Charming. Unique. Versatile. This necklace hangs 16'' low and adds that extra drama to an otherwise basic outfit. Handmade by artisans in Ethiopia using recycled metal beads and melted-down war weapons. This necklace is truly a statement piece. Genuine silver embellishments are made by a local silversmith. Each of these spectacular beads is a unique piece of artwork. Loop-tie closure. This piece is handmade in Ethiopia using recycled nickel, copper, and bronze melted down from previous war weapons. Most of the artisans who created the pieces are HIV positive and receive healthcare and literacy training in addition to job training. Not only are they are learning a skill, but they are learning that their life matters. 

did you catch that?
melted down war weapons
are created in to beautiful jewelry by HIV+ beautiful people

sweet 16 week of celebration


dan & i were headed out last night to a fancy dinner of mellow mushroom
pizza all by our sweet little selves
& were reviewing the last week.
i said something like, " no way. that was this  past whatever day?".
it's been non stop music.
remember my "ohmygah i'm so busy" pet peeve ?
yeah well.

we have not stopped 
like
i'm not even sure when.
in fact i mentioned last night that i'd love a little january blizzard
so i'm forced to stay home
nap
crank up my photoshot skills
read a book again in 2 days
& maybe have time to get a hair cut.

i digress...

emi turned 16 last week
& why have a big party and get all the celebratin' over in one fell swoop
when we can have multiple events.
all week long?

i'm just kidding.
when the girls were younger we always made a big fuss over birthdays
& had themed birthday parties 
complete with super cute printed invitations and all.
(before the age of evite thankyouverymuch).

we've had pony parties, pottery painting parties
madeline tea parties
gymnastics parties, ballet parties.
we've had character parties with winnie the pooh, anastasia and of course 
barbie.
as the girls got older we cruised in to slumber parties
movie theatre parties & putt putt.
but a big party for 16 year olds completely overwhelms me.
i am not a party planner
hence
the week of celebration.

emi is not a fan of cakes & cookies.
she's more of a candy & salty treats kinda girl.
 

her friends loved on her with a plethora of balloons at school that day.
 

& a special call from Kate
three peanuts, Kate :)
 






 

family dinner at Chow Baby
 friday night was friends dinner at Macaroni Grill
 




saturday morning she & i went on a little shopping spree
with her birthday morning.
destination: the new Lilly Pulitzer shop at Phipps Plaza
 
 & since ya'll know i'm so weird
i'm sure the fact that i fell. in. love
with the handpainted fitting room
( by a couple of "the" lilly print designers)
comes as no surprise.

& yes those are painted peanuts on the ceiling.
i just could not get over myself in there.
having lived all my life (minus a few years in nashville )
in atlanta georgia
i was smitten with all the peach state love!







we wrapped it up with a fancy sandwich
as we were all broke at that point
with emi's dearest friend katelyn and her mama carrie.
we had an awesome week full of making memories
& loving on our sweet sixteen brown eyed girl.

wordpress, logos & a noonday sale


morning friends!
i wanted to give ya'll a heads up~

i'm making the move
& switching to wordpress!!
i'm currently in the throws of registering a domain
choosing a template
& also creating branding and a logo for my photography.
i feel like i'm building a house.
well that may be a bit of an exageration
but doing everything at once with terminology
 i don't use in my daily life is craziness i tell you. craziness!

it's sorta always been a bit of a pet peeve of mine
when someone says, ohmygosh, i'm just so busy.
because we're all busy. really.
but
having said that,
ohmygosh, i'm so busy.

i'm hoping it will all be a smooth transition when it's all complete
& ya'll will come along and follow me there.

i wanted to let you know that we're having a sale over at noonday
& making room for our fall release
set for the first week in september.
some of the items are phasing out & once they're gone, they're gone.
others like the dulce necklace are just marked down because they've been
great sellers & we're trying to offer a temporary special.

i'll also offer a couple of my sample pieces at a  40% off, discount
 including the precious tetris necklace. 
handmade from the gemstone chrysoprase
(regular retail $220, my sale price $135 plus $6 ship-inbox me if intersted)

savannah's gorgeous AXO sister!

alrighty,
ya'll have a great day!
