A Fall Wedding

Are you planning a Fall Wedding? Custom Jewelry work is one of my favorite things to do, especially wedding jewels. From the Bride's jewels to the Wedding party, I love a challenge to come up with something gorgeous for everyone that's involved in your special day. Please allow 12 weeks for design and delivery.

An End of Summer Wedding

There's really not a lot to say here . . .

what a joyous, beautiful day!

Blessings and LOVE to the new

Mr. and Mrs. Zachary Hubbell

Who doesn't love a Wedding? This seems to be the Summer of Weddings for me here at Tippy Stockton. A sweet young lady who I met several years ago approached me in the Spring to design some pieces that she could wear for her Wedding Day, as well as create some lovely pieces for her Bridesmaids. Now this was a project I could sink my teeth into. Not having any daughters myself, I felt like this was an opportunity for me to dream. I have to say, this was one of the most fun projects that I have worked on in a long time. Abby's necklace was, I have to say SPECTACULAR!!! I had a lovely old brooch tucked away in my stash of goodies, and I knew this would make the perfect necklace for my sweet and petite girl.

(fresh water pearls are wirewrapped on sterling silver and attached to this lovely Vintage brooch)

For the Bridesamaids, Abby wanted something a little chunky, kind of a statement piece. She also wanted something that they could wear long after the Wedding. With a little help from an ETSY friend, we decided on these gorgeous Vintage cabachons; two sizes separated by Swarovksi crystal rounds. All wirewrapped together with oxidized sterling silver. The earrings are Vintage as well - the teardrop shaped beads are amazing and are complemented with Swarovski beads and a length of chain.

Abby has picked a gorgeous shade of Aubergine - leaning a little more towards a Raisin color. So pretty and so popular this season.

I was also asked to make a companion bracelet for a fresh water pearl bracelet that Abby had received from her Dad. I kept it simple by adding a few fresh water pearls, Swarovski crystals, and a lovely Swarovski rhinestone bead. All attached to a delicate sterling silver chain.


The flower girls will each receive this precious little piece; fashioned to resemble the bracelet that Abby is wearing, this one comes complete with a sterling silver flower basket charm. Darling!

I came home last night to find these beauties in my in-box. My jewelry is sold in a little shop in Kirkland, WA called Haley's Cottage. On a recent trip into the shop, a lovely young lady purchased the earrings above to go with her ensemble. Can you say gorgeous???

Here's Michelle looking so pretty wearing my Juliet Earrings.

And they lived happily ever after.

Who says work isn't fun. I get to do this every day! I am blessed and I love seeing the after part. I'm finishing up another wedding order as we speak. So check back soon when I will show you Abby's Wedding - September 4, 2010, and Cathy and Zach's Wedding - September 4, 2010. Congratulations Abby, Cathy and Michelle!

Road Trip

It's been a busy few months, and I decided that after my last show, which was my own Studio Tour and Summer Market here last weekend, I would take some time off. What does time off mean??? For me, it only means that I will not be doing any shows for the month of August. Truly, I have plenty of things on my plate, including getting (2) huge jewelry orders together for a couple of darling brides, plus I have the honor of creating and orchestrating the flowers and event for one of those special girls as she marries her Prince Charming. I am so excited to be doing a wedding again - I will most definitely be posting pictures of this event.




So taking time off means I get to play a little. I'm heading south this weekend to a little town near the Oregon border called Battleground. The famous Boys of Barn House are putting on a little shin-dig this weekend, and from what I've heard, I'd be CRAZY to miss it. So, I'm heading to Portland on Friday (let me know what places I should hit on Friday afternoon folks), then up bright and early on Saturday morning to hit the show. Some of my most favorite people will be there including: Retreat, Auntie Joy, of course BarnHouse, and so much more!

So, hello Portland . . . here I come! Check back soon for lots of pictures!!!
