So my mom and I have been frequenting the bead shop for the past couple of months, making cool jewelry. At home, Scott has a huge collection of feathers that he ties flies for fly fishing. Well, I had a pretty sweet idea (at least I think its sweet), to raid Scott's stash and combine them with my gems. Here's how they turned out.

If you like them enough to own a pair, you can buy them at our etsy shop!

I'm am going to take a minute to brag big time about Morgan's amazing wedding. I have never been to a wedding so DIY, personal & unique like hers before. She and her family pretty much made everything.

I went down with her family to the Salt Lake Hardware building the night before and decked the place out until 2 am. It was so fun to see it all come together! And it was so fun doing her invitation, which perfectly matched the entire wedding.
