Busy Bee...

 

When Kyle and I started house hunting this was one of the first houses we went into. It's about a 50 year old house, and it seemed like NOBODY put any love into it  for about 30 years now. When we walked into it I saw the potential and Kyle saw the work!

Well, now it's ours and we've been putting a lot of love and work (Kyle was right about that) into it! We're going to change it from just a house to make it our home. It will be a home just in time for the wedding in March, and I can not wait. It's been a super busy life, but full of TONS of blessings!

When you're wondering about me being 2 weeks late on posts...I'm probably putting some love and work into the house making this our home. :)

Fall Weather = LOVING LIFE!

The fall weather is definitely here...no doubt! It is absolutely beautiful and puts me in a permenant good mood. Here in the South this cool and dry weather is almost as joyful as the Christmas season! To me the fall is like the "kick-off" to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. LOVE IT! Check out some jewelry that is perfect for this fall...ENJOY ♥

Way Too Long!

Wowzers! I can't believe it's been this long since I've blogged. I have 100 million things (GREAT THINGS) keeping me super busy. Between working on my masters and planning a wedding, this point of my life has been FULL of so many blessings! Even though it causes me to neglect my blog, I will take a busy life over a slow life anyday.

Okay, the Saints lost in over time yesterday which is no fun! But lets forget about it, and check out this necklace that would look perfect on YOU during that next Saints game.

I'm on The Knot for Tying the Knot!

Soiree earrings

I'm not really sure where all these cheesey blog titles are coming from? Maybe it's been since the proposal I am in total cheese mode? If you know me well your reading this now thinking, "Sista, you are ALWAYS in cheese mode". So just imagine that times a million for the next 8 months!!!  

Any-who I'm LOVING every second!

Very Fond of This Frond...

Gold Frond Necklace

Frond (n): an often large, finely divided leaf, esp. as applied to the ferns and certain palms.

Okay so the leaf on this necklace is so not comparable to a leaf of a fern, but I liked the name and I liked that it ryhmes with fond...fond of this frond. I love simple gold necklaces like this, because if you're like me and you can't decide which necklace to wear...wear them all! Layer them! I love the look of layered necklaces. Check out this necklace HERE that I just listed in my shop. Maybe you might become fond of this frond. Haha :)

He Asked and I Said YES!!

Y'all just thought I was way behind on posts...Now I am engaged, and my mind is in a whole different world of happiness!! Kyle and I have been engaged five days now and these have been the best days ever. Everything  about that night was perfect!

The proposal was more perfect than I could have ever imagined! Simple (just like us), but with a whole lot of thought (just like KYLE!). After he proposed both of our families were all waiting for us at his parents house. Our families mean a lot to each of us so this was the perfect end to a PERFECT night. Kyle has ALWAYS been good at making everything so special!!!

AHHH! I really feel like the luckiest girl in the whole wide world! For the past six years the Link's have always made me feel like family, but I can't wait to LEGALLY be a part of such an amazing family!

Brittney Link....I'm going to love that!!!!!!!!!!! ♥

Vivacious Orange Earrings

Chalky Affair Earrings

I'm back with NEW Listings!!

Just in case you've forgotten me, because I have been away from my blog for SO LONG...I will go ahead and reintroduce myself - Hi, my name is Brittney!

I just started grad school and the time I spend on my computer now consists of research papers and studying. I hate not blogging regularly. 

Sunshine South Necklace

Any who - the creating NEVER EVER EVER stops! I am a creative person so I'm definitely exercising the RIGHT side of my brain more than my LEFT (not good for grad school)!! So, research papers or not I've got sooooo many new ideas and I am still creating OFTEN. I'm working on getting them all listed, but here is my latest. Follow each link above the picture to find out more information. :)

Tender Pearl Necklace

If you've been following along you know I've grown up in the South, and you've probably figured out my love for the history, culture, and traditions of the South. Southern belles, "yes mam" and "no mam", my mom's sweet tea, college football games, the SAINTS, Sunday morning church, and spending the afternoon swinging on the back porch (in100 degree weather with 90% humidity)....Between the bright yellow, the vintage lace, and pearls I've been using you might get a little feeling of the South. These are all the things that inspire me to create.

Flutter Bracelet
