Every girl loves jewelry! Initialed Jewelry from Designs by Tahra

 I love jewelry.  Really is there any girl that doesn’t?

I love initialed jewelry even more.  I am Southern after all. We tend to monogram and initial anything that sits still long enough.

So when someone combines jewelry with my initial. swoon!

There’s something so personal and special about jewelry that is made custom just for you, and that is just what Tahra from Designs by Tahra does! She hand makes each piece of her gorgeous designs, and they are truly unique!

Here is my beautiful piece that Tahra sent me, with an H for…you guessed it Heather! I have fallen in love with it, I wear it almost everyday and even combine it with other pieces for a fun layered look.  Take a peek at those beautiful earrings as well.  Those were my birthday gift from Vanessa this year, also designed by Tahra.

So side note here…have you ever tried to take a picture of yourself with a tripod and timer, yea…this was 200 photos later. no lie. grin!

 

Not only are Tahra’s pieces beautiful, but her packaging is lovely! Your piece will come in a darling blue box tied with rich a rich dark brown bow and accompanied by a sweet note from Tahra herself!

 


Here’s a few more pieces from Designs by Tahra that I know you’ll love!

How about giving the princess in your life her own piece of custom jewelry! I love this Princess Handstamped Necklace is the perfect combination of sweet and sassy! This necklace has two hand stamped sterling silver pendants and a pink swarovski crystal. The first pendant has the initial of your choice and the second one has a hand stamped crown.

This  Handstamped Copper Mommy Necklace has a rustic feel to it.


 

The pendant has been oxidized and the edges are turned up to add to that old feel. It has a genuine faceted turquoise bead added which pairs well with the copper color.  Tahra includes a sterling silver angel wing to represent the hope we have that our children are safe in our arms. This piece can be customized with up to three stamped names, for a truly one of a kind piece!

 

Another piece I fell in love with is this gorgeous Copper and Sterling Textured Cuff Bracelet!


Tahra can also customize this piece with any word that you would like.  This piece would be so perfect for a teen or young adult…okay so I’m not either of those and I would love this as a gift…hint. hint. 😉

So if anyone out there is wondering what I would like for Christmas..er um…I mean if anyone out there is already looking over that long Christmas list and wondering what to get the women in their lives, why don’t you stop on by Designs by Tahra and visit her gorgeous shop!

    The necklace really looks nice. I’m sure Jane would like that for Christmas. Shhhhh. Don’t tell her. I’m gonna check out Designs by Tera. The picture with tripod and timer is good. It must be the subject.

I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake a I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake and grabbed a banana out of the freezer and was about to put it into my shake before I realized it was a frozen egg roll. Sooooo that's how my day is going so far! 🤪How about you?

It's honestly fairly representative of my state of mind these days as I can't seem to make the date on the calendar match the date in my spirit because it feels like it should be January 45th. Every year this month drags on and every year it seems to surprise me for some reason. In addition, my heart just feels heavy as I witness a lot of darkness and sadness around me. So, I'm choosing to control what I can control by making my house feel as cozy as possible, relishing the sunshine whenever it dares to peek through the clouds, gathering inspiration for warmer weather projects and, most importantly, resting in the comfort of the sovereignty of my Father.

“God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ So that everyone he has made may know his work..." Job 37:5-7
What if you could do something at the beginning of What if you could do something at the beginning of your day that would be a gift to yourself later on? That’s what we’re talking about on this week’s Tip Tuesday! #tiptuesday
The sun decided to make another appearance today! The sun decided to make another appearance today! It’s been such a lovely Sunday. Chocolate croissants for breakfast followed by church then naps/football/reading/etc and soon we’ll be heading out to dinner with friends. These are my favorite kind of weekends. Hope yours has been lovely too! 🌿
Yesterday was stormy and cold but today the sunshi Yesterday was stormy and cold but today the sunshine is breaking through the fog and my house just seems happier. We definitely needed to see that light streaming in through the windows and it’s a gift I don’t take for granted.

And yes, there are still twinkle lights on my mantle because those help when the sunshine goes away again. ✨
Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here i Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here in the Willamette Valley has me feeling less frustrated about my migraine forcing me to just snuggle up indoors and these flowers in my kitchen are lifting my spirits. What are you up to on this holiday weekend?
It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offe It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offering a gentle reminder from my own parenting experience after feeling my heart pricked with conviction about what was waiting for my daughter every day after school. I hope it will encourage you! 🌿#tiptuesday
The day after Christmas I found myself laundering The day after Christmas I found myself laundering and folding all of the linens we used the previous night as we hosted my husband's side of the family for dinner and other festivities. As I laid out each cloth napkin and folded them one by one, I couldn't help but be struck by what a simple, yet meaningful, task it was. It's such an honor and privilege to be the hostess and, at this stage of my life, I realize that this has almost one hundred percent become my role now. Our parents are in their 70's and have either downsized significantly or simply don't have the energy to take on hosting duties for a large group. I could resent this. I could feel overwhelmed by it. But, instead, I'm choosing to embrace it knowing that, someday, I too will pass the hosting torch and I hope that I will be welcomed with love and attentiveness. So, I fold the linen napkins, taking pleasure in the way all of the creases line up and how neat and tidy they look in the drawer of my dining room buffet. These seemingly simple chores are part of the lifeblood of homemaking and my attitude towards them can either be one of gratefulness or grumbly-ness (yes, I'm making up words now). 

And I’m choosing gratefulness. 

“This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness.” (Elisabeth Elliot⁣)
Welcome to Tip Tuesday! I’m so excited to be kic Welcome to Tip Tuesday! I’m so excited to be kicking off the year with a brand new series! Each weekly installment will feature a tip for everything from your home to faith to parenting to family life and so much more. My goal for 2023 is to have far more personal interaction with this community while continuing on with the mission of weaving together all things heart and home. I hope you enjoy this first tip and I’d love to hear from you about whether or not you decorate for winter!

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. H “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” 

Here’s to beginnings. Happy new year friends! May you experience the majesty and sovereignty of the Lord in 2023 like never before! ✨
Oh how I love this week each year! It’s my favor Oh how I love this week each year! It’s my favorite for sure. Everything is still festive and decorated but there’s none of the stress of the cooking and wrapping and making preparations. It’s the week where we get to take everything slowly and simply enjoy being together while the house still has twinkling lights and we can just be cozy.

What about you? How will you be spending this week? ✨
