I have to submit an ad to Brides Florida today and I’m stuck! Which one do you prefer?!! Comment here or on Facebook! Thanks!

Christmas gifts anyone? Jewelry is always a good gift, but I can’t tell you how much I love this jewelry…and so does every other girl I know, so you really can’t go wrong here!

Like a Fox jewelry designer, Erin Sargeant, has such a knack for finding amazing vintage pieces and re-creating bits and pieces of them into new modern jewelry designs. Check out her unique designs at www.craftylikeafox.com

Of course shooting with my favorite people for one of my favorite designers/artists was incredibly fun! We did this shoot in my home, and with amazing Like a Fox jewelry, incredible styling skills by Rachel Plating, and professional modeling by Jess Hamblin (and Rachel!), this shoot could not have been more fun!

And yes…in case you’re wondering about the last name, yes we are related, Erin is my husbands cousin, but a little nepotism never hurt anyone when it comes to good art!

And, of course, the beautiful artist!

If you’re familiar with Lakeland, hopefully you’re also familiar with this fabulous shop at 201 McDonald Street. True to its name, Vintage is full of fun histoical, re-purposed finds.

I recently had the pleasure of snapping a few photos of the shop and I’m so excited to help get the word out about one of my favorite local businesses! (for my brides…this is where I buy my cute little birdie folders that you get at our initial meeting!)

Angie Suarez, the owner and master-antique-goodies-hunter has a shabby chic meets hip way of displaying her finds around the shop and I love that she places practical decorating ideas from various home decor magazines around various pieces as well…its like a little preview of how the piece could look in your home!

If you haven’t been, check it out! Its worth the stop! …And you can pick up my business card while you’re there!

Shop Hours: Tues – Sat 11:00 – 5:00
