some new stuff!

my memory card died so i can't take professional pics of these or post them on my website until my new card comes in but i wanted to be able to show them off!! :)

my first pair of earrings! (well for my store anyways! i've been making earrings for myself for a few years <3)

here is a new purse i made last night :)



and here are the vintage brooches i got today at the flea market!! yay!

<3

edited to add: even though i can't take professional pics of the earrings yet i decided to post the first pair on my site anyways. they sold within 45 mins of posting! so i'm getting together the package for mailing. since i named my company sweet october, i just realized i can use lots of the stuff i had left over from the wedding to make the presentation extra special for my customers! i wrote a little thank you note and packaged it in a pretty little sheer bag and attached a silver charm. :) this is so exciting! my FIRST sale!!!!


and heres another new pair!

quicky update!

hey y'all! just doing a quick update! i've been BUSY!

not many of you know but i opened up my own online store. it's on a website called Etsy. it's a site where you can sell vintage or handmade items. it's really neat. i'm selling clutch purses and jewelry. i made my first clutch two weeks ago and made my second last night! it turned out SO GOOD! i'm so excited to be doing this! it's been my dream for awhile so i'm glad that i actually had the guts to do it!

heres the clutch i made last night. i'll be embellishing them with brooches and bows!



it's been hard to find fabric here in charlotte. there isn't a joanns fabric and the fabric store we do have isn't any good. so i've had to be creative. i was at target the day before yesterday and they had LOTS of stuff on super clearance. i got the genius idea of buying these gorgeous fabric shower curtains and using them for the purses! it's actually cheaper than buying fabric and the they are so pretty!

here are some of the fabrics i got!


and here are some brooches i got on clearance at michaels!


i also did my business cards as well as my banner for my shop!


and you can visit my shop at this website address:
