right at your collar bone, and the 2nd layer is approx 16 inches. If you would prefer different lengths, just let us know when you place your order. We'd be happy to accommodate any other lengths. $40

It's Been a Fun Two Weeks!

Leslee & Kacey

Leslee and I have had a fun two weeks! The last two weekends in a row we've had events to participate in as Vendors and we have had a blast! We've met a lot of really nice people and really enjoyed creating new pieces. This weekend we even had a birthday party to go to! Woohoo! Of course, it was for our friend Michelle's son Ben who turned three, but all of the little kids and big kids (us and our husband's) had a ball. We hope you all had a great weekend too. We have new pieces to add this week that we can't wait to show you. Just making the finishing touches...in between nap time. Ha! Ha!

Fun New Designs for Mom & Sister!

Our new Mommy Design! Leslee & I were invited to participate in a local event being held by the Parents of Multiples Club last weekend. We were so excited to be a Vendor at their event and met so many nice ladies! One of them was the inspiration for this necklace. She loved our Original Mommy necklace, but she had FOUR sets of initials to add...so we came up with this design for her on the spot! It was so much fun we had to share it with you. This necklace can fit up to 4 sets of initials on the sterling silver one inch tag, but it also looks fabulous with 2 or 3 sets of initials. Both sterling silver handstamped tags are strung through an 18" sterling silver ball chain. Remember - if you want to come up with your own design, we'd be happy to create something special for you or for someone as a gift! $52

Taken from our Mother Roles necklace, we created this piece for the special sisters in our lives. This one inch sterling silver tag is handstamped and strung through an 18" sterling silver ball chain in addition to a cream freshwater pearl. $36

{The handwrapped freshwater pearls can be in your choice of cream, pale pink, or charcoal!}
