Christmas Ornaments for the Bride & Groom
We have a fabulous new Christmas gift/bridal shower gift idea for the bride and groom. Or maybe you are reading this and you are engaged and/or newlyweds. This ornament would be perfect for your first Christmas together as an engaged couple or newlyweds.
The holidays will be here before you know it. So make sure someone else doesn't snatch up your favorite ornament or piece of jewelry. You can purchase items securely in my shop on Etsy.com.
I created these ornaments by hand etching nickel silver. The ornament was filed and buffed to a smooth finish around the edges. A slight patina was applied to show all the details. Then it was adorned with a 11mm acrylic crystal to add extra sparkle when the Christmas lights hit it. The ornament is 1 1/2 inches by 1 1/2 inches and it hangs from a sheer silver ribbon.
We also have an assortment of traditional Christmas ornaments that are also hand etched. Select from Rudolph, snowflakes, Christmas trees, peace bird, starfish, and seashells.
Below are a few pieces of jewelry that are also handmade and are available on Etsy.com.

Beach Wedding Cakes
If you love the beach as much as I do, you will love the look of all of these cakes. This first cake is what inspired me to share this cake artist's creations. Her name is Gunilla Kroshus of American Dream Cakes in Jacksonville, NC. Her cakes are flawless and tasty too!
She recently told me that her inspiration to create this cake came from my one-of-a-kind handmade jewelry. She entered this cake in a local competition and won a Silver ribbon! The cakes were judged on creativity, smoothness, neatness and techniques used and overall appearance. Be sure to notice the coral topper!
And last but not least, what a fun cake the below is! I love how she has created the sand all over the different layers. It has lots of details like the waves and the coral reef. So beautiful and suddle, yet so elegant.

Gunilla says that more and more brides are wanting minimal decorations on their cakes, but yet each cake is unique in their own way. This cake is beautiful with just a hint of sea foam green accents and the white chocolate starfish, seashells and sanddollars. And this cake has another beautiful topper.

I have seen Gunilla's cakes in person. She recently created the cake for a bride of mine back in September. The cake was flawless! Make sure you give Gunilla a call and go by to sample all her wonderful sweets!
Happy Planning!
