Wednesday’s Notes d’Amour - Edition 1
Welcome to the first edition of my Notes d’Amour - where I give a tribute to the lovely things that bring me joy on a daily basis and want to share with you! Here I will highlight small businesses, little pleasures, and companies I support either here or in the US. Everything are items I have paid for and truly love - no person or business I write about has asked me to or given me things. I want to inspire you to take joy in the little things and value quality over quantity (except chocolate, that is ok in large quantities….)
Today I bring you Lady Kennedy Designs - a Dallas based artisan, wife and mother of three who turns your favorite luxury designer buttons into jewelry! She started with earrings and has since expanded into beautiful chains, rings and brooches. I adore these unique creations and they always add the best finishing touch to my outfit!
Her packaging is impeccable in a navy box with rose gold lettering and cute cards. The work she does to source these authentic designer buttons and then convert them to wearable jewelry is painstaking and she does it all in her in-home studio! As you can see above, I have amassed a collection (the red ones I received in my stocking this year….). I found out about her through a neighbor-friend (hi, Natalie!) during the pandemic lockdown and was excited to receive my first pair (the mini camellia earrings!).
Her system is, in my opinion, fantastic - she only sells through her Instagram page with live posting of items at advertised times that you need to comment “sold” on in order to win! She clearly details everything on her page and the process. The invoice is sent to your email and you can do local pick-up or she will mail it to you! Please give her a follow and keep on the lookout for her next sale!
