Deal Bomb Unveiled!

What's a deal bomb?  I don't really know any better than you do, except that it means you score big time in terms of savings!  We wanted to have a little fun this holiday season, so during November, we'll be randomly choosing our favorite items to offer at an incredible price, and 'bombing' our shop with them for a limited time.  For example, our first deal bomb is one of our lovely pearl & sterling necklaces (shown); you can snag it TODAY ONLY for $9.  We're only offering five at this price.  Visit our shop or click on the photo for more details:

Don't Forget: We're Happy to Personalize

Personalization is key to making  your 'big day' (or any event, special occasion, gift, etc.) truly your own.  That is also what we believe sets us apart from  your 'average store'.  We (Aundrea & Erin) personally handle everything from advertising our work to creating designs, customer service, production, packaging, and shipping.  In an age of instant gratification and one-size-fits-all, we think it is pretty great to have such personalized care.  Of course, we  hope you do to!  Here are some of our latest items, personalized to our customer's taste.

It's a Golden Vintage Fall

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I got married!  My time flies; I'll trust that's a good thing when speaking in reference to my husband. ;)

While reminiscing, I came across this test shot our photographer, Josie Kern, did during our engagement session.  The deep golden wallpaper backdrop is actually in the hallway of Josie's house.  She lives in one of Kansas City's many historic homes - our city's little hidden gems, in my opinion.  Some of the most stunning are now part of the Kansas City Art Institute campus, including Josie's massive stone abode. 

Eveything about the home is somewhat magical and whispers of days gone by with a sprawling staircase fit for Scarlett O'Hara and rich woodworking that invites you to feel its smooth curves.  I especially fell in love with this wallpaper (hence the dreamy gleam in my eye - apparently I was imagining how the decor would look in my reading nook rather than thinking of my betrothed). 

Here's to the robust magic of bountiful fall harvests, to all things tried-and-true and the glow of love; and please let me know if you ever find some old rolls of wallpaper half this stunning!

What's your favorite fall memory?  Please do share...

What Do You Fancy Most This Fall?

Keep an eye out for some hints about what our fall / winter collection will look like.  Autumn 2010 has us yearning for the glitz and glamour of old hollywood.  A georgeous vintage rhinestone necklace just might do the trick - but hurry - even though our shop reveal was mere days ago (as of this post), these necklaces are going quickly.  We'll be working hard to bring you more unique finds all season! http://www.etsy.com/listing/54479477/vintage-rhinestone-art-deco

Get Ready! Our First Ever Sample Sale!

Approximately one year ago, Erin and I (Aundrea), began adding a new line to our online jewelry shop.  We began designing and creating handmade items for a personal and stylish touch to your wedding event.  Now, after one wedding fashion show and a recent trunk show, we have decided to offer our unique, first-of-a-kind, and one-of-a-kind items to you!

Refreshed by a brief hiatus at the beginning of July (Erin and her new hubby decided to take a vacation get-away, while Aundrea and her husband celebrated their wedding anniversary, the fourth holiday, and each of their birthdays which happen to fall in the first two weeks of July--of course, Erin was back just in time for a collective birthday celebration with Aundrea.  Sisters (and twins) always celebrate together!), we are ready to share our latest and greatest with you.

Here are a few sneak-peak photos from our most recent trunk show.  Look for more exciting items soon in our online shop!  http://www.meadowbellemarket.etsy.com/

Love Necklace Sends Love to Haiti: Donation Update

The final tally is in.  Inspired by the outpour of hope and help for Haiti, our Sterling Silver Loved Necklace was created to benefit the recovery from the 2010 earthquake.  From the sale of each necklace, $15 dollars was donated to the relief fund.  As of July 2010, a total of $225 has been donated. 
We would like to sincerely thank everyone who has made this donation possible--without you, we couldn't have done it!  Words simply are not enough.
