Some treasures to share...

2011-08-19T10:22:00.001-07:00

Here are some pieces I had fun making this summer. They are all sold, but I still wanted to share.

The brooch in the picture above was actually one of Bebe's! Cool!

Be watching, bebe&boo will be opening an Etsy shop soon!

Also, next month, we'll be debuting several Breast Cancer Awareness pieces to raise funds and awareness for a cure. Bebe was recently diagnosed so this is very close to home for us!
She has a great prognosis, thank God, but a long road ahead.
bebe&boo fans can keep her in your thoughts and prayers!

Some pieces at the Shoppe

2011-06-07T10:01:00.000-07:00

So, here is a glimpse of some fun one of a kind pieces I sent off to Shoppe on the Corner in South Dakota. It was really a pleasure making these, I have to say! Honestly, that is one of the many reasons being totally eclectic has its advantages...I can go from traditional to funky to somewhere in between all in one creative session. Hope you like!

Here's a piece I recreated from my Grandmother's vintage brooch.

Just the right touch, these precious place cards are tucked into a box of glass beads. I used brown glass and gold tone links to make the bracelet on the model above.

This necklace is probably one of my all time favorites! I love mixing elements of metal with crystal and pearl.

Cori Cook's choice of the French and Parrot tulips against the snowy white setting was striking.

Here I hand linked faux pearls, crystals and silver beads, wrapping it twice with an elegant brooch.

Pearls, pearls, and more chunky pearls!

The romantic table setting brought to you by Rachel of Talia Events and Cori Cook Floral Design, of course, set in the beautiful rustic loft at Crooked Willow Farms.

How fun to add a bit of color to your white wedding day!

Thank you, Becky Young of Becky Young Photography, for capturing all the beautiful details in all the photos above!

A lot is new at bebe&boo!

2010-02-16T12:23:00.000-08:00

Jason, aka, "Hubby of the World", is helping me build a new website. Soon enough it will be up and running, hopefully making shopping and perusing for you and all your friends a fun and easy experience!

One thing bebe&boo is launching into this year is joining bride's on their journey by customizing ensembles for their special wedding day...for the bride, her family and the wedding party. After expressing this interest to some people in the industry, bebe&boo had the privilege of joining several fantastic bridal vendors for a photo shoot where a most romantic vintage wedding was staged. A florist, wedding planner, photographer, cinematographer, make-up artist, hair designer, models, invitation artist, veil designer, wedding dress contributor, and not to mention, fabulous venue where it all took place, were all part of the puzzle.

The buzz is already spreading and we're getting reservations for upcoming weddings. Contact us at: adexoxox@gmail.com to set up your consultation.

If you or someone you know is getting married in the near future, keep bebe&boo in mind for your jewelry designs. And, from here on out, know that 20% of profits from weddings will go toward the Child Survival Program at Compassion International. Not only will you be a gorgeous one of a kind bride in your custom pieces, but your anniversary will also be marked as a day you made a difference in the lives of children somewhere in the world! My husband is the new director of this program and I really believe in what he is doing. Their goal is to basically obliterate the needless 25,000 infant deaths that happen each day around the world due to such things as contaminated water and lack of medical care by educating and supporting pregnant and nursing mothers in 3rd world countries. bebe&boo is humbled to join this effort.

And, as we have in the past, we will continue to support Living Water in their efforts to dig clean water wells in Haiti by sharing 10% of our monthly profits through the end of June. In fact, if you live in the Denver area, bebe&boo will be one of the sponsors of a team participating in the upcoming Bolder Boulder race on Memorial Day. More to come on this and how you can be involved, but consider joining me. I'll be a walker, but you can run on past me. Each member will be required to raise a minimum of $250, with monies going toward several Haiti well projects.

The pictures will soon be available from our fun photo shoot to share with you here, but in the meantime, here's my attempt at showcasing some of the pieces that looked so great on the models:

I saw some similar to this in The Knot and headed to the studio to make some of my own.

The pendant above is actually over 100 years old...it was my Great Grandma's.

The 4 pictures above are taken on the pages of a Compassion International book.

The above piece looked so cool wrapped around the model's neck with a brooch added.

The piece above is a vintage piece given to me by a friend.

What's new at bebe&boo?

2010-02-10T11:40:00.000-08:00
