A Ribbon Fever at the Jones Victorian Estate

Hi!

Oh boy! I am having so much fun!!
It's ribbons! It's bright fun colors! It's so creative!! It's love at first sight!

Kallie's wedding is just days away and I'm working on putting the finishing touches on a few items before the big day on Saturday! She has given me the freedom to create and that's the best part.

As I think of more ideas, I take a picture and send it to her. I just love this new technology!! I want her to have the final yes or no on the projects. Here are just a few...

 With my ribbon fever, I was thinking about something special for the Bride and Groom's chairs. Ribbons!!! The bright colors of her ribbons are a fantastic and just the right touch!

Kallie's Mother dropped of two floral tin cones for the chairs... add a few flowers and waa laa! (They are artificial now but just wait for the fresh flowers on Saturday!!)

What do you do with a pretty Pink vase that Kallie wants branches in? Ribbons!! My Ribbon Fever took over! Honestly, it's contagious! I'm not done yet! I have this vase and another one, but Orange! She loved it! 

What about the cake table? Ribbons, of course! I made a ribbon skirt for the table and I can hardly wait to post it!

That's not all.... 

Look what I found? That's right... a ribbon departure!! So cute! Ribbon Fever in the best way!

Brandi of Brandi Barr Photography is the photographer for Kallie and Nick this weekend. She is creative, talented and fun! Her pictures will be so much better than the set-up photos! :)

The flowers will be Kallie's rich bright colors of Pink, Blue, Green, Orange and a "10%" Yellow to go with her ribbons, bird houses, lanterns and more!

What's your idea?

Let's get to planning...

Love,

Real Vintage Jewelry at its Best!

Hi!

Are you looking for vintage jewelry for you or your Bridesmaids? Or, how about a Christmas gift? 

I found just the source!!

Ocean Eyz Jewelry and Design, Kymmberly Arbiso: 

Contact info: barky16@hotmail.com ph (714)343-6050

Kymmberly, the owner, has been a vintage jeweler for over 17 years and has a huge variety to choose from. If she doesn't have what you are looking for, it's no problem. She'll customize the jewelry to you! She can add different stones to any piece or add a "drop" when there wasn't one.  

What's your dream? Do you need help? Kymmie is the one to call. 

Here, Rachell found this gorgeous broach and Kymmie added the "bling" for a sensation accent to her wedding gown. The earrings? Yes, Kymmie found these vintage pearls and created  beautiful earrings just for her!! Rachell's bridesmaid's colors were yellow so Kymmie made necklaces and earrings to match!

What can she do for you? "I deal in Antique, vintage jewelry. I also make jewelry for weddings & special occasions! I like to use vintage parts, to make similar to original or all different! I have many designers name items & parts, from pre turn of century to 60’s!  Ex:  Haskell, Weiss, Kramer, Boucher, Trifari and many names you might not know? Periods from Georgian, Victorian, Deco, Art Nouveau, Retro, studio to date!

I can take pieces by changing out rhinestones to add QZs, Swarski’s, real Pearls, stones, diamonds & such. Or keep it original, if you like it! "

Christina went to Kymmie for her Bridesmaid's gifts. Together, they created this wonderful vintage necklace! She found them and they were slightly different for all five ladies. They loved them!!  Each Bridesmaid received a gift bag from the Bride.  In each bag, they found  a  black vintage clutch purse  with the vintage necklace inside!! Brilliant!!

 Erica was looking for something delicate to go with her Organza Wedding Gown. Kymmie made the
pearl earrings, necklace and bracelet - all from vintage settings!! She also made the jewelry for the Bridesmaids; pink drop earrings and bracelets!!

Here I am with my vintage pink tourmaline necklace! I created the necklace by flipping one into the other! It can be longer or shorter, it was so much fun! - no clasps or hooks! It was just the perfect vintage accent I wanted  for my gown! Thank you Kymmie!!

So, if you are really into the Vintage craze, don't forget to accessorize! Kymmberly of Ocean Eyz Jewelry and Design is there to help!!

I hope you have a fabulous holiday season and a Happy New Year!
