Modern Flower Child Giveaway (ends 5.30)

May 17, 2012 By marie 80 Comments

I really enjoyed looking over the pretties in the etsy shop Modern Flower Child and I know you will too! Real flowers, grasses and other foliage are handpicked, dried and embedded into crystal clear resin. Pieces are shaped into a nice slip on style bangle or drop and given a crystal clear finish that sparkles in the light. Each piece of handmade artisan jewelry you will find is an original design and is a tribute to the beautiful things nature offers us. Learn more about the gorgeous wares and their creator below, and enter a giveaway to win your own piece!

When did you start creating your lovely resin accessories? Last year.. as a way to make my pregnancy go by faster by keeping busy…I was anxious to meet my baby.

Is the 70′s your favorite vintage era in any other way? YES. I love the whole Modern Era 1900’s-1980’s but the 1970’s has a special place in my heart

What is your favorite piece you’ve ever made? It was called “Romance”. It sold for Mothers Day. It was Beautiful!!!

What (or who) sparks your urge to create something new? Anything that would look cool! And I love being creative and artistic!

What advice do you have for someone who has creative ideas and would love to begin selling their work? Now’s the time to begin doing something you want to do…because time goes by either way…and then you either did it or you didn’t.

What’s your favorite after creating activity? Hanging out with my daughter Amelia

In which I spy on spiders in cornfields while wearing polka dots

May 16, 2012 By marie 1 Comment

I have Mr. Lemondrop to thank for this lovely backdrop of growing corn. He was driving by a field and decided to bring the family back to see the waving stalks. I found a pretty spiderweb while walking in totally inappropriate heels. It’s the little things that make your day; nature, being with your family, and polka dots. I wore this authentic 1980′s dress to an 80′s themed day at work and no one thought I had dressed up. They were all wearing Madonna cut up sweatshirts and neon. Sigh. So misunderstood. Hope your wardrobe choices receive better recognition.

I love this vintage dress design. It’s very comfortable, but still feels a little dressier than the average day dress [...]

I am staring fixedly away from the camera in these pictures because a) I always feel goofy smiling in outfit posts and b) the sun is bright and it makes me sneeze. Though I am wearing all blue I really like the shape and feel of this comfy dress and it makes me feel green [...]

No stone unturned, or on finding fun dresses where you can

May 8, 2012 By marie 4 Comments

I was reading a style blog a year or so ago and saw a blogger cite KMart as the place she purchased a dress. We don’t have any KMarts here anymore, so I was intrigued and did a quick search of their online clothing. I spotted this bright dress for summer and thought I would [...]
