{The Nicole Collection} ~ Courage, Love, Faith & Hope

Nicole Elizabeth

She finds courage in depths many will never endure, is full of hope, lives on faith and smiles with love. She is Nicole Elizabeth, beautiful inside and out, full of life and battling breast cancer. Introducing {The Nicole Collection} ~ Courage, Love, Hope and Faith.

When my beautiful Aunt Michele and Cousin Rachel called to ask for my involvement in this collection, I immediately knew it was something special. Everything just felt right, from Rachel's design specifics to Aunt Michele's enthusiasm.

We have created a collection of classic affordable pieces meant to be worn everyday and layered with all of your favorite jewelry. Available in the Swarovski birthstone color of your choice, the collection starts at $12 with a couple pieces in the $20 range and tops out at $40 for the thick sterling silver cable bracelet. Yikes, killer deals, beautiful jewelry and a portion of the proceeds from each sale of The Nicole Collection will be donated to the Nicole Elizabeth Fund.  

Hello Christmas shopping!

{The Amanda} - feminine & beloved

My high school bff emailed me to ask if I would make her a special bracelet, stylish as she is, of course she had an amazing design in mind. I was thrilled at the idea of making Amanda her perfect bracelet! Amanda is a cup of hot tea on the cloudiest of days, a warm fuzzy blanket when the rain starts to pour, an endless field of blush colored roses that leave behind the sweetest perfume. Introducing {The Amanda} ~ feminine & beloved.

A sterling silver circle with the word "Love" is flanked by sterling silver custom sized and hand cut chain and finished off with a creamy freshwater pearl by the clasp.

A sterling silver circle with the word "Love" hangs from a sterling silver ball chain, finished with a creamy freshwater pearl.

What Inspires You?

 For me, it is the unthinkable goodness that seems to pop into my life. It's the idea that someone, me, you, anyone can make those moments of goodness happen. It is the belief in miracles. The belief in goodness. Sometimes, all we need is a friendly smile to remind us of the good in life, sometimes it takes the moving of mountains. And, every once in awhile, when we are really blessed and all the stars line up perfectly, we meet a miracle.

Meet Joy Grainger, working mom, adoring wife, loving sister, amazing friend, giving volunteer, and SO much more. For me, Joy has moved mountains and helped bring about miracles. Following her everyday life has me in happy tears constantly for all the good she does. She told me once herself, "I'm a believer that you get from this world what you send out into this world. " I believe this too, and Joy surely has a lifetime times a million of goodness coming her way.

To learn more about Joy and her beautiful family, visit Kamee June's blog post about her HERE.  Kamee is an amazing writer, photographer and person, this post has so much beauty in it visually and intellectually it left a permanent happy mark on my heart. And, once again, my cheeks moist with tears of joy.

This is Joy with her adorable family, Trevor, Madison and Rebecca.

Meet Rebecca, and the new necklace inspired by her "The Rebecca"  - A sterling silver Alice in Wonderland inspired teapot with a creamy freshwater pearl and an "R" in my new whimsical font.

Meet, Rebecca's little larger than life sister Madison.

And the necklace inspired by her "The Madison" - A sterling silver tiara with a floating Swarovski crystal and an "M" in my new whimsical font.

Thank you Joy, for your goodness and inspiration.
