Sharing my love of romance and beauty!
" And what is it to work with love?
It is to weave the cloth
with threads drawn from your heart,
even as if your beloved
were to wear that cloth."
As I continue to grow as a designer and creator of bridal gowns and slippers, my belief continues to be woven into every item I make. The truth is every beautiful bride approaches her day having been made beautiful by so many women sharing themselves with her. Teachers, mentors, friends, cousins, aunts, sisters, grandmothers and mothers all stitched a bit of themselves into the beautiful woman she has become. By taking vintage hand work ,which is a visual of this desire to share beauty in the every day, and repurposing it to adorn a bride on her wedding day, I am creating a bit of poetry to be worn.
I'm inspired by romantic and historical themes, my trips to Italy, rose gardens, lilacs, and lace.
A portion of my profits is given to a non-profit organization that rescues children from human trafficking has really grabbed hold of my heart. You can read about that here:

Thanks for taking time to get to know me a little.
Many blessings to you!
