If you’re new here, every Thursday we get together to share our newest creations. It could be just about anything- A makeover, a project, artwork, a great recipe… I am not picky! Each weekend I will choose some of my favorite creations to highlight from the links submitted, so check back and see if the special spotlight is on you!
Today I am so excited to introduce you to one of the sweetest people in Blog Land! I was first introduced to Lisa Leonard’s line of jewelry a couple months ago and was immediately intrigued- her products are stunning!!! I scrolled through her site and read through her blog and it didn’t take me long to decide that this lady was going to be my new best friend! Her blog is so pretty!!! She has beautiful pictures of her darling family, her writings are real and fun and easy to relate to.
AND!!! I just put two and two together and realized Lisa is going to be at Bloggy Boot Camp so I get to meet her in real life!!!! I am most excited about meeting her than anything else, seriously!
Hand-stamped Jewelry is the Hottest, New Trend!
Lisa Leonard Designs takes a unique and creative perspective with creating personal keepsakes.
Here is a little bit of info about my new best friend:
When California girl and young mom, Lisa Leonard decided to start her small jewelry business five years ago, she had no idea how things would take off. With a fresh perspective and an artist’s heart she set about making jewelry that could not be found anywhere else. Her hand-stamped, sterling silver jewelry is setting the trends and is loved by women all over the world.
Her hand-wrought creations have been featured in several national magazines, such as Parenting Magazine, Pregnancy Magazine, Victoria Magazine and Wondertime. Online outlets are singing the praises of Lisa Leonard Designs, including Cookie Magazine and Glamour.com. Celebrities also love her line, including Josie Bissett, Jason and Naomi Priestly and Jennie Garth.
Each piece is hand-cut, hammered, stamped, polished and drilled with care in her California workshop. You’ll find the perfect gift for a friend, grandmother, sister or of course, yourself! And don’t forget dad or baby. Lisa offers custom keychain and baby spoons that will warm the heart.
I just love so many of her designs- take a look at some of my favorites:
Family Tree
Mama Necklace (perfect for Mother’s Day!!!) Maybe my husband will be reading this and surprise me with it!
Sister Necklace
Thin cuff bracelet
Vintage Frame Necklace
Aqua Stone Earrings
… I could seriously have chosen half a dozen more pieces to feature!!!!
I received my first piece of Lisa Leonard Jewelry a couple weeks ago. Look at this!
(except mine has a D for my last name!)
Here is a picture of me wearing the “Family Crest Necklace” and holding my new niece Lydia (just born yesterday!)
(Yikes! I look like I was the one in labor all day! Not a great picture, that’s for sure!!!)
I love this piece of jewelry! (I love the baby too, but that isn’t relevant to this post!)
Lisa has so kindly offered to make 1 LUCKY Somewhat Simple Follower their very own!!! (If your last name starts with D we can be twins!)
