dear kind followers,
in light of new beginnings shola’s Jewels & Gems is going on a brief vacation as i work to give it a brand new look. once i’m through this blog will be all original content geared towards my photography adventures, street style, hidden gems around portland & vancouver, and of course the occasional cat or two.
in the meantime, follow me on Twitter and keep up with new Delicate Doilies items through Etsy & Facebook

wow, it has already been 1 whole year since the launch of Delicate Doilies. so far this adventure has been a fantastic one especially with my co-founder emily right by my side. here’s to 10 more years and a million more sales!
in honor of our birthday we’re having a 20% off sale through the 21st. just use the special code: birthday

(BIG thanks to photographer Aljon Sus Reyes for the photo above and to Lisa Davis who did our hair!)

so when you’re in love what better way to show it than to get matching tattoos of a tiny dot on the palm of your hand? that way you can press them together whenever you want or know that when you’re holding hands there’s something more going on there than just plain holding.
this is morgan and courtney.

inspired by the 2013 “play bunny” holiday collection from The Little Vicious (who i love, btw) i decided to hit up the local craft store and make a few personalized pom pom sweaters of my very own! here’s to a new look and an even newer life…
