Brunswick Bride

Having gotten the reputation of being the "gun show girl", I don't get requests to make wedding jewelry as often as I used to. Unless those request come from Ohio, which is where they have been coming from. Brides are some of my favorite people to work with. I've only had one bridezilla, and even that worked out well. This bride, like most of the others, is someone I have known for a while. She has the sweetest disposition, and I couldn't be happier for her. I love that she asked me to create her bridesmaid's jewelry. I really hope they love the jewelry they receive, as much as I loved making it.

The bridesmaids will be wearing this design.

Her maid of honor will wear this one.

Congratulations Sheila and Rob. May your marriage be filled with much love, laughter, and happiness. 

Tickets to the Gun Show!

Okay... maybe we don't really need tickets. But since we were already near Dallas for my husband's final exam at "fire school", we decided to take full advantage of the opportunity.  It's not like it isn't one of our favorite things to do on a weekend. If you didn't already know, I sell stuff at gun shows every now and then. No, not guns.... "bullets" and other shiny objects.

There are a couple of things that I love about gun show weekends. One is the morning drive. While y'all are still snuggling or waiting for that pot of coffee to be ready, we're on the road, enjoying the sunrise and the scent of the morning dew on the blades of grass and the dawning of a new day as we drive down the highway. Those moments feel like G-d is letting us know that He's got our back, and it's all gonna be alright.

The other two are music blasting on the stereo (with the obligatory loud off key singing)... and of course spending time with my husband. 

... yeah, I know... our "selfie game" needs work. 

If you happen to see us at a gun show, don't be shy, stop by the booth and say hello. We'd love to meet you.
