Jewelry Stories from An Unexpected Arrangement
Thank you so much for joining me for today’s Jewelry Stories! I have read my fair share of Love Inspired books this year, and some of them have had the sweetest ideas for jewelry! An Unexpected Arrangement was released earlier this year, though I only had the chance to read it a couple of weeks ago. In a word – delightful! 🙂 And I’m oh-so-anxious to read the book before it and the one that comes after it in a couple of months. There was one little excerpt that mentioned jewelry, and I have been itching to create this style of earrings for my shop for a loooong time now.…

Jewelry Stories from The Lady in Residence
Thank you so much for joining me for today’s Jewelry Stories from The Lady in Residence! I have been a fan of Allison Pittman’s books ever since reading her Sister Wives series (and yes, they’re much better than the tv show that shares the same name). I have yet to find an author that writes quite like she does. Her stories are unique and fresh with deep characters and interesting plots. I was so excited to see that she was going to be a contributing author for a new series by Barbour about historical landmarks. The Lady in Residence was set in the historic Menger Hotel, and featured a heroine…

Jewelry Stories from Ashes of Glass
Hi there! So glad you could join me today for a new edition of Jewelry Stories! Today, I’m doing my second feature of an indie book, and it also happens to be a fairytale retelling. 🙂 I’ve always had an affinity for all things princesses and fairytales, so it’s no surprise that I gravitated toward this Cinderella story called Ashes of Glass. To be honest, I didn’t really enjoy the beginning of this story, but I really wanted to stick it out because I knew it would turn itself around. Turns out I was right, and this sweet Cinderella and Prince Charming tale was just the thing my romantic heart…
