Southern Gothic: Etsy features Jade Rose Designs

UPDATE: I signed up for a class on how to blog, pathetic much? That's how bad it is, I am so sorry to my faithful readers for the lack of posts (and worthwhile material). I promise to change that!!

Now, in other news!

Etsy has several admins and writers who report daily on trends in the fashion world and trends within the Etsy community. Every week, a select amount of sellers get their work featured for thousands around the world to see. This week Jade Rose Designs were included in their article! :) You can find Jade Rose Designs in the article so appropriately titled; Southern Gothic

Our piece being featured is the Cavallo Cocktail Hat





Thank you ETSY!!

Signing Off!

Jade Rose

WELCOME!

YAY! Welcome to my first blog! Don't you feel lucky?! (Well you should!!)

Jade Rose Designs is currently only online at JadeRoseDesigns.Etsy.Com and is in the process of being approved for Marthastewartweddings.com!!!


At this time they are not being sold in stores (but just wait!) Jade Rose has the pleasure of living inside a beautiful city of well know designers and artists, so what better place to sell than Portland, Oregon!



So what's new?!

-Photo shoot yesterday at Pirate Town in north Portland, Or with photographer Jourdan Moore of Jourdan Moore Photography, I cannot wait to see these photos! They were a blast to shoot and Jourdan was a great, comfortable photographer who I think really captured the look of Jade Rose Designs. Especially for you brides out there!


-Currently working on several custom orders, all for brides! This makes it difficult to post new and creative items online, but I will get there!

-New line of headbands and clips posting tonight. "Simplicity" is for the day to day woman who loves that extra spice in her step! These accessories are just right for the daily adventures life brings!

-Website in progress, just need to wait on a few things... like funds!


Other than that, I am excited to get to share my blog with you and hope you enjoy my pieces! Custom work ALWAYS wanted! It makes life that much better :)

Thank you for stopping by!
