Bling Bling... #Jewels for #GBKpreGlobes with @TheArtisanGroup

I am getting everything ready and settled for The Golden Globes Gift Lounge coming up at the end of this week! I can't believe I am flying out there this Thursday, still. I have been excited for this weekend for months now, ever since Valerie, The Artisan Group's owner, asked me to assist her at the gift lounge.

I have my little black dress all ready to go and finally have decided on some of my jewelry to wear. My mother has been making this insanely gorgeous cuff for me that is so bling'd out, people will be able to see me from across the room. It is truly spectacular.

Isn't this just a masterpiece? It took my mother many many hours to do this and she really did outdo herself. I cannot wait to strut into the gift lounge rocking this gorgeous piece of jewelry.

I'm not showing you my pretty black dress yet, but trust me- this work of art goes perfectly with it. I have to bring my A game here since I'll be schmoozing with tons of celebrities. [insert girly squeal here] How did I get so lucky to do this? I thank the universe constantly for the one day when I found The Artisan Group (TAG) randomly online. The day Jewels For Hope was accepted into this group was one of the biggest turning points for Jewels For Hope. That day changed our lives. I would never be able to go to California and participate in these extravagant gift lounges if it wasn't for Valerie. We will forever be grateful to this amazing woman for starting such a sensational organization and accepting us into it.

Let the countdown to the gift lounge begin!!

Golden Globes Gift Lounge, with @TheArtisanGroup

It's that time again... Award Season. Which means The Artisan Group will be going to numerous gift lounges for The Golden Globes, Oscars, Emmys and many more!

Well, I am lucky enough to be going to The Golden Globes Gift Lounge in less than a week! Yep, less than one week I will be leaving cold, snowy Connecticut and going to warm, sunny California where I will be schmoozing with celebs and promoting gorgeous handmade items.

I am honored to be a part of such an amazing group. I was there last year for The Oscars Gift Lounge and had the absolute time of my life!

The Golden Globes are next Sunday, so I will be there from Thursday to Sunday night. Time is speeding by! I actually have my outfits ready believe it or not, but still am perfecting my jewelry and how I'm going to do my hurrrrr. I'll keep you updated though don't worry!

Stay tuned until then!

Jewels For Hope's New #Jewelry Inspired by @RoseFalcon

We teamed up with singer/songwriter Rose Falcon to make a new special set of jewelry! If you've read any of my recent posts, you know my mother connected with Rose and she was sweet enough to wear our jewelry on the CMA Awards Red Carpet when her and her husband Rodney Atkins attended this past November.

We just finished making the set of bracelets for Rose. We love them! Hopefully Rose will receive them soon and we'll get some great pics of her wearing these special bracelets.


Rose Falcon's Inspired Line; The Legends 

We think these bracelets are great in a set, stacked, or work separately. Rose is so great to work with and we are just honored she is rocking our charity jewels! We will be donating a portion of the profits of these bracelets to Young Survival Coalition. 

What do you think of the line!?

California, Here I Come! Well... In a Month..

I am so excited to announce I will be going to The 2014 Golden Globes Gift Lounge hosted by GBK, in California next month!

I will be going, of course with The Artisan Group, like I did for the 2013 Oscars Gift Lounge.I can't wait!!

It's about a month away. Which is scary. I still don't have my outfits yet. Ah! I do have a necklace though, I am dying to wear! I made it just for this occasion, so now I just need to find an outfit that will go with it.I am in love with this necklace and think it will really pop! What do ya think?

Doesn't this just shine! I am in love with this piece. I actually had to redo it like 3 times to get it to lay just the way I wanted it to. I am happy I kept at it and completed it, because this is just so me. Now, I need to figure out what outfit goes with this!

Once I have my outfits picked out I will definitely take some photos and show you. I will be there for 2 full days, so I need another necklace and of course some arm candy. Hm... decisions, decisions!

#RodneyAtkins & #RoseFalcon wearing #JewelsForHope #Charity #Bracelets

My mother, believe it or not, made friends with Rose Falcon. Rose is a singer/songwriter who has written numerous songs for tons of artists including Lady Antebellum and Faith Hill. She also, just recently married country star Rodney Atkins.

If any of you actually know my mother, she is miss social. Everyone comes up to her when we are out and starts telling her their life story. Complete strangers. All the time. My mom is just such a nice woman everyone feels connected with her.

Online, it works the same way. My mom connected with Rose- and they became friends. Rose actually called my mom up a couple of times- she is so sweet!! I'm so happy my mom made this connection- Rose is such a good hearted woman!!

Well, something absolutely amazing I have to share with you... Rose wore our bracelets at the 2013 CMA Awards! YES. CMA AWARDS!

We are huge country music fans in this house, so this was a gigantic thing for us. We were like kids at Christmas!

Look how amazing Rose (and Rodney) looks!

Here's a close up of the bracelets....

How awesome right!!! She's wearing our Breast Cancer Awareness Pearl Bracelet and our American Cancer Society Black Glam Bracelet!

Along with her rocking these on the red carpet (the red carpet, can you believe it!) we also spotted Rodney wearing our American Cancer Society Unisex Beaded Bracelet during one of his performances!

We are so happy! Don't they look amazing rocking our charity jewels!

We are working with Rose on some special new pieces so stay tuned! Once we have more info we'll definitely let you know!!
