These accessories were created for bridesmaids' jewelry 

as a gift from the bride to her wedding party ladies 

for the wedding day and beyond.

The ShadowBird Earrings have surpassed my expectations 

as I have seen these earrings become cherished,
everyday, earrings for the bridesmaids.
And I've already had orders for more to give as gifts!

 {I have a few sets of these earrings for purchase for $16, bracelets $8}

{ShadowBirds and A Gypsy}

 {The title of this post refers to accessories, not ladies!}

So, last Christmas I made a pair of earrings for my sweet friend, Grace. Little did I know that the following summer I would make 9 more pairs of earrings and 20 bracelets for her bridesmaids and Grace and then create Grace's bridal earrings!

It was so much fun!  Here we are all decked out in Whimsy Lilac Accessories!

Grace let her bridesmaids pick out their own "black strappy" shoes, and how to wear their hair if at least part of if was "up" and she let them choose if they wanted to wear one or both of the bracelets. It made for group of stylish and coordinated,
yet personalized, bridesmaids!

The Gypsy Bracelet (in black, white, and pink) is named such because each bracelet is unique and has a tiny dangle. The one featured here was made to coordinate with Grace's wedding color pallet.

The ShadowBird Earrings are lightweight fishook teardrop earrings and the ShadowBird Bracelet matches them perfectly. Both bracelets are stretchy!

Stay tuned for {A Closer Look} at the ShadowBird Earrings!

My first accessory post was on these bridal earrings I designed for my friend Gracie

 She had a wonderful wedding this past summer and she was a beautiful bride! She's a wonderful model, but I thought these earrings needed a closer look!

This post needs a bit of a story.  Those of you that have followed (and read) previous posts will be familiar with {Grace's Bridal Earrings}. Well, Grace's good friend Julie and Julie's mom Lisa LOVED Grace's earrings.

A little over a month before Julie's wedding she still hadn't found the perfect earrings. So Julie and Lisa were gracious enough to allow me the opportunity to design and create Julie's bridal earrings. And I'm so glad they did!

Well, Julie's sweet mama came to me in secret to see if I could make a headpiece for Julie.  After a wonderful coffee meeting with Lisa and Julie's youngest sister, I had an order for two headbands and to dream up some way to incorporate vintage pieces from Lisa's bridal hat, circa 1985.  Needless to say, I had so much fun completing this super-special project.

Lisa just couldn't hold in the secret any longer and told Julie the surprises she had commissioned me for, and to my relief, Julie was thrilled! We met a week before Julie's bridal session and I was able to measure her for the cloth headband, try on a flower clip, and I had her make a decision on the earrings that just had to be in made in person.

In the end, I completed seven projects: a pair of bridal earrings, two flower hair clips, two headbands, and antiqued Lisa's wedding day, Mother-of-the Bride earrings. I also threw in a headband that Julie could attach a flower clip to and wear casually, post-wedding.

{And it all was a joy}
