Good Girls Go Bridal

Going bridal is much better than going postal, no!?! 
lol...

My first (of hopefully many to come!) bridal line photo shoot was this morning with one of my most favorite photographers Marie Killen!!! *swoon*

My dear friend & model Jennifer just happened to fit into this gorgeous vintage wedding gown from Revolver Consignment Boutique....SCORE!!! 

& off to Greensboro we went to shoot ....

Marie in Action!



Love this girl! 

Sneak previews of the photos coming soon! 

Have I mentioned how much I love with working on custom bridal orders!?! 
Luckily I haven't run into any bridezillas who went postal on me ;)

She's BAaaaack!!

So apparently it's been awhile since I've lifted off on here! Sorry to have stayed away for soo long...I've been on a long self journey/recovery mission. It was far too long & painful but it was for the best!  I am back & whole & better than before!! 

*happy dance**

The road here was full of tears...losing myself to find myself again... only to wander around lost again. I appreciate all your messages, prayers & encouragement!! God is good & more faithful than I! Heartache is worse when there is no closure (if you hadn't noticed all those Backstabber necklaces that popped into the shop...lol)... I had been living in what felt like the eye of a tornado...there was calm right next to me but I knew that at any minute I would get torn apart again by my fickle heart. 

Closure...sweet release!! I don't know why I waited soo long to ask for it...I guess I was afraid of the finality of it. I kept thinking I would be lost once I knew it was completely over between us, that all hope for my future would leave me. I was wrong...what I thought was missing in my life (him) was really me missing that closure. It was healing... therapeutic even! I found myself laughing while sweating my butt off working out this evening :) First time in awhile where I felt genuinely happy! Praise God! 


I leave you with these few thoughts that have been whirling through my brain...

1: Never ever not ever let a man become your whole life!!!

2: Be strong...



3: I am working on a new ling of jewelry called Reconciled...I am sooo excited & cannot wait to share it with you!

4: I'm still crazed with work so please, if you haven't already, come over to FB & play with me here!!! My newest work is always posted on there first & most of the time it never makes its way into the shop!

5: Thank you for not giving up on me!!! I love each & every one of you & pray for you all often! There was a time not too long ago that I thought about closing up shop, my inspiration left me when he did. A dear customer turned bestie told me that I needed to take him out of the equation, that my jewelry was an inspiration to her & others & that it wasn't just about me. That my designs make others happy & lift their souls :) Sweet words I needed to hear...but I do wish that just every once in awhile something was about me...lol

6: This too shall pass!!! It will... I promise! If you are going through a painful spell in this journey please message me, Id' love to talk to you!! 

7: Happiness IS a choice! 

8: I love to love to love you! 

9: Last but not least...the chain headpieces I made for the last fashion show have not made it into the shop! Please message me for custom orders!!



10: If you're happy & you know it clap your hands *clap*clap* :)

On Learning to Fly

As you may (or may not) know I am a bit bird obsessed! Their images cover my walls, their little nests that have been found on long winding walks are tucked away on desks and in cupboards... birds peek out & tweet from all corners of my home. OBSESSED!

It may have started when I was little & my parents nicknamed me Bird (presumably as a joke because I did NOT eat like a bird...haha...thanks for that!) but I like to think it's because they knew I would one day fly free in this crazy mixed up world.

Funny thing about flying... sometimes you crash... hurling & falling painfully to the ground. Sometimes you fall gracefully, your feet lightly touch the ground as you skid to a stop. I firmly believe that either way you land that you have landed there at the exact most perfect time to be where right where you were supposed to be all along. Maybe it's to learn a lesson or perhaps you crashed there just in time to turn around  & catch someone else who is falling. Or maybe, just maybe you fell into freedom!

I have a tattoo of a feather on my wrist (my permanent bracelet) , it reminds me to spread my wings  & not be afraid of crashing. The inside of that wrist is a tattoo of my favorite verse: John 8:36 ...when the Lord sets you free you are free indeed! Ahhhh....freedom, how sweet it is & oh how painful it is when we crash...forgetting that we landed right where we belonged all along!
Image via http://pinterest.com/pin/245657354643906246/
Learning to fly is a never ending process... I spread my wings to soar while holding tight to the very things that keep me grounded &  I wonder why I don't seem to be free & am stuck on the ground! I'm quite sure God is up there shaking his head saying "silly girl if you would just let go, I've already set you free"!

Today I embrace my freedom. I pray you find freedom too! It's something we have to cling to daily, it's the only way to fly! & if you crash don't worry, shed your tears but know that you are exactly where you are supposed to be!

& if you are in need of some help flying there are a few feathers in the shop ;)
