Are you looking for a gift? An adoption gift?

I have seen Junk Posse all over the web, talked about on blogs, bragged about by customers, worn by friends. I love her style and that she is so active in supporting adoption. That is the kind of company that I like to support! If you are looking for a great gift, especially for an adoptive mommy to be look to Junk Posse for a creative and beautiful treasure.

{A big thankyou to Tracy with Junk Posse for her donation to our auction. Get a chance to bid starting August 1st!}

"To Love what I do and feel that it makes a difference-How could I ask for anymore!”


That is how I feel about my Jewelry that I design and Create to help support many non-profits and families that are adopting. It is passion with a purpose. . I really liked designing jewelry and It became a deep love for me when I started donating a nice portion of the sales to others.

My muse are the orphans that have been given a second chance by incredible people that take the risk to open their hearts and love the unloved.

I am touched by the mom’s that send me thank you notes & pictures of their little ones and I think of each one as I put a sweet name or message on the necklace. I love to make a treasure , something tangible that they can have close to them as they wait for a baby to come home or as a reminder of how they chose to be a mom and how they love their children.

The connection between women and my pieces is also something that continues to amaze me. I have had moms connect in line at Disneyland because they were both wearing one of my necklaces. I have also met many wonderful husbands that want a one of kind piece that will show how much they appreciate their wives and daughters. I have such a great respect for single mom’s who make the decision to adopt children and sometimes older children and to do the best that they can to raise them, these people are just some of my hero’s that drive me each day to be so excited to get to make my Jewelry in my little studio, each piece by hand for someone that I admire and look up to because they have chosen to be the change our children need, the hope.

Owl Themed Gotcha Party, Birthday or Baby Shower

Since we are now in the process to adopt our son, I can't help but think of his future birthday celebrations. I honestly love boy celebrations! Girl parties are super fun, but there are many unique and creative fun boy themes that I am in love with. One of which is Owls! Owls are so hip right now but are also timeless! Who doesn't love a good "hoot"?

I found this adorable bedding by Dwell Studios at Seedlings (in South Tampa, you should check it out! Most amazing baby/toddler store ever!). I'm in love and trying to think of a way to sell it to my almost 6 year old who will be sharing a room with little brother. So far, no such luck but I can always use it for a party theme! Here are some great ideas I found...

And my favorite...I love everything about this shower! I can think of so many great ways to make it a bit more birthday friendly! I love the boyish bunting and the "hooty library". A-dor-able!

A Royal Princess Birthday Party

Wow, I am simply amazed at the details and creative thought that went into this party! I love the cute little tags she used on the glasses saying "be royal, sip politely". The little "royal ball" pit was a cute idea and great for little ones. I will be looking at this party for ideas for Phia for sure! See all the beautiful pictures here on the lovely photographer Diane Elizabeth's blog!
