Pretty Pairing

Good morning! Here's a beautiful little clutch that I think would make a fun pair with my Heart Hair Pins in Neon Pink and Gold. Also, another look with a clutch and neon pairing.

More heart hair pins here.

Neon Pink, Gold, Green & Purple

Hello! I hope you're having a great weekend. I've been busy at work with lots of projects including making more pieces for my Shop. Neon has been such a trend this spring that I decided to add a little touch of it in my Shop with these Heart Hair Pins in Neon Pink and Gold. I'm working on another little project with these two colors because I like the wood-like look of the gold contrasting with the neon hue. I've also finally brought back some Little Bloom Earrings in Moss Green. And I added a Blossom Ring in Purple, which I've made several for custom orders, but hadn't put one in the Shop until now. I also updated my Heart of Gold Ring. And that's what's new for now. What's new with you?

Pretty Pairing

Amidst these busy days, I've been savoring moments with my loved ones...taking time to snuggle on the couch with my two younger C's; taking my middle C to the store and joking around the whole trip; and taking extra time to sit and read aloud to all 3Cs. Precious time with my little ones who will not remain little for much longer. And then my mom and I stole away for the rare treat of a girls' night out. My mom took me shopping for my birthday and we had a great time talking and laughing and trying on clothes. We both got a flowing top or two and I nearly got an asymmetrical skirt (I like the one from Toast down below!) but opted for a little black summer dress instead. I almost never find dresses that fit right (I'm more of a skirt girl), so it was a nice surprise to find a dress that I like and I had to take advantage. But I'm mostly drawn to two piece outfits and I love the combination below. I would like to pair my Heart of Gold Ring with this outfit throughout spring and summer.

Or for an entirely different look, I'd like to pair little pops of color, like these, with this summery outfit.

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.
