I've gone there almost every summer of my entire life and it holds a very special place in my heart! I grew up as an only child so I've always looked at my cousins as siblings. We're a very close family and I look forward to that trip more than Christmas. Seriously. No rushing around or holiday drama, just a relaxing peaceful week of solid quality family time filled with lots of fun and laughter (with maybe some wine and coronas mixed in)!</span><br />

I think they turned out so gorgeous! She really loved the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/99989693/vermeil-quatrefoil-gold-clover-emerald">Vermeil Quatrefoil Earrings</a>, but she wanted a champagne colored teardrop bead instead of the emerald jade color. My response, "Yes! Of course I can make that for you!" I already had the most perfect champagne drops, so I took a quick pic and sent her this...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Gorgeous, right? Why I didn't think that design before, who knows, but I'm in love with these earrings! Seriously. And so was the bride! She ordered six pairs for her bridesmaids and a pair for herself too!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Here's some more pics of the earrings:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I was just thrilled with how they turned out!

Classic gold quatrefoil design paired with a neutral teardrop make these earrings dressy or casual!</span></div>

I needed to shop the awesomeness too! I was busy pretty much the entire show, but I had a couple of minutes to sneak away and do a little shopping!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">First stop: Rewined candles. If you have never experienced the smell of these candles, then you need go buy some right now! They are incredible and hands down my favorite candle line! They use recycled wine bottles and fill them with natural soy wax in scents mimicking your favorite wines! My favorite scent is the Pinot Noir, but since I already had one at home I picked up Sangria (their summer scent) and Sauvignon Blanc at the show! You can find them online <a href="http://www.rewinedcandles.com/">here</a>.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Second stop: Whiskey Kittens for a lovely new iPhone case! Erica has some awesome designs but I had my eye on the teal chevron case! I'm really into chevron these days and one of my favorite colors is teal so that iPhone case was the perfect combo! You can find all her lovely iPhone cases in her Etsy shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/whiskeykittens?ref=seller_info_count">here</a>.</span><br />

It's definitely been a little while since I've posted, but I've been busy bee for sure! Last week I was preparing for the Lowcountry Artist Market. I always feel like I'm not going to have enough jewelry so the week before I go on a crazy binge and make tons of new jewels! The only problem - I start setting up my table and realize I brought WAY too much! Oh well!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">As always, the LAM was absolutely amazing! It's my very favorite show and I'm so thankful to be included each time! Kristen always does an incredible job selecting vendors and there's always a nice crowd! And this time I was between two fantastic sellers: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/dodelinedesign?ref=seller_info_count#">Dodeline Design</a> and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/inheritedattire">Inherited</a>. You should definitely check out their Etsy shops! Dodeline Design creates hilarious greeting cards, personalized stationery and custom wedding invitations. Sarah's super sweet and very talented! Inherited is a beautiful vintage shop with lovely dresses, tops, skirts and shoes! Sabrina definitely has an eye for fashion!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Here are a couple photos I snapped before the show started:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">As you can see, my table was overflowing with jewelry! My number one seller were the Quatrefoil Dangle Earrings!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">My little milk glass dish was completely full when I started and I only had two pairs left by the end! Time to order some more and restock the online shop!</span></div>

They turned out absolutely beautiful!! I was so pleased with the end design and I'm pretty sure the bride was too when I got an e-mail from her yesterday saying that she absolutely loved them! Responses like that make me love what I'm doing!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I wanted to share a little bit about the process of getting to the end design...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">She really loved these sweet blush pearl earrings that were listed in my shop, so I sent her a pair so she could make sure they matched the bridesmaids dresses.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuAyHGzy2shC6h8V6t0SdhdbL3FWHomwwMz11YyQrKTPUS2_bsDJkWjTHEp8usRtNoGlDs_4SmVokDEYCqMMXsaau5SpzFese4tJDc4CPDwG03eSS9BWUjzZKquGdPeYJAahkqT748kJRd/s1600/DSC_3790.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="163" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuAyHGzy2shC6h8V6t0SdhdbL3FWHomwwMz11YyQrKTPUS2_bsDJkWjTHEp8usRtNoGlDs_4SmVokDEYCqMMXsaau5SpzFese4tJDc4CPDwG03eSS9BWUjzZKquGdPeYJAahkqT748kJRd/s200/DSC_3790.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The blush color matched perfectly (thank goodness!) but she asked if I could make them 2 drop pearl earrings instead of just the 1 pearl. I said, "yes! of course", and sent her a photo of these new designs.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We both decided that this design was the best! The crystal at the top with the two blush coin pearls hanging down. Classy, beautiful and perfect for her bridesmaids!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">She ordered 6 pairs for her bridesmaids and kept the first pair, the one pearl drop earrings, for her junior bridesmaid!</span><br />

Nothing else compares. Not only are there a ton of amazing vendors with the coolest products in Charleston, but everything there is handmade! There will be vintage clothing, Rewined candles (my fav!), photography, stationery, dog treats, and jewelry! It's a great place to pick up unique gifts and even something fabulous for yourself - and did I mention that the bar's open?! You can even have a little drink while you're shopping! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">I want so badly for Lauren Amos Designs to be a successful jewelry business! I've always told people that creating jewelry was my fun hobby, but now I'm ready to turn it into a full on career! I am putting my heart and soul into this business and trying to think of all kinds of ways to increase my audience, by creating a twitter account, offering a giveaway on my facebook fan page and even starting this blog...but it's a hard road. Harder than I expected. But now I'm in it, I've jumped off the deep end and I'm no quitter - so here it goes! Fingers crossed!</span></div>

I love the bead show and as a self-diagnosed bead-a-holic the bead show is like paradise! I think I love buying beads just as much as I love creating jewelry!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">On Etsy, members can create treasuries where you can feature 16 items available from other Etsy sellers. There's usually a theme to the treasury, whether it be by color, season, holiday or just random favorites and people get pretty creative! The other cool part is that a treasury can get featured on the front page of Etsy! The major plus side is the massive amount of attention those items receive due to the high volume of people that visit the site everyday! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">One of my favorite parts about designing jewelry is being able to work with brides to create either custom jewelry for themselves or for their bridesmaids! It's such a fun experience talking with the brides, seeing some of their wedding plans, and listening to their ideas about what would be the the perfect compliment to the wedding day dresses!</span></div>

Let me introduce myself...<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">My name is Lauren and this is my first blog. I wanted to create a place where my family and friends can keep up with my day to day happenings in my new home and to post about the exciting journey of expanding my business, Lauren Amos Designs.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I married my high school sweetheart, Bobby, in 2009. He's my rock and I love him to pieces! He recently got his dream job as a healthcare attorney in Raleigh, NC so we packed up our apartment, grabbed our little schnoodle girl, Addie, and hit the road! My last job was working for the federal government as a financial manager for marine corps project - real exciting, huh? (Yea...not so much.) It was a great experience, but now I'm ready to be my own boss and pursue creating jewelry as my full time career! (fingers crossed!)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I started Lauren Amos Designs when I was in college. I created an Etsy shop and have maintained it ever since. In Charleston, I participated in several craft shows and over the years sweet friends have hosted house parties, but now I'm really trying to get involved in all aspects of social media. I hope to keep you updated on new jewels, my crafting process and all my new adventures. So stay tuned!</span>Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10327891051706386057noreply@blogger.com0
