Natural Weddings from North to South

Sigh.. I love weddings. They are soo romantic and beautiful and fun. I would have never thought that selling peacock feathers in my shop would turn into a new niche-bridal orders! I have been making so many custom wedding orders with these blonde feathers. It's been a blast to create something so wonderful to help a bride feel beautiful on her special day. I need a fresh and new jewelry idea to create something wonderful and well-remembered.

These earrings were made for a bridal party in Orlando,Florida for September 1st. I just added a couple of simple light silver freshwater pearls to each earring. The bridal theme was vintage ivory and silver with a bohemian twist.

Oh!! I wish I could get customers who weren't so camera shy! LOL!! Wouldn't that be the best to see how they would look on them;-) The next picture is my favorite. I love how the tree and leaves make the earrings look so surreal in a natural setting.

This set below is three out of five pairs of earrings for the bridesmaids of my New York bride. Her wedding is in mid- September. She just saw the pictures yesterday and LOVES them. I will be adding a "wispy" curly look to the tips of the feathers. The wedding color theme is more modern romantic with cream, black and dark silver.

I am making a special pair just for the maid of honor with a pearl spray style. I can't show you that one just yet as I need the seal of approval from the blushing bride first;-)

The weather this weekend was so cold and depressing that the warm sun and bright blue sky was just the pick me up I needed and the lighting was PERFECT to take pictures. I've decided to list both styles in my Etsy shop.

So, what do you think?

Thanks for visiting. Have a great sunday night.

Be as beautiful as you are;-)

DIY - Home Decor with Peacock Feathers

Hey Family;-) Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Sorry I haven't been the most chatty blogger lately- things have been a little busy at home, and peacock feathers sales have been the rage in my shop lately. With orders flooding in from the UK and Netherlands and bridal orders from the U.S and Canada, for a flightless bird's it's best features have had me flying!

In my spare time- which I rarely have, I 've been watching the Home and Garden Television Channel on cable. I am fascinated with all the amazing home decor and remodeling ideas used from even the simplest every day items that literally reinvent any home and garden.


During a commercial break I glanced at the bundle of peacock feathers laying across my old Wurlitzer piano and suddenly had an A-HA moment- I have been marketing these peacock feathers towards the jewelry and accessory market, I never thought about Home Decor!!

I grabbed a dozen feathers, an old flower vase and one of my bamboo place mats. I wrapped the mat around the vase and tied it together. Filled the vase halfway with garden pebbles and carefully placed each stem in different spots in the vase so they would stand up straight and pretty.

There you have it - a nice centerpiece for your piano or even a decorative touch to add to your window sill- I couldn't get the best lighting for these pictures but I wanted to just show you to give you some ideas of your own. I will try to post how I actually made the centerpiece later.


I probably won't be blogging for several days again as I am in the middle of moving and working on a bridal order of six pairs of feather earring for a New York State wedding in a few weeks! Plus I just got my hands on some Purple dyed synthetic peacock feathers that should be arriving from upstate soon - I can't wait to see what they look like!

What are you doing this weekend? Did you post today? Share your comment or you blog link in the comment box- remember keep it clean! Thanks for visiting. I hope I inspired you today;-)

Be Well,

The Feathers are Flying!!!!

I have noticed a big increase in sales with my feather earrings especially the blonde peacock feathers, so I tried something different. I added some feathers a supply source as well. Can I tell you I sold out the 8 stems that I had within 24hours after I posted them?!! Awesome. I am especially happy that one set is going to a bride to make a hair clip to match her wedding dress!!! I can't wait to see what it looks like.

Right now I have an Advanced Custom Order listing in my Etsy shop since I sold out so fast I had to order more. They will arrive from Upstate,NY this Friday. I haven't had any takers on that ..yet but it is definitely being saved/hearted/ bookmarked etc..LOL!.

Now, I 'm off to purchase a new banner that will reflect the shop new inventory merge.
