Gratitude Pendants

I am so happy to show off this new design to you.

My mother and I are big believers of getting back what you put out into the world. We try and be positive and happy and put out good vibes into the universe - knowing that it will in turn, come back to us.

We all have our "down" moments. When we think we aren't good enough, aren't smart enough, nothing is working out in our lives, we don't have enough money, etc, etc. It happens to the best of us- we get caught in our own heads and forget to be grateful for what we actually do have in our lives.

After tons of thought on this, and after my mother re-read one of her favorite books (The Secret) we came up with.....

 The Gratitude Pendant

This handcrafted pendant was created with the intention to bring joy and happiness to all who wear it. Every time you take hold of this necklace, think of something you are grateful for.

Be grateful; Be happy; Be hopeful.

May this Gratitude Pendant bring you positivity and love. 

 

By putting out into the world what makes you happy and grateful, in return you should get happiness and love coming back to you. Push out the negative thoughts and we hope you are showered with love and positivity! 

What do you think of our new design?

It's all in the Handbag!

I love handbags. From clutches to satchels to tote bags. Anything really. I wish I had enough money to have a different bag for every outfit. Until then, I can just look at all the pretties from afar.

Browsing through Etsy looking at some of The Artisan Group's items it is making me want to buy each one! Something about summer makes me want to carry tiny clutches. I don't need my gloves and lotions and the million other items I usually carry around during winter. Cute, tiny bags that can fit my cell phone and lip gloss is really I need to go out for a night in the summer.

Check out some of my faves!

1. Flower Clutch from Girl By Aileen

2. Leopard Clutch from The Hungry Penguin

3. Leather Clutch from fellow CT'er Pink Tulips

4. The Katie Clutch from Good Marvin

5. Hand Painted Clutch from Hoshii Designs

Bling it On with Anjolee Jewels!

If you haven't realized it by now, I'm a little bit obsessed with jewelry. Before I even started working with my mother making handmade jewelry, I always was "bling-ed" out. I think I got that trait from my mother, actually. She not one of those mom's who have a full face of makeup or struts around in high heels... but from the day we (myself and my sisters) got our ears pierced there has been 2 rules in our house. 1. Never leave the house without eyeliner... and 2. Always have a pair of earrings on.

Strict mother, I know.

So you can see that my love for anything shiny has been with me for as long as I can remember. In honor of my love of jewels, and the fact that summer is quickly approaching,  I wanted to put together a little "gift guide" of some special gems you can get your fine lady this summer; whether it be for your anniversary, birthday, or just because.

For all of you reading this, yes, I do have a summer birthday, and sure, I'd be A-Okay with you buying me any of these lovelies.

1. This gorgeous tennis bracelet, diamond beauty from Anjolee jewelry.

 

Anything that has diamonds, makes me look like one of those cartoon characters that has gems floating through their eyes... just call me Dopy.

 2. Diamond Hoop Earrings (because my mother did teach me right... never leave the house without them!)

In the summer more than normal, I tend to have extremely big hair.. this humidity is not my friend. So having a pretty hoop on makes me think people will look at the sparkle first, before realizing I may look like a poodle.

3.  My absolute favorite... a simple Shiny Circle Bracelet

I love a simple, delicate bracelet. Lately, I've been wearing more gold rather than silver. I feel like in the summer months, I like to go a bit more "bohemian" with the gold and brass looks rather than silver all the time (which is how I usually am the rest of the year). This bracelet would be perfect arm candy stacked with some gemstone bangles and maybe some turquoise rings.

I was so happy when I came across Anjolee jewelry... I was instantly hooked. These pieces I picked out would do wonders to my jewelry wardrobe. Hopefully the boy is reading this and will get some hints for my birthday coming up this summer.

What do you think? Any of these pieces catch your eye?

For more of Anjolee's jewelry check out their Facebook or Pintrest page! You won't regret it!
