The Beginning of Glitter...

                 

Lone Star Saturday is all about the inspiration behind a piece in my Etsy store.  Today I picked the Texas v-neck.  

Let me start by saying I love this shirt!  Like I could wear it everyday!!  I love the green color of the shirt and how it works with the gold glitter.  I just LOVE it!

And that's why I made more.  Texas girls are proud of where they came from.  Plus we like our sparkly pretties.   We embrace all that is southern-whether it's lots of bling, lots of hair (as in my case), gaudy jewelry, cool boots, or big belt buckles.  From the minute I cut out the glitter Texas, I knew this would be loved by more than just me.  And I have been right!  I love that people are ordering the Texas shirt (or tank) and wearing it on their vacations to other states and countries!!!  The beauty of this shirt is it is all you need.   You don't need the big hair or overload of bling to show your Texas flair.  You can throw this shirt on with a cute pair of jeans and flip flops and out the door you go!

Lone Star Saturday- Hand Stamped Jewelry

I started last summer hand stamping jewelry.  It was a nice change from the big necklaces I usually make.  However, definitely more challenging!  My first piece was a necklace for my little sister on her wedding day.  I have done several personalized pieces since then.  But when I started Lone Star Ginger, I wanted to be different than all these other ones and their "blessed mommy" charms.  Don't get me wrong-  they are cute!  I wanted to be different.  I wanted to be a little edgier.  What better way to be different than to make Lone Star mama/Ginger/ hottie/ honey/ whatever you want?!  Moms and Texans  have one thing in common-PRIDE!  Moms love their kids and Texans love their state.  Why not combine the two?!  It is still unique and each one is especially handmade for the customer.  

exert.

  But I am also a proud redhead so this charm was born: 

I like the uniqueness and imperfections of each one.  I enjoy watching the personality that each charm takes on.  Maybe it's the Texas attitude that the charms take on.  Of course, I can always make fun charms using other states:). If you want a necklace that's a little different from everyone else, ask the Lone Star Ginger! 

Hugs ya'll,
