Favorite things: Vintage inspired jewelry

I believe I’ve mentioned the big doings planned for this weekend, when virtually every member of my family will be in Philadelphia to attend the wedding of my niece. Some of us are so excited we can barely contain ourselves, especially now that Ginny & Jay are in town for the week in advance.

When my sister, Char (the mother of the bride) came out this weekend, she brought several pieces of jewelry and wanted our help in deciding which one she should wear to the wedding. The jewelry was designed by a friend of hers who created the signature piece to be worn by the bride this weekend.





Colleen Lehr is the designer and owner of KCR Lehr Studio, and her vintage-style creations are unique and inspired.

I took these photos rather quickly while my sister was upstairs packing to go home on Sunday, and my other sister, Ginny, helped me with the styling. We used her white scarf as a backdrop.

I love the color of these stones. And that clasp.

Swoon.

This one’s fun and kicky.

But this is the one that I wanted for myself.

So pretty.

And this one’s so unique.

The jewelry we were looking at was chosen because it complimented the mother of the bride’s dress, which is a shade of lavender.

And I believe it was this one that my sister ended up choosing.

Before I sign off, I’m going to share another little family photo with you. And this time, it’s the family of the bride. I hope they don’t mind me posting this but it’s one of my favorites because it’s so them.
Taken during a family celebration in the summer of 2010, this is my sister, Char’s family. What surprised me about this photo was that out of the four of them, three decided to make faces at the very last second – leaving Emily (in the front) looking like the normal one of the bunch.




Or did they forget to include her in on the joke?

Or maybe she is the normal one of the bunch.

I’ll never tell ~

Until tomorrow, my friends . . .
