Snow and Graphite

Can you believe it's Friday?! We woke up to a dusting of snow this morning. I woke up several times last night and thought I heard rain but I had no idea it was snowing. My allergies also kicked in before I went to sleep so I'm feeling like a human barometer who sneezes with the change in weather. Anyway, I was busy yesterday working on this custom order necklace...

My customer liked the Graphite Flower Ring and wanted it as a necklace. If you would like to place a custom order, please send me a message via Etsy's conversation button (the icon is an envelope) at my Shop. I'd love to work on something lovely and unique for you.

Pretty Pairing

I've had a really hard time paring down this Pretty Pairing. So I decided to not edit my list. I know, I know. It's because I'm totally biased when it comes to my Charcoal Gray Flower Necklace. I admit it. I simply love this necklace and I think it goes with just about everything...

I think it could go high style for an evening out... 

Ruche

And I think it would pair nicely with a more casual knit dress...

Garnet Hill

And, of course, it would feel right at home with a feather-light cardi...

I hope you've enjoyed my Pretty Pairing times 3!

A Made-to-Order Day

Happy Monday to you! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Ours was a very busy one. Today also has been busy but, thankfully, productive. It isn't often that we see snow coming down all day but today is one of those days, and baking cookies has kept me toasty warm. It's just the kind of weather one would order up for the week before Christmas. And when I wasn't baking, I was putting together some packages and gearing up for a trip to the post office (yet to be accomplished.) Inside one of my packages are these custom order pieces...

This necklace and these earrings have been fun to make and I can't wait to get them in the mail. If you're interested in ordering a customized item, you can email me at thestripedstraw@gmail.com or send me a note on Etsy by using the Conversation tab here (click on the heart at the top of the page.) I'd love to work on something special and unique for you.
