Two of my faves: Bangles and Lace Stackable cuffs

Two of my faves: Bangles and Lace Stackable cuffs 🥰

You can NOW get the Rustic Bangles as SINGLES! This only happens when my quantities get low and that’s right now 🤪

The bangles are lightweight and simple and with a little initial or symbol they can mean so much!

What do you have stamped on your bangles?

Hanging out at Redeemer Church today for their craft fair. If you’re around (and local 🤪) come say hi!

I’m stamping all the things on site too...whew it’s been a long time!

I’m excited to see you💗

“Why do take apart jewelry? It was perfectly in

“Why do take apart jewelry? It was perfectly in tact and useable as it was. You’re ruining it!”

I remember the first time I started getting those kinds of comments on my jewelry videos on Tik Tok. I’m no longer on Tik Tok but it was the first time I’d experienced that before! IG peeps never had anything mean to say about repurposing jewelry.

It just made sense to me. Why leave an old piece of jewelry buried in your drawer when you can bring it out and change it in a way that gives it new life?

Example: I changed my Grandma’s clip on earrings to post backs. When I wear them I can share the story of how my Grandpa gave them to my grandma on New Years Eve 1956. How cool is that?

I imagine this each time I visit an antique store. I get to look at a piece of jewelry and see what it could be and not what it is. I get to wonder who wore it last and how the jewelry made them feel. I get to be a part of bringing those same feelings to you in a new way!

I love this collection so much for this reason. I love to bring new life to old jewelry.

These earrings will be there. Tomorrow 7/23 at 5pm PST.

This Heirloom Restock has more earrings for sure!

This Heirloom Restock has more earrings for sure! But I did manage to get this beauty added to the mix!

Mark your calendars for 7/23 at 5:00pm PST for the the next heirloom collection restock!

It’s Monday! And it’s a restock week!

This FRIDAY 7/23 is the next Heirloom Collection Restock 😍

I’m smitten with every single piece coming but I LOVE these earrings. It’s so hard sometimes to let some of these designs go 😂 You know this collection is usually all one of a kind designs! So I’ll just admire them hanging from your ear instead 😍

I’ll be previewing all week leading up to Friday’s Restock! Do you have a fave yet?

I’m not owed anything. Opportunities. Sales. Gro

I’m not owed anything.
Opportunities.
Sales.
Growth.
It’s all a gift.

Do I try? Yes! Do I want The Stamped Lily to do well? Yes of course!

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men” Colossians 3:23

I always want to remember this! I I want to work heartily for The Lord, in whatever I’m doing, with work AND with home. So, of course I try and I work hard.

I’m always grateful for what God does with this business. No matter what it looks like or what direction it goes in. When sales are good and when they’re not. But at the end of the day, I’ll always seek to please Him before anyone else and boy that sure does take the “performance” pressure off of my shoulders!

This stamping workshop was an unexpected opportunity and blessing and just like every other opportunity I’m grateful. So very grateful. I can’t wait to stamp with these girls and share a little piece of my heart with them. What a gift indeed.

There’s approximately 11 days until the next HEI

There’s approximately 11 days until the next HEIRLOOM COLLECTION DROP (7/23) and I don’t know how on earth I’m going to be able to pace out revealing the pieces in the collection!

I’m so happy with them and I can’t wait for you to see them all!

This pair of earrings will be in the HEIRLOOM COLLECTION DROP on 7/23💗

*As with a lot of my jewelry...these are one of a kind. I create re-purposed jewelry...so I can’t recreate pieces. There is only one pair of these available 💗

So! Since there is a little bit of time before the next release...is there anything you’re hoping to see?? Anything you’re hoping to snag??

And now my baby is 6....SIX!

This little guy keeps us on our toes for sure. Always makes us laugh and it is a joy to be his mama!

The boys are 2 years and just 4 days apart 💙 Do you have any kiddos with close birthdays?

My middle guy is EIGHT today. I’m not sure how that’s possible but I am so blessed to be his mama💙

So it’s doorway streamers and sprinkle pancakes today! 🎉

Do you have any birthday traditions for your kiddos too??

Community requires vulnerability. It’s the mome

Community requires vulnerability.

It’s the moment you step out of your comfort zone and share from those vulnerable places and she looks at you and says “I totally get it!”

Community doesn’t happen on accident. It takes work and intention and because none of us are perfect it can get messy.

But it’s worth it.

I’ve grown to appreciate community over the years. I didn’t always recognize it’s importance or it’s significance. But I’m careful to notice it now. And not to take it for granted.

Share you story. Share your life. Ask for help. Let others in. Check on your friends. Tell them you appreciate them and love them-all the time.

We were not meant to do this life alone. 💗

Tag your tribe and tell them what they mean to ya!
