Mystery Solved...My Necklace Is in the Etsy Storque

Simply Something Blue...
Aquamarine Baroque Swarovski Crystal Necklace

Yesterday started off as an ordinary day until I started getting "hearted" ♥ in my Etsy shop, Blue Lovebirds. When I say "♥", I mean a lot. People started ♥ various jewelry pieces and started ♥ my shop. Yayyyy!

I checked and was not featured on the Etsy Front Page. Scratch scratch... I wasn't featured in someone's awesome Treasury. Scratch scratch. Everytime I noticed that whoever hearted me also ♥ this gorgeous hand crafted wedding gown, I knew something was up.

Thread Bare's Daydream Wedding Gown

So, I finally just googled both Thread Bare's name and mine together and found this Etsy Storque article, Etsy Finds: Pearls of Wisdom. Wow! It just came out yesterday. There must be a lot of gals reading the Etsy Storque articles. Publicity is pretty neat, especially when it's unexpected...and free. :) Thanks Etsy! Thanks Emily!

Aloha from Hawaii!

Introducing My Two New Etsy Shops

Hi all! Sorry that I've been a bit MIA from this blog. I've been a bit busy with life and rethinking of my Etsy shop Stacy's Designs 88. I've decided to branch out and open 2 new shops...Lilikoi Cottage and Blue Lovebirds.

In my Lilikoi Cottage shop, I'll be selling my vintage flower and shabby chic colorful jewelry, vintage Hawaii finds, handmade shabby chic cottage like crafts, cute tags and cards, and whatever other cottage inspired creations.


In my Blue Lovebirds shop, I'll be selling my wedding inspired jewelry, and wedding accessories like Jimmy's hand turned pens made from Koa wood and other materials, cute handmade ring pillows, and other wedding must haves.


Amy from Bean Sprout Studios designed all my Etsy shop banners.My shop banners were created to all have a similar look in color and design so that customers could more readily recognize all 3 shops as belonging to me.

Working with Amy was a dream come true. I searched thru the different Etsy shops looking for a design style that I could relate to and I found it in Amy's Etsy Shop. I love and appreciate Amy's clean modern graphic designs, her terrific "eye", and her quick turnaround on her work. She's so easy to communicate with and is open to creating different versions of a design which is so helpful.

Amy has so many gorgeous graphic designs, mommy calling cards, Thank you cards, cards for any occasion, digital scrapbook paper...and much more. Please visit Amy's Etsy Shop "Bean Sprout Studio" .

Amy will soon be working on my new Etsy business cards and a new Blog banner. For my mother and I, she's already designed our new real estate business cards. I'll reveal those in another article. Yayyy!

Katie's Custom Bridal Jewelry Order for Herself as well as her 7 Lucky Bridesmaids

...just for Katie...
and her 7 lucky bridesmaids!

My newest custom order Bride Katie wanted something special for her 7 lucky bridesmaids as well as herself for her Wedding which is on May 5th. From my "Something Old Something New" line in my Etsy shop---Stacy's Designs 88, Katie wanted 7 pairs of earrings, each one different and unique and special for each of her 7 Bridesmaids. I did just that for her using my Vintage glass chandelier pieces ("yes" the ones from those old romantic chandeliers hanging from the ceilings), Fresh water pearls, Swarovski crystals and Sterling silver.

For herself, Katie loved my I'm In Love White Topaz Chandelier earrings but was concerned about the weight of these earrings as she had one earring hole which was slightly stretched.

Katie's "Love Always" Bridal Chandelier Earrings
A Cascade of Swarovski Crystals & Fresh Water Pearls

In trying to find a solution to her stretched earring hole, we came across these products "Lobe Wonder" and "Ear Lift" which were found on Amazon.com. If you're interested, check out the Customer Reviews for both products.

Katie emailed me a picture of her bridal jewelry inspiration and told me she wanted to have fresh water pearls and clear Swarovski crystals in her jewelry. We worked together on different designs until she was happy.

After a series of Conversations via Email, I created a long Gorgeous pair of Sterling silver chandelier earrings using Swarovski pendant shaped clear crystals, Fresh Water Pearls, and sterling silver stardust balls. She wanted the earrings to have a somewhat "diamond" shape to them and that's what I created. They look stunning!

Katie wanted a 1 1/2 inch wide bridal bracelet to match. So, I created this 5 strand Bridal Bracelet using all Fresh Water Pearl, Swarovski crystals, and sterling silver stardust balls. The earrings and the bracelet together are quite elegant. I was very pleased with the pair. I hope Katie Loves them too.

Katie's Matching Bridal Jewelry Set
"Love Always"
♥♥

After I create the jewelry for my brides, I am not done. Uh huh. No way. Now a new fun begins. I love to create a jewelry box for the bridal jewelry and also a special "Thank You" card just for my Bride using her bridal colors. For Katie, her bridal colors are the classics...black and white in modern & graphic damask. I decorated her jewelry boxes with that in mind. Also, I made a special "thank you" tag just for Katie using my Close To My Heart acrylic stamps, my trusty glitter, rhinestones, and vintage red ribbon.

Isn't Love Grand?
Congratulations Katie!
